The deadline for NFL teams to make their final cuts has come and gone and the Eagles have trimmed their roster down for the final time heading into the regular season. While there were no real shocking moves, Dan Klecko, Jack Ikegwuonu, Matt Schobel, and last year's third round draft pick, DE Bryan Smith, were among those sent packing. With the decision to part ways with Matt Schobel, the Birds will likely look among other team's cuts for a TE.
The Eagles for the time being are keeping seven wide receivers and A.J. Feeley is still on the team as of 6:00 PM this evening.
Guys who seemed like a long shot to make the team before preseason that made it: DE Jason Babin, RB Eldra Buckley, and WR Brandon Gibson. Michael Vick has been put on the "Exempt/Commissioners Permission List" for two weeks, meaning he can't actually participate in practice. According to WIP's Ruben Frank he can "do everything but practice and does not count against the 53 man roster." More on the Vick exemption at NFL.com.
