    Could Eagles' James Bradberry Be Traded to Minnesota?

    By Wil Riggs,

    Last season, the Philadelphia Eagles secondary gave up the second most passing yards in the league finishing just in front of the Washington Commanders.

    Pro-Bowl corner James Bradberry had a significant step down from his 2022 season leading the team to make wholesale changes through free-agency and the draft to shore up the pass defense.

    With Darius Slay already holding down one side of the field, the Eagles spent their first two draft picks on corners Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean while adding safety C.J. Gardner-Anderson back to the squad.

    During the offseason, Bradberry suggested to coaches to let him work his way into a position change to safety. He has done well, however, another corner turned safety Avonte Maddox has also played well.

    CBS Sports recently released an article naming Bradberry as a potential cut or trade candidate with Minnesota being the top landing spot.

    "The former All-Pro was a hit for the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl-contending secondary in 2022, only to fall off a cliff as a perimeter cover man a year later," CBS Sports writes . "Since then, Bradberry has taken a switch to safety in stride and suddenly feels like a decent bet to crack the Birds' lineup as veteran insurance on the back end.

    "Still, if the Eagles find themselves a taker in exchange for depth at another position, they'd probably consider it after injecting youth into the secondary via the draft. Potential fits: (Arizona Cardinals), (Las Vegas Raiders), (and) Vikings."

    Bradberry’s stock has risen in recent weeks, but is it enough to remain on the Eagles’ roster? With Maddox playing well, and the rookies working their way into the lineup, Bradberry could be on his way out.
