The priority move for Philadelphia this offseason, in my eyes, was the Nigel Bradham re-sign. Unquestionably their weakest defensive position in 2017, the linebacking corps entered a two-year period of flux, as Bradham hit free agency, MLB Jordan Hicks’ rookies contract expires next year, and WLB Mychal Kendricks will finally have a cutable contract in 2019 (if he’s not traded before then).
But despite the need, Bradham and Philly were in a tricky spot after the Timmy Jernigan and Alshon Jeffery extensions mid-season. Almost 30 and of questionable value outside of Schwartz’s system, Bradham’s market was also difficult to predict.
