Despite another decent year, Philadelphia enters the offseason with what seems like more questions than ever.<\/p>\n<p>General manager Howie Roseman has been known for creative moves and for always figuring things out when things seem tough. As a result, I\u2019d expect Philadelphia to be in another really good spot moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>That reality makes any potential release a big deal, especially when it involves a player acquired midseason with hopes of turning them into a better team.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bleacher Report\u2019s Alex Ballentine, cornerback Michael Carter II stands out as one of the few players whose contract could realistically be moved this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Eagles don&#8217;t have a ton of legitimate cap casualty candidates because of the way they structure their contracts. Most of the money they clear will have to come through restructures or contract extensions,\u201d Ballentine <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25366249-every-teams-most-likely-cap-casualties-ahead-2026-nfl-offseason\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While most of the roster is in a different spot, Carter\u2019s situation is different due to being traded for by the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael Carter II is the exception. The cornerback was brought in via trade this season so his deal with the Jets is structured in a way that a release could make sense. The Eagles brought him in for the final eight games of the season, but he only played 20 percent of the snaps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carter was acquired at the deadline, as Philadelphia searched for answers in a secondary that was just about average. The move was viewed as a low-risk one to add experience and versatility, as Carter had shown value during his time with the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>However, his smaller role in Philadelphia has raised questions about how the coaching staff ultimately views him.<\/p>\n<p>From a football standpoint, Carter still offers experience in multiple ways, but the Eagles\u2019 secondary is expected to deal with other changes, so there\u2019s a chance they want to tear it down a bit.<\/p>\n<p>If Philadelphia believes similar production can happen froma cheaper player, it\u2019d make sense to go that route. Either way, I think we all should have trust in Roseman to get something done here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; offseason is here, and they have many questions to answer in it.
