Commence the Eagles salary cap purge, Leodis McKelvin is the first casualty

8 February 2017 Eagles News


Commence the Eagles’ salary cap purge. Today, the Eagles officially released CB Leodis McKelvin.

This move comes as no shock. Everyone knew that McKelvin was going to be released. At his age and his level of play, he was not worth the $3 million he was due to make. By releasing him, the Eagles save that money.

With McKelvin off of the roster, there is now a hole in the Eagles cornerback room. Who are the Eagles going to fill that whole with? Possibly a first-round draft?

McKelvin did not offer the Eagles anything this past season. In fact, he hurt the team more than helping the team on Sunday’s. As I said before, this move is no shocking at all. McKelvin is the first casualty of the Eagles roster purge, who will be next?
