Eagles Cut WR Kevin Curtis

Kevin Curtis has been cut by the Eagles, according to Adam Caplan's twitter page. The move is not surprising as Curtis had trouble staying healthy, and the Eagles are well-stocked at receiver with rising stars DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Jason Avant but Curtis should still find work with another team though.

A few years after the fact...

 

Howard surprises me. Curtis does not

 

Adios White Lightning. Enjoy those big butt paychecks you didn't earn.

 

The eagles seem to be cutting a lot of deadwood like Dallas did last year.

 

It was a move that had to be done Curtis was once great but now he was just dead weight

 

Curtis just can't get through the injuries, he could still bounce back and come cheap for any willing teams.

 

I felt bad for him being constantly injured, but this move makes total sense and wasn't surprising to anyone, including Kevin. I hope he can stay healthy and do well elsewhere. He's seems like a pretty cool guy.

 

Both made sense for the Eagles, i'd take Curtis as a fourth WR in Bmore.

 

I guess the one good thing about having no CBA is that releasing players does not affect your cap so i guess it makes sense that the eagles are cleaning house

 

exactly, they couldn't cut curtis, reggie brown or andrews last year because of the cap.

no issue with anyone they have cut yet.

 

What cap issues did the Eagles have? They were a ridiculous amount under...no?

 

at the beginning of the year yes but by years end they had less than $550k in cap space. check the 2009 numbers.

it would have cost them over $10mil if they cut all three last year.

 

I see...

 

they saved between 94-96 million of total salaries and bonuses by cutting all the guys they have so far.
