PFT – Longtime Eagles guard Todd Herremans is on the way out. Herremans will be released by the Eagles today, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports. The 32-year-old Herremans was a fourth-round draft pick of the Eagles in 2005 and has been a starter when healthy for all 10 of his seasons in Philadelphia. Last year he started the first eight games of the season before being placed on injured reserve with a biceps injury.

I mean, from a football standpoint, this isn’t a big deal. Herremans is 32, expensive and roughed up. They got by OK without him for most of last year and will find some fresh meat to insert at guard this season. But from an Eagles fan’s perspective it’s just sad. The dude’s been a staple on the OL forever. Not to mention he’s an overall great guy to have as a teammate and to represent the city of Philadelphia. Alas, dust in the wind.

Godspeed to The Toddfather. He shouldn’t be off the market for long.
