As it stands, only three teams have less 2017 cap space than the Eagles, according to Spotrac.com. Kelce, who will turn 30 in November, will count for $6.2 million against the cap.

However, if the Eagles decide to release the 2014 Pro Bowler, they will save $3.8 million. The Eagles would save $6 million if they decided to wait until after the 2017 season to release him.

2016 third-round pick Isaac Seumalo started four games last season and could be the replacement for Kelce.
Connor Barwin, another respected longtime Eagle with a substantial cap hit, is willing to take a paycut to stay in Philadelphia. Maybe Kelce is willing to do the same.
