REPORT: Eagles and Vinny Curry in negotiations or something like that
4 March 2018 Eagles News
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Eagles are currently negotiating on DE Vinny Curry’s contract. This comes a short time after belief that the organization was expected to release the defensive end due to a tight cap situation heading into the 2018 free agency period.
Update on the #Eagles and DE Vinny Curry after talking with a team official: They are currently in negotiations to try to keep Vinny Curry at a different salary. Teams are also interested in potential trading for him. It sounds like nothing is quite done yet.

Coming off a Super Bowl victory, the Eagles are already over the cap for next season. Although Curry played an important role on the defensive line, he only had 3 sacks during the 2017 regular season and is currently scheduled to make $9 million this coming season.
The only caveat is the #Eagles are attempting to restructure and redo his deal. If that happens he could stay… will take a lot of work. https://t.co/O5EcFTgcAY

Realistically a trade would be the most logical move for the Eagles and Curry. That way they’d reduce cap, get their first round pick from the 2017 draft on the field more often and allow Curry to make his money.
