The Eagles have the draft capital to trade for Byard, but almost certainly cannot take on his $13.6 million salary in 2023. If the Titans were to release him, they would save around $6 million in cap space but retain $13.6 million in dead cap space. The two-time, first-team All-Pro has a $19.6 million cap number this year.

The Tennessee Titans approached Kevin Byard about taking a pay cut, but the Pro Bowl safety does not believe his play warrants a decrease in salary, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.īyard's plan has always been to play for one organization and ultimately retire as a Titan, but the two sides are at a crossroads, according to sources.īyard signed a five-year extension worth $70.5 million, with $31 million guaranteed, in 2019. The Titans reportedly asked Byard to take a pay cut, to which Byard (probably rightfully) was like, "GTFOH." From old friend Turron Davenport of ESPN: Kevin Byard, Titans (30): Byard is a playmaking safety who has picked off at least 4 passes in 7 of his NFL seasons, including a league-leading 8 in 2017.If the Eagles as an organization want their defensive scheme to prioritize limiting explosives like Gannon did to a sometimes detrimental degree, then Amos would make sense. To be determined what Sean Desai's defensive scheme will look like, but that sounds like a guy Jonathan Gannon would value. "Amos had long been one of the most consistent, reliable safeties across the NFL, allowing an explosive reception on just 1% of coverage snaps over five seasons from 2017-21." I thought this was an interesting nugget on Amos, from PFF: Amos had a down year on an atrocious Packers defense in 2022, but has otherwise had a good career. Adrian Amos, Packers (30): Amos spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Bears, where new Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai was a defensive quality control coach.

He was a solid player in Cleveland, but did not live up to the lofty expectations that came with that contract and was released with a June 1 designation at the start of free agency this offseason. Johnson is a decent veteran safety, and at 28 he should not yet be in decline. John Johnson III, Browns (28) : Johnson was a very good starting safety over his first four seasons in the NFL with the Rams, earning a three-year, $33.75 million contract from the Browns when his rookie contract expired in 2021.Mailbag: Should the Eagles select Georgia DT Jalen Carter if he falls in the draft?.Report: Eagles S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to sign with the Lions.2023 NFL free agency: live tracker and open thread.The Eagles know Mills as a person well, and he could give them some versatility in the secondary. At 29 years of age, it would make sense for him to make that move now. Mills was always a little speed-deficient as a cornerback, and seemed destined at some point during his career to transition back to safety, where he played at LSU. Y’all know I really play safety right?.- Jalen Mills March 13, 2023
