The signing is a significant development for the Eagles secondary, which entered the offseason in flux with starting safeties C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps as well as Bradberry all hitting the open market. The Eagles also gave veteran cornerback Darius Slay permission to seek a trade partner after contract restructuring talks went south.
Bradberry signed with the Eagles last offseason on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million after the Giants released him as a cap casualty late in the free-agency process. He viewed the short-term contract as an opportunity to prove his worth and cash in for a lucrative contract and had one of the best years of his career with the Eagles en route to Super Bowl LVII.
