Eagles coach Doug Pederson explains why Eagles released WR Dorial Green-Beckham, CB Dwayne Gratz

Dorial Green-Beckham was the Eagles’ biggest addition during training camp last year, but he did not even last to make a second summer with the Eagles. Green-Beckham was released last month, ending his Eagles stint after one season – a move that coach Doug Pederson addressed for the first time Monday.

“With the additions of some of the young guys picked up this spring, we just felt like it was in his interest and our best interest to let him find another suitor and keep developing our younger guys in that role,” Pederson said.

That’s a polite way of explaining why the Eagles released the underachieving wide receiver.
