Alonso's teammate, Mychal Kendricks, is a strong candidate to be traded, according to Geoff Mosher of CSN Philadelphia.

Analysis:

After acquiring Alonso during the offseason, the Eagles have a glut of talent at inside linebacker, with the 2013 DROY runner-up joined by Mychal Kendricks and DeMeco Ryans. Kendricks and Alonso are both speedy three-down linebackers who excel in coverage, whereas Ryans is more of a run-stopper. Ryans' contract makes a trade unlikely, so Kendricks is the best bet to be moved. It's still quite possible the team could keep all three, in which case Kendricks and/or Alonso would likely lose some snaps to Ryans on early downs and near the goal line.
