In a move that could make Philadelphia the favorites in the NFC East, Howie Roseman has landed James Bradberry on a one-year deal.
The Eagles had a need at the cornerback position opposite Darius Slay and one of the NFC East’s top cover guys is now in Philadelphia.
The Giants had previously released the Pro Bowl cornerback, saving almost $12 million in salary cap space.
In 2020, the first year of the deal with New York, Bradberry logged three interceptions, and 18 pass deflections, and made the Pro Bowl after being rated as the sixth highest-graded cornerback in football.
Last season, Bradberry took a step back as Pro Football Focus had him graded as the sixth-best cornerback in the league that year.
In 2021, Bradberry had 17 passes defended and a career-high four interceptions, but his play was deemed to have fallen off after he landed a grade outside the top-50.
Now paired with Slay, Philadelphia can bring their young cornerbacks along slowly, while making Jonathan Gannon’s versatile defense that more explosive.
Even more important, Bradberry will have a chance to match up with the Giants twice, and he’s familiar with everyone on the Eagles roster.
