The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing defensive end Vinny Curry, the team confirmed Friday.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network was the first to report the story.
Curry and the team were unable to come to an agreement on a pay cut. Garafolo adds that $5 million of Curry's $9-million base salary for 2018 would have become guaranteed on Sunday.
