PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles released veteran cornerback Leodis McKelvin on Wednesday, the team announced.

McKelvin was set to make a base salary of $2 million with a roster bonus of $1.2 million in 2017. By cutting him, the Eagles gain $3.2 million in cap space.

The Eagles started the process of trying to free up resources by asking veteran left tackle Jason Peters to take a pay cut. They are expected to continue to free up money over the next four weeks before the start of free agency on March 9.

McKelvin, who played under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz in Buffalo, signed a two-year, $6.2 million deal last offseason. He established himself as the team’s top corner during the spring and summer but injured his hamstring early in the season and never fully rounded into form.

He appeared in 13 games and finished with two interceptions and 16 passes defensed.

Fellow starter Nolan Carroll is set to become a free agent, so it’s possible the Eagles will have two new outside corners in 2017.

The Chicago Bears are increasing their season-ticket prices for most sections of Soldier Field despite going 3-13, the worst record in franchise history for a 16-game season, the team announced Wednesday in letters to season-ticket holders.

Some sections will see a decrease in pricing, but most sections will see an increase of 1-4 percent. It’s the first increase since 2014.

“It was a challenging and disappointing season,” team president/CEO Ted Phillips said in the letter. “One we will not repeat. We shared in your frustration and do not take your passion and loyalty for granted. We are humbled by your dedication to the Bears and know we must be better.”

The Bears haven’t made the playoffs in nine of the past 10 years, but Phillips praised the work of general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox in changing the culture in the locker room and making the team younger over the last two years.

PITTSBURGH — Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown acknowledges that he plans to make changes in light of the Facebook Live incident after Pittsburgh’s playoff win in Kansas City.

Brown, whose broadcast of the team’s postgame locker room scene drew sharp criticism from coach Mike Tomlin, told Bleacher Report that such an incident won’t happen again.

“The big thing I learned is that I have some growing up to do, and I’m going to do it,” Brown told the website while making the media rounds at the Super Bowl in Houston. “I learned a lot from it and will keep learning. I’m going to rebuild the trust with my teammates and coaches. I promise you that.”

Brown called the incident a “dumb mistake” during the interview. A few weeks earlier, Tomlin labeled Brown’s actions selfish and inconsiderate and said he hoped his star player wouldn’t run himself out of town because of judgment lapses.

Brown struck a contrite chord shortly before the AFC title game against New England, apologizing for the distraction and owning up to his mistake in a news conference. The video caught Tomlin telling his Steelers they “spotted these a–h—- [the Patriots] a day and a half” in game prep. The Steelers lost 36-17 to the eventual Super Bowl champions.

Critics have cited the Facebook incident as the latest distraction from Brown, who has drawn multiple penalties for touchdown celebrations and is known to plead for the ball when it doesn’t come his way. But Brown is well-respected in the locker room; team president Art Rooney II says Brown is a “good person” and that he considers his antics minor.

Rumors have swirled about Brown’s future in Pittsburgh, although a source tells ESPN there’s optimism that both sides can reach a contract extension well before training camp. Brown, 28, has one year left on a contract that’s due to pay $4.71 million in base salary.

Teammate Maurkice Pouncey publicly defended Brown on social media last week, saying he’s tired of “all the hate, bulls— stories!! AB is a team player loved by all his teammates especially ME!”
