The sting of former NY Giants cornerback James Bradberry signing with the Eagles won’t be going away in the near future. Bradberry has voiced how displeased he was with the Giants releasing him so late in the offseason, while the NY fanbase has been calling him out on Twitter for joining the enemy.
For Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, he said he’s still got plenty of love for Bradberry and that he’s going to miss playing with him. At the same time, Jackson didn’t hold back in saying he’s also not too happy that Bradberry decided to make his way to Philly to suit up for the Eagles this upcoming season.
"That sucks... still wish him the best and wish him well regardless of everything that's going on."

Adoree Jackson said it ‘sucks’ James Bradberry signed with the Eagles
"“That sucks,” Jackson said on Bradberry inking with the Eagles. “You know, it’s like going to your rival. It’s like me and Darnay (Holmes) with USC and UCLA, but at the end of the day he’s still family. I still wish him the best and wish him well regardless of everything that’s going on.”"
Jackson’s feelings are shared by thousands of Giants fans. Shortly after Bradberry was released by general manager Joe Schoen, reports started to swirl that he could make his way over to Lincoln Financial Field. In the end, despite double-digit teams showing interest, Bradberry signed with the Eagles on a one-year, $10 million contract.
During his first press conference with the Philly media, Bradberry confirmed he wasn’t happy with how long it took Schoen and the Giants to release him. He also said that he understands this is a business and New York was simply trying to make the best decision for the organization. Still, he didn’t like it.
Tt feels like Bradberry has some revenge on his mind entering the 2022 campaign and he’ll surely be a little extra excited to take on the Giants Week 14 and Week 18, respectively. When Jackson and Bradberry take the field for those matchups, though, the NY defensive back won’t hesitate in going to his former old teammate to show him some love. When Bradberry returns to MetLife Stadium, however, there’s a strong chance he’ll receive countless boos from the stands.
