CB Michael Jacquet https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2021/08/30/philadelphia-eagles-waive-cb-michael-jacquet/ Adding to the list of those waived (thanks @Hawkeye ) DE Matt Leo DT Raequan Williams CB Craig James WR Andre Patton RB Jason Huntley Add Fulgham to the list of those waived: Roster currently sits at 68 ... 15 more to go. Adding WR John Hightower to the list of those waived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quote The Eagles have set their initial 53-man roster and running back Jordan Howard is not on it. When the Eagles waived Kerryon Johnson a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like a good sign for Howard’s chances of surviving the cut in Philly. That’s not how things turned out, however, and the Eagles kept Miles Sanders, Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell on the roster instead. The Eagles also released tight end Richard Rodgers, who first joined the team in 2018. They did keep Tyree Jackson, who will miss a chunk of time with a back injury and will likely go on injured reserve now that he’ll be eligible to return to action. That could open the door for a quick return for Rodgers. Wide receiver Travis Fulgham was one of the players placed on waivers. He had a productive stretch for the Eagles early last season, but cooled off in the second half. Safety Andrew Adams, tackle Le'Raven Clark, defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway, and cornerback Kevon Seymour were also released. Safety Blake Countess was placed on injured reserve and defensive tackle T.Y. McGill is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Eagles waived safety Grayland Arnold, offensive lineman Kayode Awosika, wide receiver John Hightower, running back Jason Huntley, cornerback Michael Jacquet, cornerback Craig James, defensive end Matt Leo, guard Sua Opeta, wide receiver Andre Patton, offensive lineman Ross Pierschbacher, safety Elijah Riley, linebacker JaCoby Stevens, and defensive tackle Raequan Williams. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/08/31/jordan-howard-richard-rodgers-among-eagles-cuts/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundAttack Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Seems like Holyfield gets cut every year. I didn’t think he was going to make it but feel for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First cut to 85 (86 for us due to exemption for Leo), 2nd cut to 80 (81 for us). Subtract another 5 = 76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weko Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 If Toth shows anything he might not make it thru waivers. Young improving OTs are hard to find. I would be interested in opinions from those who watched him, Opeta and the FA OG from Buffalo. Not sure why we like Opeta so much. Would rather keep the other two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather keep the other two i didn’t watch the last game but i know in one of the games you didn’t like opeta he completely didn’t block his man giving gainwell no chance at blocking him and resulting in a sack.

From what I've seen in the past some decisions have nothing to do with football. What many don't know is before Newman opted out his final year in college due to COVID, there was talk of him going in the 1st round. So tell me, did Mullens over Newman have anything to do with football? Of course this has nothing to do with Smith, he's too small for the LB position and he's not a hitter.

He got hurt last year and we were able to sign him cheap and give him a look. It didn't work out here. Perhaps learning a new system after rehabbing an injury affected his confidence. Whatever the reason, he just didn't impress this staff. Neither did Newman. This has everything to do with football. Play well. Help the team get better. Keep your job.

Newman's problem was that he barley played for Wake Forrest so he transferred to Georgia. A lot of people based off of his skill set and physical attributes thought he could end up being a 1st round pick .... Then out of nowhere he decided to he wasn't playing because of covid. No one is blaming him for not playing with covid but, he should of opted out sooner and also came back last year and played a full season. So instead they just have a guy with good physical skills that played a handful of college games. He screwed himself over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn7980 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hollyfield had quite a few carriers in the Jets game. Not that he could have make the team, but he could be of interest to some teams in a trade. Cutting him this early is giving him a chance to land with another team.

One can't "play well" if they're cut before the start of training camp, he was waived the 1st week of June, traiining camp started July 27th.

And yet here we are at the end of camp and not a single team has picked him up. If he was any good someone would have added him to their roster in the last 2+ months.

He was there for the rookie minicamp and obviously wasn't helping the team get better. Mullens came in and had some good camp days at QB early. His preseason games were not very good, which led to his release. You're making more of something than there is to make. Newman didn't impress. Mullens impressed a little more, but ultimately not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
