They may let go a punt kick returner and use Jay Ajayi who they need to pay more anyway, 625k is too little. There are a lot of players who love being there because it's a fun team with respect and love. They'll play for less money.
There are currently 79 players on the team and more coming before March 5th, then there's the draft.
Malcolm Jenkins is under contract through 2020. Torrey Smith might be let go and the Eagles have Mack Hollins to fill his spot. Celek is under contract next year and he took a pay cut last year. Ajayi is still on his rookie contract for 2018 at $760k. They might not able to keep Blount but Clement played big in the last half of the season. Beau Allen is probably gone next year. Smith and Allen are the only two starters I see not on the 2018 starting roster. The 3rd tight end, Burton is really good and will land someplace.
One doctor said Wentz's injury is like RG3's. The Eagles will be more patient with Carson than the Redskins were with RG3.
While Belichick and Pederson go about it much differently, they both coach to the strengths of their skill position players.
