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.
Salary rank
The $12.6 million per season average puts Bradberry among the top 15 at his position and is a fair deal for a veteran set to turn 30 years old.
Bradberry turned down more lucrative offers
Bradberry gave the Eagles an opportunity to match any final offer, and he did more than that, turning down more lucrative offers to stay with the Eagles.
