For the NFL, it's March 5th. Here's what's happening. The Philadelphia Eagles have stayed quiet and free agency so far, aside from some trade buzz around wide receiver, AJ Brown. Now, all eyes are on quarterback Michael Carter the second, as a potential cut candidate. The team could save $8.7 million in salary kept space by releasing him. The biggest relief available on the roster. They picked up Carter from the New York Jets, right before the 2025 trade deadline. He appeared in eight games for Philly, including one start, mostly filling in at Nickel Corner. But the Eagles never moved star Nickel, Cooper Dejean, to the outside spot, opposite Quinyan Mitchell. Fans and analysts see Carter as expendable, now that Dejean has locked down the Nickel Roll. Moving on from him, would free up Major Caproom, without hurting the secondary depth much. It's a smart financial play, as the team eyes bigger offseason moves. Highlight those exact cap savings, topping any other player's potential cut by a wide margin.

No one else cracks over $3.7 million. Keep watching the next few days, Eagles fans. If Carter gets cut, it could signal the start of more roster shakeups to build around their core. This episode is proudly sponsored by our partner. From Chase Peace, I put my head in it, S-O-L-I, solelypillow.com.
