Defensive end Jason Babin has been released by the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced Tuesday.
The former first-round draft pick out of Western Michigan has struggled this season and has seen his playing time cut in recent games. He has 5.5 sacks and 26 tackles on the season. Babin, 32, had an All-Pro season in 2011, recording 18 sacks.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection signed a five-year deal with the Eagles in 2011.
"We appreciate everything that Jason has given this team over the last couple of years," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "We wish him all the best as he continues his career. By releasing him today, this gives us an opportunity to give more playing time to some of younger guys in the defensive line rotation."

Reid is panicking, and trying to possibly start fresh. Too late, though.

Wow.. thats quite the release. You wouldn't catch me just flat out releasing the guy.. I would have waited until the offseason and tried to at the very least trade him. Likely could have gotten something.
I would say if they are releasing him at this point in the season there is more going on than meets the eye. I would assume he has been a disruption in the locker room and likely isn't getting along with other players and coaches.
