Filed under: Eagles, NFC East According to their official website, the Eagles have parted ways with former first round draft pick Jerome McDougle. After a great career at Miami, McDougle was selected 15th overall by the Eagles in 2003 and in his disappointing career with the Birds he notched just three sacks.

Jerome never had the hype surrounding him like the infamous Mike Mamula but three career sacks from the 15th overall selection isn’t exactly Andy Reid’s shinning moment. To be fair to Jerome, he battled through being shot in 2005 during an attempted robbery and made tremendous strides this preseason.

Look for McDougle to show up on another team’s roster in the next few days.

Other notable cuts included RB Ryan Moats and TE Kris Wilson. The surprise name who has impressed this preseason to find himself a roster spot is LB Joe Mays. His special teams play will be vital to the Eagles attempt to remake their special teams programs.
