Philadelphia agreed to a deal with former Giants cornerback James Bradberry on Wednesday, and with New York in need of depth at cornerback, the team signed a former Eagles cornerback to the roster.
Ralph Vacchiano is reporting that the Giants signed former Philadelphia cornerback Michael Jacquet to the roster after waiving defensive tackle Antonio Valentino.
The 25-year-old Jacquet originally signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Louisiana in 2020.
In eight career games (two starts with the Eagles), Jacquet logged 18 tackles and earned a PFF grade of 60.0 in 2021 and a PFF grade of 46.2 as a rookie in 2020.

Jacquet joins the Jags’ practice squad with two starts (seven overall appearances), 12 tackles, a forced fumble, and three pass breakups to his name.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made some practice squad transactions to start the week and added Michael Jacquet to their practice squad. The decision came as the team placed practice squad cornerback Lorenzo Burns on the practice squad injured reserve, giving them the room to add another player to the unit.

Jacquet is currently in his second season in the NFL. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2020 for the Philadelphia Eagles and spent the opening two seasons of his career there. Jacquet was able to see the field as a rookie, playing in seven games and starting in two. In the process, he was able to register 12 tackles (one of which was a sack), a forced fumble, and three pass breakups.
Before entering the league, Jacquet attended Louisiana at Lafayette. He was able to accumulate four picks and 18 pass breakups while playing for the university for four seasons.

Philadelphia Eagles sign CB Michael Jacquet to the practice squad

Michael Jacquet is returning to the NovaCare Complex, signing to the Eagles 16-player practice squad.
A physical, crafty cornerback, Jacquet is a 2020 undrafted free agent out of Lousiana at Lafayette, who was elevated to the active roster on October 31 and November 14 for the team’s weeks 8 and 10 games against the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants last season.
Jacquet is familiar with the Eagles system and would be an obvious call-up.

As the Eagles work to get down to the 53 man roster limit, cornerback Michael Jacquet is the latest player to be placed on waivers.
A 2020 undrafted free agent out of Lousiana at Lafayette, Jacquet was elevated to the active roster on October 31 and November 14 for the team’s weeks 8 and 10 games against the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, and reverted to the practice squad after each game.
Jacquet could be a candidate for the practice squad.

Eagles roster: Predicting the 16-man practice squad for 2021 as the roster cutdown deadline approaches
The Eagles are a little over 24-hours away from having to cut their roster down to 53 players before the 4:00 p.m. deadline on Tuesday.
Following the final round of cuts, GM Howie Roseman will start the process of assembling his 16-player practice squad, which can now include up to six players with more than two accrued seasons.
Here’s our prediction for the Eagles practice squad ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
Eagles cornerback depth chart gets a big boost with the addition of Steven Nelson
The Eagles added another quality veteran to the roster, signing cornerback Steven Nelson to a one-year deal.
With Nelson in the fold, a perceived weakness will now become a strength heading into the training camp. Philadelphia is still somewhat thin at cornerback from a quality standpoint, but the overall talent of the secondary rose tremendously.
Cementing his reputation with the Steelers, Nelson started all 30 games he played, logging three interceptions, 17 passes defended, and 109 total tackles.
Last season during Pittsburgh’s 38-29 win on October 11 at Heinz Field, Nelson intercepted then Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz twice, on his way to his first multi-interception game.
An aggressive, physical, and smart football player, Nelson should help boost the Eagles’ secondary while giving Gannon a building block for the future.
