Eagles are releasing veteran LB Nigel Bradham, who was just informed of Philadelphia’s decision, per source.

Another notable cut, with more ahead in next month.

Technically, the team declined his option for 2020. So he's not a free agent until March 18.
we'll see

while the Giants have lots of room to sign free agents and we fans believe they'll spend it, they've said they aren't going to be that aggressive in free agency. it that's true Bradham could be a nice short term get who wouldn't count against the comp pick formula

No more 30+ year old free agent signings. Stick to the rebuild and stay young.

Fuck that. If he can contribute bring him aboard. Do you not recall RW McQuarters, Sam Madison or Deon Grant? He would be an upgrade over Alec Ogletree in my estimation but what would I know, I’m just a fan.
Bradham with Connelly and Simmons

Is a nice LB group. Re-sign Mayo as depth and ST player.

Yes I recall those players being added to a contending roster. This team is t there yet, which is why I’d prefer money being delegated to younger players.
I think it comes down to position  
Giantsfan79 : 2/18/2020 3:09 pm : link
for those positions that require lots of running, FS, WR, TE, pass rusher I do believe the Giants should look at younger guys. But for the OL and inside linebacker I think going the cheaper vet route my be the best option. Bradham could fit as an ILB.
interesting  
mdc1 : 2/18/2020 3:11 pm : link
but let's move on....you get better by having guys that are better than than they guys the Eagles just cut ( better thread ).
If you can get him at a good price I would take him  
Rudy5757 : 2/18/2020 4:12 pm : link
I think he is an upgrade even though he had an off year. The Eagles overall had an off year. I would do an incentive 1-2 year deal, maybe he wants to get a shot at the Eagles twice a year.

I also think you have to consider that he's also prepped for Dallas and Washington twice a year too.

Well said man. Those players were vets others gave up on or we got for cheap who were huge players for us on super bowl teams. Excellent recall on your part. This is simple to me. Hes a good ILB and for a reasonable price you absolutely bring him on board. We only have x drat picks, can't rely on the draft. He can be a solid player for us. Maybe 2 years 8 million total 4 million guaranteed? Something like that, obviously we cut ogletree, hes better than ogletree.

I wish so badly that I trusted the GM. He should take his yellow stained teeth and get the fuck outta dodge. How does a guy who makes a million or whatever a year have stained teeth. Take a little pride in your appearance and maybe that's a little bit telling on him as a person? maybe not but I think it might be.
Gettlemen has been hit or miss, mainly miss and he should have absolutely been shit canned when we fired shurmur. Hes done a terrible job in free agency, a terrible job helping or approving shurmur's hires for the staff. The final straw was the fucking leonard williams trade. I could kill him for making that trade. How he gets to keep his job by throwing away the 68th pick in the draft I have no idea. We need that pick desperately. He still could have signed williams if he likes him so much in free agency and we could have used the wasted picks on offensive linemen. How does Mara approve that trade? How does he not walk out of the room and say no?

Sorry about the rant I can't help myself. My point is I do not trust gettlemen at all and who knows what that moron thinks about Bradham. Maybe he will sign him to 4 years 40 million. I pray that judge and staff have lots of input. Asswipe Gettlemen probably wants to sign Leonard Williams and draft another big Defensive lineman who is eh at stopping the run and who cant rush the passer with our first round pick.

I love the Beckham trade and his drafts at least haven't been tragic. the jury is still obviously out on the drafts. Not sure what anyone, including Eli's asshole buddy Mara see's in Gettlemen to warrant him keeping his job. It was the perfect time to fire him.

Better

Than any LB on the roster sans Connelly..
Bradham can play, and hes not that old.  
j_rud : 2/18/2020 6:46 pm : link
Can be a nice under the radar signing for someone. For comparison sake, and it makes me sick to post this, but Ogletree makes twice the money as Bradham based on yearly average salary. And is probably half the player.
