Allen Barbre wasn’t the only Philadelphia Eagles player to be released on Wednesday (story here). The team also cut defensive end Marcus Smith, according to an official announcement from the team. Howard Eskin was first to report the news.

Is this guy worth getting picked up? Browns are near tops in the Waivers. Could this potentially be a Jerry Hughes type situation where a change of scenery actually pays off??

Eagles run a 34 right? Could he be better in a 43?

Doubtful. He "improved" last year, but if we're being real, he didn't deserve playing time over Steven Means.  The Eagles gave him every chance to try and be a contributor, but he just lacks in so many areas that it's hard to put him on the field.  Eagles ran a 4-3 last year btw.

Want him in Dallas at least for preseason. God knows we need all the pass rush help we can get.

If you need someone to dress and line up at DE...but you won't be getting any kind of pass rush from him

This draft pick was cursed from the start. It was originally the Colts, traded to Cleveland for Trent Richardson, then traded to Philly for the pick used on Johnny Manziel

Ewww. That pick really was cursed. Destroyed every draft pick it even associated with

Marcus Smith. It's dumb picks like that which got Chip Kelly canned.

Except Howie Roseman admitted to drafting Marcus Smith.  Regardless, the rest of that draft was actually pretty solid. For Chip, it was not understanding the value of players and the NFL marketplace that was his downfall.
