Release
The Eagles release Herremans. He spent nine seasons with the team. His release will leave the Eagles with $2.4 million in dead money on their salary cap.
Starting CB released
The Eagles release Williams. He spent two seasons with the team. By releasing him, the Eagles open up $6.5 million in salary-cap space, but they must still allocate $1.67 million towards the cap.
They wanted to go in a new direction. That was fine with me. I’m not disappointed in anything that went on in Philadelphia. I enjoyed my time there. I enjoyed the fans, and I enjoyed my teammates.
Trade
The Eagles have a trade in place in which they will send McCoy to the Bills in exchange for Alonso. The trade allows the Eagles to clear cap space: McCoy’s salary would have taken up $11.95 million of space.
The rest of the NFC East are elated that the Eagles traded @CutonDime25. #Wow #ReallyPhilly

Trade
The Eagles trade Foles to the Rams in exchange for Bradford. From the Eagles, the Rams also get a couple of draft picks: a 2015 fourth-round pick and a 2016 second-round pick. The Eagles receive St. Louis’s 2015 fifth-round draft pick. Depending on how much Bradford plays, the Eagles may also pick up a conditional 2016 pick: if Bradford plays less than fifty percent, the Eagles will get a fourth-round pick; if he does not play at all, it becomes a third-rounder; if Bradford takes more than fifty percent of snaps, the Eagles will not receive the pick.
Released
The Eagles release Tebow. The cut leaves the Eagles with two quarterbacks on the roster, although Coach Kelly says they may add a third.
