Report: Eagles want Vinny Curry to restructure deal, could trade or release DE
The Philadelphia Eagles may end up keeping defensive end Vinny Curry on their roster in 2018, but it sounds like it would have to be under a new contract.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported on Sunday that the Eagles are expected to release Curry, but he later amended the report to note that the team could keep the veteran on a restructured deal. The Eagles could also attempt to trade Curry.
The only caveat is the #Eagles are attempting to restructure and redo his deal. If that happens he could stay… will take a lot of work. https://t.co/O5EcFTgcAY

Update on the #Eagles and DE Vinny Curry after talking with a team official: They are currently in negotiations to try to keep Vinny Curry at a different salary. Teams are also interested in potential trading for him. It sounds like nothing is quite done yet.

The Eagles have a loaded defensive line with Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham and Derek Barnett, so they already have a lot of money committed to the position. Curry, a former second-round pick, is just 29, so you can understand why Philly would rather find a way to keep him.
