Eagles Cut 323-Pound Veteran Before Chiefs Clash in Ruthless Roster Shake-Up

Philadelphia, PA – September 9, 2025

The Philadelphia Eagles made an early-season move that caught both fans and analysts by surprise. Just days after their season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys, the team confirmed a roster cut that sends a sharp message about accountability.

The decision came at a time when the Eagles are preparing for their Week 2 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead of standing pat after a victory, the front office showed it was willing to act quickly to eliminate weaknesses, regardless of timing.

Criticism had been building through training camp and into Week 1, with many pointing to an underperforming veteran as the most vulnerable piece of the roster. He was inactive against Dallas and had already become a lightning rod for frustration.

That player was Kenyon Green, the 323-pound guard acquired from Houston earlier this offseason. Once a first-round pick in 2022, Green posted a disappointing 37.7 Pro Football Focus grade last year and never managed to rebound in Philadelphia. Beyond poor performance, he drew the ire of coaches for a troubling pattern — arriving late to team activities, showing lapses in discipline, and frequently cutting back on conditioning sessions meant to stabilize his massive frame.

“We need players ready to give everything for this team. Standards in Philadelphia don’t change, no matter your draft status or history,” a team official told reporters after the move.

Fans didn’t hold back. Social media threads quickly lit up with comments like “Finally, we’re done with him” and “That trade was a mistake from the start.” For many, the cut felt less like a surprise and more like overdue justice.

Behind the scenes, Eagles GM Howie Roseman has already begun exploring options to reinforce the offensive line and add depth across the roster. With the team’s Super Bowl ambitions clear, Roseman is expected to stay aggressive in finding reliable replacements who can match Philadelphia’s demanding culture.

Financially, the Eagles will absorb a modest cap hit from Green’s guaranteed salary, but the move frees up a roster spot for a more versatile depth piece. With Patrick Mahomes and the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs looming, Philadelphia signaled there’s no room for passengers on the road to contention.

Đối với nhiều người, việc cắt giảm cảm thấy không giống như một bất ngờ và giống như công lý quá hạn.
