Eagles Re-Sign Nigel Bradham For 5 Years/$40 Million
Conventional wisdom was that the Eagles would lose Bradham this offseason. He would simply become too expensive. But somehow, some way, Howie is bringing Bradham back at a pretty fucking lucrative contract. I don’t know how Roseman is finagling all this cap space but it’s damn impressive.
Bradham was our best linebacker in the playoffs, and with Jordan Hicks propensity for injury, he proves to be our most important linebacker. He excels in coverage, meshes with Jim Schwartz and fits as seamlessly in our scheme as he does in the locker room.
Might this spell the end for Mychal Kendricks?
The money has to come from somewhere. Plus, yesterday’s relatively obscure signing of Corey Nelson might provide an answer at weak side linebacker.
Maybe he can be the starter? I’m not confident in that yet, nor am I confident in a talented Jordan Hicks staying healthy, but I am confident in Bradham, who is a stud and who is good to have in the fold.
