As Nigel Bradham held court in the NovaCare Center auditorium Thursday afternoon, his five-year contract extension with the Eagles now official, his 3-year-old son, Nazir, bopped back and forth in one of the aisles at the center of the room.
Just as Bradham finished off some opening remarks, speaking of how grateful he was to return to a locker room full of friends and teammates with whom he had won a Super Bowl, Nazir let out a little “Woo!” as if he were offering a note of reaffirmation for his father. It was an appropriate note. Nazir’s dad had much to be thankful for – most of all, the opportunity to stand there, still, as a member of the Eagles.
