Football Mychal Kendricks - Page 7

**The Franchise** · 02-12-2017, 08:41 PM

A source told Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski that the Eagles are indeed likely to trade SLB Mychal Kendricks.

Kempski previously strongly speculated Kendricks would be moved, and he now has a source confirming it. Kendricks regressed into a lightly used sub-package linebacker under first-year DC Jim Schwartz, playing fewer snaps than both MLB Jordan Hicks and WLB Nigel Bradham. If the Eagles can't find a taker for the remainder of Kendricks' five-year, $30 million deal, Kempski believes they may designate him a post-June 1 cut, freeing up $5 million in cap room. The Eagles would likely be willing to deal Kendricks for a mid- to late-round pick.

There has to be some issue with Kendricks or teams would be jumping at the chance to pick him up.j

Supposed to about 5/6 LBs going in the top 3 rounds this year.

Sure leads a person to think that for sure because it doesn't make sense.

Don't know what it is but i imagine that General Managers etc talk.

Apparently, there is some issue behind that scenes that fans don't know about.

Maybe he refuses to follow the defensive scheme, focusing on padding his stats instead.

I can't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall reading some tweets about his poor adjustment to the 43 scheme and some concerns about a lack of physicality displayed in some situations. I also think there were some disagreements with the coaching staff about his deployment that soured his relationship with the Eagles.

I'm trying to remember where I read that....

I don't think there's anything wrong with him other than scheme fit. Like Barwin.

Teams are just waiting for him to get cut for free, sign him cheaper, he will have suitors on the open market just like Barwin currently does.

I'd like Barwin more than Kendricks. Durable, character guy, still very productive.

Kendricks isn't very disciplined and is too much a finesse player for my liking.
