1. Philadelphia Eagles CB James Bradberry
Last but not least, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry tops our list and that’s not a surprise whatsoever. Things couldn’t have gone worse for the Giants and Bradberry this offseason, as general manager Joe Schoen tried to trade the talented defensive back, but things fell through there.
Then, Bradberry signed with the Eagles after NY cut him. Seriously, Philadelphia? The team gave him a one-year, $10 million deal and Bradberry jumped at the chance to play with Darius Slay. Bradberry didn’t come out and make it obvious, but it’s clear he has revenge on his mind after how things played out with New York.
Bradberry wasn’t happy with the way Schoen treated his release, which also isn’t stunning here. By the time Bradberry was let go, most of the teams around the league had already made all the moves they had in mind. That didn’t stop double-digit squads from showing interest, but he ended up picking Philly. With this, it will make the Giants-Eagles matchups even more eye-opening.
Bradberry had multiple options, but the fact that he signed with one of New York’s biggest rivals really tells you something. Plenty of fans have called him out for his decision and they’ve also labeled him an enemy now that he’s over in Philly. When Bradberry makes his return to East Rutherford, he can fully expect plenty of boos to be sent his way.
