What’s more important: saving face, or saving salary cap space?
That’s a decision the Eagles will have to make at some point over the next 10 days, and if they’re even marginally acquainted with basic economic principles, they’ll have an easy time of it.
Besides, when it comes to the nearly $16 million they’ll have paid Mychal Kendricks over three years, there isn’t much face to be saved.
The math is simple: by cutting or trading Kendricks before the start of the new league year, the Eagles will free up twice the amount of salary cap space than if they waited until this time next year.
