Andy guys: Dropping like flies.

With the trade of LeSean McCoy, and the releases of Trent Cole and Todd Herremans, let's take a look at the 2012 Week 1 roster to see how many survivors are left from the Andy Reid era:

Quarterbacks

  1. Michael Vick - Gone.
  2. Nick Foles - Rumored to be part of a trade package to secure former Oregon QB Marcus Mariota.
  3. Trent Edwards - Gone.

Running Backs

  1. LeSean McCoy - Gone.
  2. Dion Lewis - Gone.
  3. Bryce Brown - Gone.
  4. Chris Polk - Restricted free agent. Reportedly to be offered contract at the lowest RFA tender. Eagles can match any outside offers.

Fullbacks (What's a fullback?)

  1. Stanley Havili - Gone.

Wide Receivers

  1. DeSean Jackson - Gone.
  2. Jeremy Maclin - Set to become free agent on March 10th. No deal done yet to keep him in Philly.
  3. Jason Avant - Gone.
  4. Riley Cooper - Best blocking wide receiver in the history of the NFL. But seriously though, cheaper to keep than cut.
  5. Damaris Johnson - Gone.

Tight Ends

  1. Brent Celek - Chip's long lost son.
  2. Clay Harbor - Gone.

Offensive Linemen

  1. Jason Peters - Lock to be a part of the 2015 Eagles.
  2. Evan Mathis - Rumored to possibly be on the way out.
  3. Jason Kelce - Lock to be a part of the 2015 Eagles.
  4. Danny Watkins - Gone.
  5. Todd Herremans - Gone.
  6. King Dunlap - Gone.
  7. Demetress Bell - Gone.
  8. Dallas Reynolds - Gone.
  9. Dennis Kelly - Still with Eagles, although far from a sure thing to make the team in training camp.

Defensive Linemen

  1. Jason Babin - Gone.
  2. Cullen Jenkins - Gone.
  3. Derek Landri - Gone.
  4. Trent Cole - Gone.
  5. Mike Patterson - Gone.
  6. Brandon Graham - Will become a free agent March 10th. Highly unlikely to re-sign with Eagles.
  7. Fletcher Cox - Lock to be a part of the 2015 Eagles.
  8. Cedric Thornton - Lock to be a part of the 2015 Eagles.
  9. Darryl Tapp - Gone.
  10. Phillip Hunt - Gone.
  11. Vinny Curry - Still with team. Hasn't been rumored as a trade chip, but would make sense as one.

Linebackers

  1. Mychal Kendricks - Rumored to be part of a trade package to secure former Oregon QB Marcus Mariota.
  2. DeMeco Ryans - Thought to be a potential cap casualty, although the team may keep him if he agrees to a pay cut. Hard to keep both Ryans and Kendricks.
  3. Akeem Jordan - Gone.
  4. Jamar Chaney - Gone.
  5. Casey Matthews - Oregon.
  6. Brian Rolle - Gone.

Cornerbacks

  1. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - Gone.
  2. Nnamdi Asomugha - Eating lunch in a parking lot somewhere.
  3. Curtis Marsh - Gone.
  4. Brandon Hughes - Gone.
  5. Brandon Boykin - Still with team. Probably (and understandably) unhappy with his role.
  6. Trevard Lindley - Gone.

Safeties

  1. Nate Allen - Set to become a free agent March 10th. Unlikely to return, but who knows?
  2. Kurt Coleman - Gone.
  3. David Sims - Gone.
  4. Jaiquawn Jarrett - Gone.
  5. Colt Anderson - Gone.

Specialists

  1. Alex Henery - Gone.
  2. Chas Henry - Gone.
  3. Jon Dorenbos - Still with team.

By my count, that's 36 players on the 2012 Week 1 roster who are goners. Let's start keeping track of how many Eagles who played under Andy Reid get whacked this offseason, shall we?
