I'm glad Salaam was here the last three years.

Chester has played T in the NFL before and many people on this board wanted him to play LT after Spencer went down. He is also a Veteran on this football team, so I would expect him to become more of a leader and mentor.

Salaam provided some invaluable service to this team in the lockerroom. I will not deny that. However, his play on the field will not be missed terribly. It was time to let him go for the good of the franchise.

If the Eagles can let a leader like Brian Dawkins walk out the door, we should be able to get by without Ephraim. I realize that there's a difference in salary, but the point is that leadership only has so much value.
