Twitter: Eagles releasing LB Kendricks

...After the firing of Andy Reid and hiring of Chip Kelly, Kendrick was moved to middle linebacker after the change in defensive scheme from their 4-3 defense to the 3-4 defense. Kendrick then became one of the starting middle linebackers where he put up impressive numbers. In 40 games he racked up 278 tackles, 11 sacks, 11 passes defended, three interceptions, and six forced fumbles.

Then in 2016, Kendrick went through his third coaching change after the firing of Chip Kelly and hiring of Doug Pederson. He then changed position again moving from middle linebacker back to weakside linebacker. Where he saw less playing time under new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. In 30 games, Kendrick had 101 tackles, seven passes defended, and 2.0 sacks.

Now released, Kendrick will garner a lot of attention on the free agent market. The Dallas Cowboys have an opportunity to get a player that they liked in the past. Only time will tell if they are willing to pull the trigger on a deal.

Bryan: I don’t see an interest in Kendricks at this point, especially since they drafted Vander Esch and Covington. Throw in Smith from last year and they want to see these guys play.

David: I’ve never met Mychal Kendricks, but if I had to guess, I bet he thinks he’s capable of starting. That’s not going to happen here — not with all the additions this team has made at be position. I think the Cowboys are happy with the depth they’ve added over the last three months.
