The Philadelphia Eagles will release Alshon Jeffrey when the new league year begins in March, according to a report.

The Eagles restructured Jeffery's contract in early January, in order to create some salary cap relief and also to speed up the timeline on making a decision on the receiver's future.

Jeffery caught 171 passes for 2,237 yards and 20 touchdowns in four seasons with Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released DeSean Jackson.

"Looking forward to my next chapter," Jackson posted on social media before the announcement was made official. "Philadelphia it's always Love. Appreciate Everything."

By releasing Jackson, the Eagles are expected to get around $6 million in cap relief. Philadelphia is currently projected to be about $50 million over the 2021 salary cap and will continue to shed salary prior to the start of the league year in March.

The path for Jalen Hurts to become the starter for the Philadelphia Eagles is clearer following the Carson Wentz trade, but the team still plans to bring in some competition at quarterback.

Philadelphia has the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Hurts, 22, started four games for the Eagles at the end of last season.

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2021 third-round pick and conditional 2022 second-round pick, according to league sources.

The 2022 pick could become a first-rounder if Wentz plays more than 75% of snaps next season, or he plays at least 70% of snaps and the Colts make the playoffs.

The Indianapolis Colts "aren't budging" in their position regarding a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for Carson Wentz.

According to a report, the Colts haven't "significantly changed" their offer from where it was more than a week ago.

Nevertheless, talks between the two teams have continued regarding the quarterback.

While Carson Wentz is expected to be traded soon, the Philadelphia Eagles are also working on a possible trade involving Zach Ertz, according to reports.

The Eagles have specifically reached out to the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks about an Ertz trade.

The Colts have already been in discussions with the Eagles about Wentz, but not at Philadelphia's price.

If a trade partner can't be found, the Eagles could release Ertz outright.

Despite reports that the Philadelphia Eagles are close to trading Carson Wentz, negotiations may linger longer than expected.

According to a report, the Eagles are still waiting for an offer they feel is fair.

It remains to be seen what Philadelphia views as a fair offer, but rumors have indicated that the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts are willing to part with a first-round pick.

The Philadelphia Eagles expect to trade Carson Wentz within the next few days.

The Eagles are said to be looking for, in the words of one well-placed source, "a Matthew Stafford package" in return for Wentz. The Lions traded Stafford to the Rams last weekend for a third-round pick this year, two future first-round picks and quarterback Jared Goff, the player selected directly in front of Wentz as the top two picks in the 2016 NFL draft.

The Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts are two teams that have expressed interest in Wentz.

Although the Eagles do not feel rushed to trade Wentz, and nothing can be made official until the new league year begins March 17, Wentz does have a $10 million roster bonus due on the third day of the league year that Philadelphia would have to pay if their former first-round pick were on their roster.

Teams have begun calling the Philadelphia Eagles about Carson Wentz, according to sources.

The Eagles are in no hurry to trade Wentz, but they did field calls and discuss the quarterback.

Wentz reportedly wants out of Philadelphia, but the Eagles remain hopeful they can correct any issues with the relationship.

Despite changes to the coaching staff this offseason, Carson Wentz still prefers a fresh start and a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a report.

The Eagles fired Doug Pederson and hired Nick Sirianni. The new head coach served as the offensive coordinator under Frank Reich with the Indianapolis Colts. Reich was Philadelphia's coordinator when Wentz nearly won MVP in 2017.

Adam Schefter noted that Wentz has yet to welcome Sirianni or comment on Pederson's firing.

"(He) wants to leave the franchise," Schefter said on 97.5 The Fanatic. "That's why (a) trade still is in play. This is all real. None of this is made up."
