The Eagles are moving on from a key member of the offensive line from their Super Bowl run last year.

Monday, the Eagles opted to decline Stefen Wisniewski’s option for 2019, making him an unrestricted free agent, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Wisniewski was the Eagles’ starter at left guard during the 2017 season and ensuing Super Bowl run, but lost out on his starting job early in the 2018 season when he was overtaken by Isaac Seumalo.

Wisniewski publicly expressed his discontentment with the Eagles’ decision to bench him.

Per Garafolo, the Jets are among the teams that are interested in signing Wisniewski as a free agent. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as the Jets have needs along the offensive line and Wisniewski has significant starting experience as both a center and guard.

The Eagles save $3 million by moving on from Wisniewski.

Here are a few thoughts about the Eagles moving on from Wisniewski

1. He was doomed once he started complaining: Wisniewski was a solid lineman for the Eagles, but he wasn’t off to a great start in 2018 when he was benched for Seumalo, who out-played him the rest of the way. Wisniewski telling reporters — and tweeting similarly — that he had “theories” as to why he was being benched was the first sign that he wasn’t long for the Eagles. The Eagles drew a clear line in the sand when they decided to sign Seumalo to an extension earlier this offseason.

2. What it means for Brandon Brooks: The Pro Bowl offensive lineman injured his Achilles in the Eagles’ last game, a playoff loss to the Saints. His status for the season is unclear, though he did just get his boot off on Monday. Perhaps the Eagles moving on from Wisniewski is a sign that Brooks might be ready sooner than expected.

3. Eagles need to sign someone else: With Wisniewski gone, the Eagles have a severe lack of depth on the interior of the offensive line. The only player set to return from last season is Matt Pryor, who already came into the NFL as a right tackle last year. The Eagles will likely sign a veteran of some sort if free agency, and possibly draft an interior offensive lineman as well.
