According to PhillyVoice’s Jimmy Kempski, the Eagles are “likely” to trade linebacker Mychal Kendricks in the off-season. Despite freeing up $1.8 million in cap space by moving Kendricks, it still makes little sense to move on from a salary cap, and personnel standpoint.
After four years as a starting inside linebacker for two different defensive coordinators, Kendricks became a rotational, two down linebacker under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Once a prominent piece to the Eagles defense, the former second round pick was buried behind Jordan Hicks, and Nigel Bradham on the linebacker depth chart.
