Eagles Release Safety Kevin Byard, Freeing Up Cap Space

The move saves Philadelphia approximately $13.7 million, allowing for more flexibility in the upcoming free agency period.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released safety Kevin Byard, generating significant cap space ahead of free agency.
Byard, who joined the Eagles in 2023 from the Tennessee Titans, played 10 games for Philadelphia, recording 75 tackles, one interception, and three passes defended.
The move saves the Eagles approximately $13.7 million in salary cap space, allowing them more flexibility in the upcoming free agency period.
Byard's release leaves the Eagles with a need to rebuild their secondary, particularly at the safety position opposite Reed Blankenship.
Despite the release, Byard, a two-time All-Pro, is expected to attract interest from other teams due to his experience and past performance.
