Eagles release Byard after midseason trade

The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing safety Kevin Byard, the team announced Friday.

Philadelphia acquired Byard from the Tennessee Titans in October 2023 in exchange for 2024 fifth- and sixth-round picks plus Terrell Edmunds.

Byard suited up in 10 games for the Eagles in 2023, recording one interception and 75 tackles.

The move gives the Eagles just over $13 million in cap savings, according to Over The Cap.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Byard has 28 interceptions over his career, including a league-high eight in 2017.
