Last offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles signed linebacker Nigel Bradham to a two-year, $7 million contract. Despite a pair of off-field incidents, Bradham has been a fine addition to the Eagles’ defense.
In 2016, he started all 16 games and registered 102 combined tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, five pass deflections and an interception.
According to Pro Football Focus, Bradham was the second most improved linebacker in the NFL last season behind Perry Riley of the Oakland Raiders (soon to be the Las Vegas Raiders).
