Eagles releasing Vinny....
- Thread starter Sash19
- Start date
nfl.com has a report that they’re trying to restructure his deal to keep him on board. Let’s hope.
Although I wouldn’t complain if he was released by Philly to be picked up by Cincinnati. Then I could actually watch Vinny play.

Vinny has made $21.4 million in his career so far. For quick perspective, a person earning $100,000 a year, a very good salary, would have to work 214 years to make that much.
Hey Vinny Curry.....YOU would love calling CAROLINA Home......Go PANTHERS.

Would be sad for him to leave. Was his childhood team. I would just take less money if I were him to guarantee I stayed with a winner and with his fav team. Especially after winning a SB.

Nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. Vinny has to set himself up for the long term. If he can get more money elsewhere, go for it and don't look back.
Follow the money Vinny. You got a ring with your hometown team, now go get paid and set your family up for life.
This is the correct approach. And as soon as he fills his pockets to his satisfaction he needs to get out of the game for health reasons, if it’s not already to late.
Most recent word is that they are trying to restructure his contract, and failing that, several teams have lined up to trade for him. He's going to be just fine.
update on Vinny.....
The Eagles were already uncomfortable with the idea of defensive end Vinny Curry making $9 million this season.
But after trading for defensive end Michael Bennett, he’s now literally a luxury they can’t afford.
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles are trying to trade Curry now.
While they were initially considering (or trying to talk him into) restructuring his contract, that’s much less likely now. And teams they’re calling will know that, so any return won’t be a big one. The 29-year-old Curry had three sacks last year, as he played through knee problems.
With more accomplished pass-rushers fetching scant returns, they can’t expect much. Bennett and a seventh-rounder got the Seahawks a fifth-rounder and wide receiver Marcus Johnson. The Dolphins acquired Robert Quinn from the Rams for fourth- and sixth-rounders.
If they can’t find someone to throw them a late pick, it seems reasonable to expect that Curry would be released.

Things like this always puzzle me? The Eagles had a great defense last year and won the Super Bowl. Vinny was a solid contributor to that defense and was a starter. He’s also still young.
Why did the Eagles think they had to change things? Was it simply money? I mean they won the Super Bowl, correct me if I’m wrong but that as high as you can go in the NFL. One of the main reason was their defense.
I just find it strange when teams do that after they won a Super Bowl.

Guessing that a trade is better than being released at this point because it locks Vinny in at the $9 million for 18-19 season. Not sure what a solid D-lineman is pulling in when it comes to free agency. Could be more, could be less... but free agency opens up the entire league to him and his agent can work towards the best match system-wise. He probably wins either way, but I know we're all hoping for the best for him!!!
Hopefully he has been smart and invested well. He should be set for life now, if he was wise. jmo.
all true, but is Vinny worth $9 million a year, relative to his production? Thats the question
$3million/sack. Thats good money for him not necessarily a good value for the franchise.
Total sacks do not tell the whole story re: Vinny's value and productivity.

I hope they find a way to keep him, I like vinny way more than Michael Bennett, and it seems they are almost the same money.
