The Eagles are going to get ravaged in free agency this year.
from yahoo.com:
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: QBs Jeff Garcia and Koy Detmer; WR Donte' Stallworth; RBs Correll Buckhalter and Reno Mahe; LB Shawn Barber; CBs Roderick Hood and William James; S Michael Lewis; DE Juqua Thomas.
RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: None.
NEEDS: Garcia was willing to return as a backup to Donovan McNabb, but he likely will get better offers from other teams. Eagles are comfortable with re-signed .J. Feeley as backup. They will try to re-sign Stallworth, but won't overpay because he's been prone to injuries. If Stallworth doesn't return, adding a playmaking receiver becomes a priority. Also need at least one starting linebacker, a power running back to complement Brian Westbrook, more depth on the defensive line, a nickel cornerback, a safety and a returner with game-breaking skills.

The Ravens waived Jamal Lewis, but Ozzie Newsome hopes to re-sign him during this off-season? WTF? He says there has been some good dialogue? I have been fired from a job before. When I was cleaning up my desk, the boss never came around to say "Sorry it had to end like this. But apply for a job here again in a few months and we will see what we can do".
Don't re-sign him. He is eating up the salary cap.

That is standard practice to release and resign a player. It happens year in and year out. With the salary cap the way it is it is necessary to make moves like that.
