Breaking: Eagles releases three of their key players ahead of final roster cutdown.

Every team in the league must make roster adjustments as the 2024 NFL season approaches. Playoffs officially begin on September 5, with the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs playing in the season’s opening game.

The Philadelphia Eagles are one team that has garnered a lot of interest recently. The squad had a terrible finish to the 2023 season but had a successful NFL summer, leading to the team’s acquisition of superstar running back Saquon Barkley, who was previously with the division rival New York Giants.

The Eagles may be able to make a strong comeback in 2024 with Barkley back in the fold and Philadelphia looking to have made all the right moves over the offseason, but before Week 1, the team will need to make some difficult personnel decisions.

The organization revealed on Monday that it has cut ties with four players, the most prominent of whom was quarterback Will Grier, via its Twitter account.

We have released QB Will Grier, DB Parry Nickerson, OLB Julian Okwara, and G Max Scharping.

Despite the fact that Jalen Hurts will be the quarterback for the Eagles for the foreseeable future—something that doesn’t seem likely to alter anytime soon—the quarterback position is worried about having some insurance behind their star, especially given the way he plays.

With rookie Kenny Pickett not putting up anything to show the Eagles made the proper trade in acquiring him, the team needed to make the right decisions in order to have a strong depth chart.

Pickett, who has disappointed Philadelphia thus far, is Hurts’ backup right now, with Tanner McKee filling in as the third string after Grier’s departure.
