Will be released The Eagles plan to release Jeffery when the new league year begins March 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Jeffery's imminent release doesn't come as any sort of surprise, given that the soon-to-be 32-year-old carries a $14 million cap hit for 2021. He only suited up for seven games during an injury-riddled 2020 campaign, securing six catches for 115 yards and one touchdown, the lowest totals of his career. Jeffery hasn't put up a 1,000-yard season since 2014, and he's now logged back-to-back years with under 500 receiving yards. With plenty of big-name wideouts scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, Jeffrey seems unlikely to encounter a bidding war for his services.

Eagles face difficult decision regarding Carson Wentz
The Philadelphia Eagles enter the offseason facing a major question they didn’t expect to have to answer this quicklyJANUARY 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sitting out Week 17 Jeffery (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Washington.
Impact Jeffery's season debut was delayed until Week 10 due to a combination of offseason foot surgery and a calf issue that he sustained while working his way back to full health. Overall, he managed to haul in just six of 13 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in seven appearances during his age-30 season. Jeffery turns 31 in February, but because he's owed $18.5 million in 2021, it'll be difficult for the Eagles to move on.

Scores first TD of 2020 Jeffery caught his only target for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Saints.
Impact With Carson Wentz replaced by rookie Jalen Hurts under center, Jeffery looked like he might be headed for a big game when he produced the game's first points with his first TD of the season early in the second quarter. Unfortunately for the veteran wideout, Hurts didn't look his way again and wound up completing only 17 passes in total on the afternoon. Jeffery has only three catches for 30 yards on nine targets in five games since rejoining the lineup, and it doesn't appear as though the switch at QB will improve his outlook heading into Week 15's road clash with the Cardinals.

Practicing in full Jeffery (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Jeffrey was limited in practice Wednesday, when coach Doug Pederson declined to commit to his availability for Week 14, but barring any setbacks it looks like the veteran wideout is on track to play. His involvement in Philadelphia's offense has been trending upward, but with only two catches over the last four weeks, it'll be difficult to trust Jeffery for fantasy purposes during Sunday's home matchup against the Saints.

Back on injury report Jeffery (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Jeffery handled a season-high 56 percent of offensive snaps during last weekend's loss to the Packers, but he failed to secure his lone target. Coach Doug Pederson said that the veteran wideout is "sore" and refused to commit to his Week 14 availability, per, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal, so for the time being Jeffrey's status looks truly murky. If he does suit up, he'll face the challenge of quickly establishing chemistry with rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts.
