Assuming the Eagles want to bring back any of the following players in 2014, it is possible some will have to rework their contracts (read: take a pay cut) if they would like to return. Linebacker Trent Cole once seemed destined to be jettisoned, but he had a strong second half. He is 31 and scheduled to make $5 million next season. Guard Todd Herremans, like Cole at a new position, improved as the season progressed. His $3 million salary and cap number ($3.6 million) aren't outrageous. Brent Celek's receiving numbers dropped and Zach Ertz certainly will get more snaps next year, but he was the team's best blocking tight end. He is slated to make $4 million. Jason Avant would be an invaluable member of any team, but his production dipped. He was more of a blocker than receiver by season's end. DeMeco Ryans' 2014 salary is a hefty $6.8 million. The linebacker is the defensive leader and a solid run stopper, but he was a liability in pass coverage. Left tackle Jason Peters returned from a ruptured Achilles tendon and was named an all-pro. He stands to make $9.65 million in the last year of his contract, and the Eagles may be open to lowering that number and extending his deal.
