Monday, in a purge that created a wealth of salary cap space, Howie Roseman settled family business at the NovaCare Complex.

Mathews was good last season when he was healthy. He gained 539 yards and scored six touchdowns on 106 carries (5.1 yards per carry), and was far more effective than Murray. However, as he has over the entire course of his career, Mathews was unable to consistently stay healthy.

The Eagles will head into free agency this offseason with $17.4 million under the cap and a need to lock up Fletcher Cox long-term, which is on the Eagles' minds. That cap figure is less than what we're used to seeing (cough, Chip Kelly cough), however, the Eagles could still be active in free agency. They'll just need to shop at WalMart instead of Nordstrom Rack.
