What It Means:

Following years of success as a 3-4 outside linebacker, Barwin struggled as a defensive end in Jim Schwartz's 4-3 scheme last season. Barwin is due $7.75 million in 2017 and has already said he'd be willing to take a pay cut to stay in Philly. The Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens are 3-4 teams that could be interested in Barwin.

Despite Barwin's personal struggles, the Eagles defense finished fifth in the NFL this past season in opponent-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points allowed per play.
