The Facts: Jeffery is almost certain to start training camp on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list. He can come off of PUP at any time during training camp, but must remain on PUP for at least six weeks if he is still on it at the start of the regular season.
Diehards Line:
Remember, Jeffery suffered a Lisfranc injury in December, had surgery, and the typical nine-month recovery period put him on track to maybe be healthy for Week 1, though that's only if all goes well. According to Philly Voice staffer Jimmy Kempski, if the Eagles could have cut Jeffery without penalty, he would already be gone. However, as a result of the re-done contract, Jeffery's release would have come with an approximately $26 million dead money charge, spread over 2020 and 2021. If they traded him, that dead money charge would "only" be about $16 million. To note, they would trade him for literally anything to save that $10 million in cash. Any team trading for Jeffery would be acquiring a slow, recently injured receiver. He would count for $9,910,000 on any acquiring team's cap, but more importantly, he would deplete $9,910,000 of that team's cash. So expect him to remain an Eagle. And to start training camp on PUP. After that, it's an open question.
