Why did they cut him?

I've always thought he was an excellent player.  Was this salary related?  I don't get it.

edit: He had 2 years left on his contract.  They save $5,850,000 in salary for 2018 but will take a $3,200,000 dead money hit from his bonus (could be spread over 2 years if a "June 1 cut" designation is applied).

He'll land somewhere for sure.

This development makes his release even more suspicious

Eagles LB Paul Worrilow has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the 2018 season.

Worrilow was a mere depth signing in April, but his loss is a blow for a team that just released Mychal Kendricks on Tuesday. Worrilow, who was a part-time player for the Lions last season, turned 28 earlier this month. The Eagles should be in the market for linebacker help.

 

Apparently coming off an ankle scope:

Eagles released SLB Mychal Kendricks.

The move will create $6 million in cap space if Kendricks is designated as a post-June 1 cut, leaving behind just $1.6 million in dead money. Kendricks' release comes after the Eagles (again) failed to find a trade partner for their two-down thumper. Kendricks wanted to play all three downs. Going on 28, Kendricks had one of his best seasons in 2018. Provided he's healthy — Kendricks is recovering from an ankle scope — he won't be on the open market for long. Linebacker is a position of need for the Eagles.

He used to come into a local Italian restaurant near my house in philly on south street. Casual family place. He'd come in alone and eat at the bar and chat up the other patrons. Seems the antithesis of a party animal. Super nice, articulate and outgoing guy and generous with his time for autographs and photos with fans even during his dinner. I will look on my old phone and see if I can find some photos. STB.
