James Bradberry

The Giants cut cornerback James Bradberry this month, but they'll be seeing him a couple of times during the 2022 season.

Adding a corner like Bradberry to the defense should be a big boost to that bid. Bradberry was set to make a $13.4 million salary before being released. According to multiple reports, it is a $10 million deal for Bradberry in Philadelphia but there’s no word on how much of that might be in incentives rather than base salary.

The former New York Giants cornerback isn't coming to Washington.

For Bradberry, it's another fresh start after establishing himself as a top cornerback during his time with the Carolina Panthers before parlaying that value into a three-year, $45 million deal with the Giants in 2020. The addition of Bradberry checks another box on what's been a promising offseason for general manager Howie Roseman, who also signed linebacker Haason Reddick in free agency before striking a blockbuster deal with the Tennessee Titans to acquire wideout A.J. Brown during the draft. The Pro Bowl cornerback was placed on the trade block heading into the 2022 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, but after weeks of shopping him to no avail, the club opted to instead release him outright on May 9.

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. 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 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.

The Philadelphia Eagles emerged as the winners for the chance to sign free agent cornerback James Bradberry.

The Chiefs were rumored as favorites to land Bradberry in either a trade or after he was released, but K.C. has been quite busy rebuilding their secondary without making such a move for a veteran. They drafted Trent McDuffie after trading up in the first round and added three more cornerbacks on Day 3 of the draft. For several weeks, Bradberry has been a popular name linked with teams around the NFL that needed help at cornerback, a list including the Eagles and Chiefs among others.

He spent the last two years in New York, but, when a trade never materialized with any team, was released so the Giants could free up salary cap space in order to sign their draft picks, including two top-10 picks in Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal. He had a career-high four picks last year with the Giants. He will start and have the opportunity to parlay his one-year deal into something better in the next offseason. The running back signed a one-year deal on May 17, 2017. Steve Nelson did exactly that. The youth on the roster will now have to battle to be one of the top reserves behind Slay and Bradberry, because Bradberry clearly isn’t being brought in to fight for a job.

The Eagles have agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with former Giants cornerback James Bradberry.

A second-round draft pick in 2016, Bradberry began his NFL career with the Panthers before joining the Giants in 2020 on a three-year, $45 million deal. Bradberry was released by the Giants this month after the team failed to find a trade partner leading up to April’s 2022 NFL Draft. Though new general manager Joe Schoen had sung Bradberry’s praises, the Pro Bowler carried a $21.9 million salary-cap charge for 2022. The Eagles have agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with former Giants cornerback James Bradberry, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday.

“So I’m looking forward to it.” “I know he’s got great ability and I feel like we’re going to compliment each other well.” “And I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

Him and Darius Slay -- who are now teammates in Philadelphia -- are the only cornerbacks with 80 passes defended since Bradberry's rookie season (2016). The New York Giants are taking steps toward rebuilding their roster, making tough salary cap decisions along the way. New York released Bradberry earlier this month, as the former Pro Bowl cornerback had a cap number of $21,863,889 remaining with the team.

Bradberry, 28, was the New York Giants' No. 1 cornerback last season, but the team released him for salary cap savings earlier this month.

Bradberry joins a long list of offseason additions, particularly on defense, who should position the Eagles to compete for another playoff berth next season. “He’s a really good player; he’s been proving he’s been a really good player in this league for a while. Bradberry was drafted by Carolina in the second round out of Samford in 2016. In zone coverage, he was much better, allowing a QBR of 76.5 and recording 11 of his 13 PBUs. Bradberry was one of the NFL’s best corners in 2020, recording 14 pass breakups and allowing just 44 catches on 78 targets. Teaming Bradberry, a Pro Bowler in 2020, with Darius Slay and Avonte Maddox will give the Eagles a formidable starting cornerback rotation with plenty of depth behind it.

PHILADELPHIA - The lip service was fun but any thought that the Eagles were going to blindly roll the dice on Zech McPhearson or Tay Gowan come September ...

He’s proven to be a really good player in this league for a while now so I’m really excited to meet him. Having a piece like that to this defense is a great addition.” I’m excited to work with him.” “We have all these good players and guys who have played a lot of good football," said Edwards, "but they have to come in and put it all together in the way we want it to look." “He’s a great player, and he’s been playing the game for a minute,” Maddox said of Bradberry. “He is smart, and he knows the game really well. The Eagles and GM Howie Roseman were able to keep Bradberry in the NFC East with a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with $7.25M of that guaranteed.

After weeks of advocation from fans and players alike, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially signed James Bradberry as their new CB2.

That’s exactly what the Philadelphia Eagles did by signing James Bradberry, and really, the only “loser” in this deal is the New York Giants, who lost their best cornerback due to a poor allocation of resources by their former general manager. You bet, even at 31, “Big Play” is still one of the best corners in the NFL today, but now, that spot will be filled by James Bradberry, who, like Slay, had a Pro Bowl on his resume. On Tuesday, the Eagles’ CB2 was clearly their weakest link and would have been targeted over and over again by savvy coaches calling in plays to savvy quarterbacks.

The former Pro Bowl corner is heading to Philadelphia on a one-year deal.

“I thought there would be more interest,“ Schoen said on WFAN Sports Radio. “There were some teams that showed interest pre-draft, and we had a couple different times there were compensation in place and the contract never worked out. Prior to his two seasons in New York, Bradberry spent the first four seasons of his career in Carolina after being drafted by the Panthers as a second-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft out of Samford. Being the fact that we did have good talks with the other teams and their agents had good talks with teams, sometimes if you’re going to renegotiate a contract and couldn’t come to an agreement, it is what it is.”
