NFL roster cuts are slowly trickling in ahead of the Tuesday\u2019s 4:00 PM deadline.<\/p>\n

\n

The latest news for the Philadelphia Eagles involves Kenyon Green. The team is waiving the 2022 first-round pick they acquired in the C.J. Gardner-Johnson trade<\/a><\/strong> earlier this offseason, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the time of the deal, there was thought that Green could compete with Tyler Steen to start at right guard. That never even came close to happening, however.<\/p>\n

Green only ever repped at left guard \u2026 and only with the second-team or third-team units. Not only did Green not perform well; he also missed two different stints due to injury dating back to when training camp began.<\/p>\n

\n

And so it\u2019s not an absolute shock that Green is a goner. I did have him on my 53-man roster projection<\/a> (whoops) but here\u2019s what I said:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Green missed a good chunk of training camp and didn\u2019t play particularly well but I don\u2019t think the Eagles are ready to give up on his potential.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

As it turns out, the Eagles were ready to give up on the 24-year-old\u2019s potential<\/a><\/strong>. At least when it comes to using a roster spot on Green. It\u2019s possible they could bring him back on the practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.<\/p>\n

The Eagles did not come out totally<\/em> empty-handed from the CJGJ trade. They did acquire a Day 3 draft pick swap that they recently sent back to the Houston Texans (packaged along with tight end Harrison Bryant) to trade for John Metchie III<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n
