Instant analysis of the Eagles agreeing to a deal with CB James Bradberry
James Bradberry is back with the Eagles after agreeing to a three-year, $38 million deal free-agent deal.
Bradberry logged 44 tackles, three interceptions, and a pick-six in 2022 while betting on himself after signing a one-year deal following his release from the Giants.
The moves keep one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks in Philadelphia and depending on what happens with Darius Slay, the organization could maintain one of the league’s top duos.
Here’s an instant analysis and takeaways from the move.

James Bradberry: “I went back because of familiarity with the coaching staff, because I love the city and playing for the Eagles. They gave me a deal around what I was looking for. Yes, there were other teams that offered me more, but I feel like Philly fit me the best.” pic.twitter.com/j3LuZOMAoJ
