Eagles Cut Safety Kevin Byard, Saving Big on Salary

The Philadelphia Eagles have released safety Kevin Byard just months after trading for him, citing his inability to recapture his Pro Bowl form and the need to create cap space. By releasing him, the Eagles free up around $13 million in cap space, giving them approximately $42 million to work with this offseason. With concerns about their struggling secondary, the team is expected to focus on reshaping their defensive backfield and may prioritize shoring up the secondary in the upcoming NFL draft and free agency.
