The Eagles plan to release Jeffery when the new league year begins March 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffery's imminent release doesn't come as any sort of surprise, given that the soon-to-be 32-year-old carries a $14 million cap hit for 2021. He only suited up for seven games during an injury-riddled 2020 campaign, securing six catches for 115 yards and one touchdown, the lowest totals of his career. Jeffery hasn't put up a 1,000-yard season since 2014, and he's now logged back-to-back years with under 500 receiving yards. With plenty of big-name wideouts scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, Jeffrey seems unlikely to encounter a bidding war for his services.
The one thing I said when the birds picked him up is he was a solid WR that has a history of getting injured every year. the one time he stayed healthy was the SB year but did they seriously expect him to stay healthy? They gambled and lost on that contract extension.
