The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to announce some cuts today, Saturday, August 23rd. The Eagles have until Tuesday, August 26th at 4 PM EST to trim their roster down to 75. The Eagles' roster is currently full at 90 so that means 15 players will be released.
Here are our predictions.
BLG's Cuts
1) K Carey Spear
BLG: RIP Murderleg.
2) OT Michael Bamiro
BLG: Too much of a project.
3) OG Donald Hawkins
BLG: Reserve OL.
4) TE Blake Annen
BLG: Annen has intriguing size/speed but struggled with drops in training camp.
5) DB Davon Morgan
BLG: Morgan earned an offseason roster spot after impressing in a tryout earlier this offseason. Read his story.
6) DE Frank Mays
BLG: Mays has great size (6-9, 291) but he still have a lot of developing to do. Read my profile on him.
7) S Daytawion Lowe
BLG: One of the hardest names to spell on the roster.
8) NT Wade Keliikipi
BLG: Oregon bias!
9) WR B.J. Cunningham
BLG: I've always liked BJC. Maybe he'll stick around on the practice squad.
10) OLB Josh Kaddu
BLG: More Oregon bias!
11) OG Karim Barton
BLG: Practice squad potential.
12) CB Roc Carmichael
BLG: See ya, Roc.
13) WR Kadron Boone
BLG: Cool name and intriguing player.
14) C Julian Vandervelde (Injury settlement)
BLG: He's hurt and David Molk has been playing well.
15) DE Alejandro Villanueva
BLG: Great story and could end up on the practice squad.
Mike Kaye's Cuts
1) Carey Spear, K, Rookie
MK: Duh. The only think Murderleg showed off in the off-season was his inaccuracy.
2) Will Murphy, WR, 2nd Year
MK: He's the coach's pet, but there are actual competitions going on.
3) Blake Annen, TE, Rookie
MK: He is a nice prospect but showed very little in the preseason and in training camp.
4) Julian Vandervelde, C, 4th Year (Injured Reserve)
MK: Back surgery likely sealed Vandervelde's fate.
5) Karim Barton, OG, Rookie
MK: I like the idea of Karim Barton, but I am not sure he is ready to contribute to a roster at this point.
6) Donald Hawkins, G, Rookie
MK: He's not getting a ton of time as a backup fighting for a job. He may have a shot elsewhere based on his college performance.
7) Michael Bamiro, OT, 2nd Year
MK: This project just has not worked. By most accounts, he's looked terrible this off-season.
8) Josh Andrews, G/C, Rookie
MK: Molk has the backup center spot all-but locked up.
9) Wade Keliikipi, DT, Rookie
MK: It didn't seem like Keliikipi even had a shot at being the defensive line conversation.
10) Frank Mays, DE, Rookie
MK: Same as Keliikipi...
11) Alejandro Villanueva, DE, Rookie
MK: Great story, but not all that ready to contribute.
12) Josh Kaddu, LB, 3rd Year
MK: Where was he all this off-season? Prime example of a borderline talent.
13) Daytawion Lowe, S, Rookie
MK: I had high hopes from his college days, but he hasn't shown enough to be kept.
14) Roc Carmichael, CB, 3rd Year
MK: It wouldn't shock me if both Carmichael or Curtis Marsh were cut, but I go with Carmichael because Marsh at least showed well in practice. Carmichael will probably find work elsewhere with how bad the position is around the league.
15) B.J. Cunningham
MK: As reported by Geoff Mosher.
