3 potential surprising cuts from around the NFL that would fit the Eagles

There are plenty of noteworthy players that will be cut following NFL training camp and before the 2024 season kicks off. And the Philadelphia Eagles could have interest in adding one or more of those players to bolster their roster.

Mike Payton of A to Z Sports detailed a player from each of the 32 NFL teams that could be a surprise cut candidate.

3 potential surprising cuts from around the NFL that would fit the Eagles

WR Kyle Phillips, Tennessee Titans

Philips has been buried on the depth chart by free agent addition Tyler Boyd and sixth-round pick Jha’Quan Jackson. The competition for snaps in the slot will be highly competitive with Treylon Burks potentially getting some action there in 2024. Philips has looked good when healthy, but injuries have made this an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster for the third year player out of UCLA. - Titans writer Jack Gentry

The Eagles must get the slot wide receiver job figured out and they already have a handful of players to choose from at the moment for the job, however, if they're not confident in what they see following training camp, Kyle Phillips could be a guy they bring in for comfort.

Edge Darrell Taylor, Seattle Seahawks

Tyler Lockett would be the perfect piece for this exercise until he agreed to restructure his deal earlier this offseason. Now, a reasonable option is edge defender Darrell Taylor. He's been a solid player, but regressed to a 5.5-sack season in 2023. With Boye Mafe progressing and with the expensive addition of Dre'Mont Jones becoming more expensive cap-wise in year 2, cutting Taylor could be a viable, yet not likely, outcome for Seattle. The move can make sense especially because there's basically no dead money left, and the Seahawks would save $3.1 million. - Seahawks contributor Wendell Ferreira

The Eagles are always looking to add depth to their defensive line and that will be the case now more than ever with Fletcher Cox out of the picture. If there's a chance they can get Darrell Taylor to come play in Philly, then you know that Howie Roseman is at least going to try.

Tight End Mo Alie-Cox, Indianapolis Colts

The Colts TE room has five players who have played roles on the teams offense over the past few seasons, Kylen Granson, Jelani Woods, Andrew Ogletree, Will Mallory and the vet in the room Mo Alie-Cox. Seeing how they cut down the room after Training Camp is going to be something everyone's eyes are glued too. Fans have been wondering when veteran Mo Alie-Cox's time would end but it's seemed like he has nine lives. With the youth in the TE room having signatory more inside where they choose to keep three or four TEs I think this is the end or the road for the veteran TE. - Colts beat writer Destin Adams

The tight end position is an interesting topic for the Birds and a position that should be used more this year under Kellen Moore's tight-end-friendly offense. Sure, the Eagles have Dallas Goedert and signed CJ Uzomah in free agency, but outside of that, there's not much reliable TE depth on the roster.
