Philadelphia Eagles’ cornerback depth chart gets big boost with addition of James Bradberry

The Eagles may have finally solidified the cornerback position after agreeing to a deal with veteran cornerback James Bradberry on a one-year contract.

Bradberry, 28, was a Pro Bowler and one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks, but the Giants released him earlier this month for cap purposes.

Bradberry’s contract is worth up to $10 million with incentives, according to Adam Schefter.

Pairing Bradberry, with Darius Slay and Avonte Maddox, now gives Philadelphia starting unit that’s not at a disadvantage in any matchup and it greatly increases the depth in the secondary.
