Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Philadelphia Eagles will be releasing defensive end Jevon Kearse.
Per Schefter, Kearse was offered a pay cut, but a deal to keep him at a reduced salary could not be reached. He was due to earn a base salary of $6.46 million in 2008.
Kearse took the league by storm as a rookie in 1999 with the Titans. Injuries became an issue for him in subsequent years.
He jumped to the Eagles as a free agent in 2004. After recovering from a serious knee injury in 2006, Kearse was buried on the depth chart in 2007.
There has been speculation that Kearse might return to the Titans, who could be losing Antwan Odom in free agency.
he was destroying people in 2006, once he got hurt he was done. I saw that they cut him yesterday, so I adjusted the title. Some team out there will sign him and that team rhymes with deadskins
He was dominant in 2006 before he got hurt, granted it was only 2 games, but the way he was playing he looked like an All pro sho in.
It was just 2 games but he was a guy that lived off of his athleticism early on. He never had much in the way of pass rushing moves and with the injuries and the scouting he was doomed.
