Eagles don't officially waive any player, notify at least 14 players of pending releases

The Matt Barkley trade was the Eagles' only official transaction on Friday, but they informed other players of pending transaction.

The team decided to waive running back Raheem Mostert; wide receivers Rasheed Bailey, Quron Pratt; tight end Andrew Gleichert; offensive linemen John Moffitt, Malcolm Bunche, Brett Boyko, and Julian Vandervelde; defensive linemen Brian Mihalik and Trevor Raciti; linebacker Deontae Skinner; defensive backs Randall Evans and Chris Prosinski; and punter Kip Smith, according to multiple sources and multiple reports.

The decision to release Prosinski was notable because he was a top special teams performer for the Eagles last season after they signed him in November. His departure could mean that Ed Reynolds and/or Jerome Couplin earn a spot as a reserve safety.

On the offensive line, Josh Andrews is a player to watch after the team moved on from Moffitt, Vandervelde, Bunche, and Boyko. Moffitt had a chance to earn a starting job this summer, but he showed rust returning from nearly two years away from football and struggled in the preseason. Bunche, a Newark, Del. native, is a promising young lineman who could end up on the team's practice squad.

Mostert excelled during the preseason, but the Eagles are too deep at running back to keep the undrafted rookie. Bailey (Roxborough) and Pratt (Palmyra) were both local prospects who could not break through a deep receiving corps.

The Eagles need to make moves with seven more players to reach the 53-man limit. They could go up until the 4 p.m. deadline while trying to trade more players, like they did with Barkley. Linebacker Najee Goode and running back Kenjon Barner are both on the trade block, according to a league sources.
