Most people don't realize that the Eagles play only 2 LB's way over 50% of the time. They felt like Corey Nelson could fill that Kendricks role at a fraction of the cap cost. You can't judge the move until you see what they do with that 6 million in cap space they just freed up.
The Worrilow injury is very unfortunate and while it happened on the same day is not related to Kendricks being released other than overall LB depth taking a hit. Kendricks was a will, Worrilow's role was to be the backup/insurance for Hicks. There are still some decent options out there in free agency to fill that role like Bowman and Cushing so I would expect them to go out and sign someone fairly soon.

I know I am probably beating a dead horse here and you guys all said you are not worried about it, but again we are getting rid of people who just contributed to our first super bowl win ever.
And some people think we aren't even done yet: they want us to get rid of Darby and Graham for example.
My expectations for this season are not great right now. Hope I am proven wrong and the system is more important than the individual players.

Can’t live in the past. Adapt or die.
The Phillies would have been better off getting rid of some their own instead of “taking care” of them because they delivered a championship.

The core contributors are still here. Hell, they kept Nick Foles even though Cleveland apparently offered Pick 35 in this past draft.
No reason to worry.

I always liked Kendricks and thought he could have been a star in a different system but you can't keep him at his cap hit considering he plays half the snaps. Malcolm Jenkins is your third LB for half the game.

You don’t have free speech nor the right to protest while you’re an employee of a company.
Would you be able to keep your job if you protested on company time?
they never used to show the anthem on tv unless it was a big game with some star doing it anyway. now it will probably just go back to that instead of being the big issue/highlite for espn and their political sports agenda shows

It really got to point where South Park wasn’t being that far fetched. The broadcast actually were rambling off a list of what players kneeled or sat during it at the end like it’s some game.

NFL players aint exactly insurance claim adjusters. Supply dictates demand.
Very limited supply of NFL players compared to the type of regular corporate/business sector type gigs to which youre referring.
Its just business.
Owners caved to the players with the fund for charities they promised and now they cater to the rednecks by imposing the no-kneel rule.
Trying to keep both sides placated so they can get back to earning.

why am i watching this
Nonsense.
The National Anthem playing before a game is such a fluky American thing that no one else does; I don't see how this question holds water when comparing to a normal job. In fact, by giving players the option to remain in the locker room, the NFL is implying that being present for the anthem is not a strict work obligation at all--enough to give them the option of skipping it, anyway. It's not like they are ignoring typing emails or filing recipes or whatever minutiae in order to protest. They are simply making a point during a non-obligatory pregame ceremony that is completely pointless.
This whole episode could have been avoided if 1) the league would grow a set and stand by its players and 2) these offended American patriots would take a second to educate themselves, try to understand the world from the point of view of people who are murdered and brutalized by police, and consider that maybe all isn't Holy and Good in this clusterf*** of a country.
