The Philadelphia Eagles are parting ways with former Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Per reports, Bradberry will be designated as a post-June 1 release, saving the Eagles $2.1M on the salary cap.
Tuesday's news comes on the heels of reports that the Eagles are poised to release six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay in a cost-cutting move.
That move, also designated as a post-June 1 cut, would save the Eagles $4.3 million against their salary cap in 2025.
Bradberry, 31, spent the entire 2024 season on injured reserve as he recovered from a torn Achilles tendon.
'I was going into my ninth season, and you realize, look around the locker room, seeing all the young guys come in, that I've been around for quite a bit,' Bradberry told the Philadelphia Inquirer. 'So, one, you had to cherish that. The amount of time and the amount of stuff you've been able to accomplish.
'And, two, it just gave me a little hunger to get back out there and try to prove myself again.'
Bradberry was a second-team All-Pro and scored the top coverage grade under Pro Football Focus evaluations in 2022. He had his worst year in the NFL in 2023, however, giving up a career-high 11 touchdown passes and a 114.3 passer rating when targeted. He allowed two TD passes and a QB rating under 50 in 2022.
Bradberry has totaled 478 tackles, 19 interceptions, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 125 career games (124 starts) with the Carolina Panthers (2016-19), New York Giants (2020-21) and Eagles.
