Mardy Gilyard was also released.  The Eagles were already deep at receiver with DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant, Riley Cooper, and rookie Damaris Johnson.  Gilyard had a stellar preseason, but just could not find room on the Eagles depth chart.  Gilyard did put together some good film from the preseason and will look to find room somewhere else.  

More cuts to come as Monday approaches.
