Eagles release Jason Babin

[jonathanlambert33]

Defensive end Jason Babin had 18 sacks for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. More sacks than anyone in the league but DeMarcus Ware and Jared Allen. He was a critical part of an Eagles pass rush that tied for the league lead in sacks and entered the 2012 season expecting to pressure opposing quarterbacks even more than it had last year.

But nothing has gone right for the Eagles this year, including the pass rush. And with the Eagles on a seven-game losing streak and 3-8 for the season, the team announced Tuesday afternoon that it has released Babin.

"We appreciate everything that Jason has given this team over the last couple of years," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a team news release. "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 the younger guys in the defensive line rotation."
