Can't say I have ever seen this?

From The Athletic....

"The [Mack Hollins] move also raised questions about a possible disconnect between the coaching staff and front office. It was the fifth time this season the Eagles cut a player who has been a starter or contributor, following the removals of Matthews, Zach Brown, Andrew Sendejo and Akeem Spence."

I don't recall if I ever seen a team cut five players in a season that were contributors before? And in the case of Matthews, Brown and Hollins, were playing nearly every snap just a week earlier!!

Do that Once or twice, and I see good hard nosed leadership from a coach or GM. Do it FIVE times and I start to think that the leadership is the problem. Am I wrong to see this as a huge indicator of a deeper problem with whomever is making these decisions?

There is no good outcome here? If it was a good cut, it indicates it was a bad decision to play them. If its a bad cut, its a bad cut? These sort of moves are normally indicative of lockerroom discord...most likely between coach and player. Again, FIVE times.

It seems unfortunately that we have reached another time when the boss (Lurie) will need to step in, and the decisions that need to be made will likely be to undo something that he did just three years ago that worked well involving some combo of Roseman, Pederson and Schwartz. Hard to believe we are here just three years after a Super Bowl win.

I think Howie and the coaching staff are absolutely on different pages this year. Some of the decisions made this year are very questionable. Why on earth Mack Hollins continued to get starters run all year while being miserably ineffective is beyond me. Rookie WR's are getting a ton of play all over the league this season, yet JJAW barely sees the field. Jordan Matthews, who at least was seeing some targets ... get's released ahead prior to Hollins who has barely even played ST's btw, so he's been worthless. They also released LJ Fort even though they were short handed at LB. He then goes to Baltimore immediately becoming productive with them and being extended. A move that still has me scratching my bald head. The Sendejo release was a no brainer though ... dude was making a lot of bone head plays and it possibly can get us a 4th round comp pick.

From my perspective it appears that there is a lack of leadership from both the HC and the players. More discord than not. IMO this reflects poorly on Pederson.
It’s time for big changes.

I agree, but standard SOP would be to give these guys another year given the tremendous success just three years ago.
