The Philadelphia Eagles will have high expectations this season. They will be Super Bowl contenders once again. Philadelphia has to win the division this season or it may get uneasy in the city of Brotherly Love.
Fans wanted head coach Nick Sirianni fired after last season’s collapse, but he stayed on for another year. Kellen Moore is the new offensive coordinator this season and Vic Fangio is the new defensive coordinator this season.
Having new coordinators will help the Philadelphia Eagles this season. They have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. They could have a Top 10 offense this season and the defense was horrendous toward the end of last season.
CBS Sports Controversial Question About the Philadelphia Is Will James Bradberry Be on the Roster by Training Camp
There is a reason why the Philadelphia Eagles drafted two defensive backs with the first two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. Quinyon Mitchell from Toledo was their first-round selection and Cooper DeJean from Iowa was their second-round selection. Both of those rookies should help improve the secondary this season.
CBS Sports Jeff Kerr questions whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles will keep James Bradberry on the roster to start NFL training camp. Kerr wrote:
“The Eagles will have a decision to make regarding Bradberry in the coming weeks, and his presence at mandatory minicamp could be an indicator on where things stand.
Bradberry is still on the roster, but the Eagles can designate him as a post-June 1 cut and not owe anything toward the salary cap. Bradberry’s contract would carry $4.305 million in dead cap, but the Eagles could just eat the money if the 31-year-old isn’t in the team’s plans to start in 2024. The dead cap can be spread out over two seasons.
Bradberry isn’t a special teamer, and would make too much to be a backup. If Bradberry isn’t starting, there’s no sense for the Eagles to have him on the roster with their cornerback group. Bradberry would also like his future settled sooner rather than later, so he can find other employment opportunities with another team.
The Eagles invested heavily in the cornerback position during the draft, drafting Quinyon Mitchell in the first round (No. 22 overall) and Cooper DeJean in the second (No. 40). Darius Slay is locked in at one of the starting spots, while Mitchell is certainly a candidate to start Day 1 on the outside. The Eagles also have Kelee Ringo, Eli Ricks, Josh Jobe and Isaiah Rodgers competing for that job, and Rodgers has stood out during the early portion of minicamp. Ringo and Jobe are also good special teams players.
Essentially, Bradberry has to start in order to have a future with the Eagles.”
James Bradberry has been linked to being traded to other teams throughout the course of the NFL offseason. On the current Philadelphia Eagles depth chart, James Bradberry is on the second unit for cornerback.
Darius Slay and rookie Quinyon Mitchell are projected to be the starting cornerbacks. It would be a surprise to see Bradberry on the Philadelphia Eagles roster come Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.
