The Philadelphia Eagles have released Mychal Kendricks.

Kendricks spent six seasons with the Eagles and is expected to receive considerable interest in free agency.

The New Orleans Saints have released Coby Fleener two years into a five-year, $36 million contract.

Fleener caught only 22 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games last year before finishing the season on injured reserve with a concussion. 

It's unclear why New Orleans waited until May 7 to release Fleener, but it's possible that they were waiting for some sort of medical clearance. 

Fleener was released Monday with a "failed physical" designation.

The Saints designated Fleener as a post-June 1 release, a move which will save the team about $2.5 million against this year's salary cap, with another $3.2 million in "dead money" counting against their cap next year.
