PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles have released cornerback Cary Williams, according to multiple sources.
Williams would have cost the Eagles $6.5 million against the salary cap, according to salary records of the NFLPA. A free agent in 2013, he signed a three-year, $17 million deal.
His departure will ensure at least one open space in the Eagles' defensive backfield, though corner Bradley Fletcher and safety Nate Allen are both set to try the free agency market, leaving safety Malcolm Jenkins the only man under contract for Philadelphia in the deep part of the field.
Williams started every game of the past two seasons (32), notching 126 tackles and 5 interceptions on over 1,100 snaps, in a six-year career recording 306 tackles and 9 picks.
