Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradbury has signed a one-year, $ 10 million contract.
He will line up against Darius Slay, giving Philadelphia a strong pairing in position.
Bradberry will earn $ 7.25 million in guaranteed money, less than the $ 13.4 million it set for the New York Giants.
Unfortunately, former Giants general manager Dave Gattleman’s cap mismanagement forced the Giants to leave Bradbury after failing to find a trading partner.
It was impossible to find a receiver for the 28-year-old defensive back, especially since most teams have met their requirements in position through the 2022 NFL Draft.
But while Bradberry is already with the Eagles, the Giants are still working on some dead cap money.
The Giants have a big dead cap hit to play James Bradbury for the Eagles ($ 11.7M)
Thanks to Dave Gateman for what https://t.co/FiyHULUw2S did

NBC Sports’ Warren Sharp tweeted, “The Giants have a big dead cap hit ($ 11.7M) for the Eagles to play James Bradbury, the Eagles are actually paying him ($ 10M). Thanks for what Dave Gettleman has done.”
Worst still, the Giants are swimming ডে 32.4 million worth of Dead Money.
In addition to Bradberry’s $ 11.7 million, ল 11.4 million has been calculated for Safety Logan Ryan even if he already lives with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Calculations for Net Solder are 4 million and Kyle Rudolph is $ 2.4 million.
Gettleman’s mistake
Saccon Berkeley looked like an expert to him after a strong start to his NFL career.
Unfortunately, he did not become the same player after the ACL injury.
It’s a gamble that draws a draft back early, especially if the offensive line isn’t tough.
Similarly, Gettleman made another mistake last season with a four-year, $ 72 million contract with Kenny Gollade.
After being 1,190 yards with the Detroit Lions in 2019, Gollade had just 521 yards and zero touchdowns with the Giants.
Meanwhile, Kadarias Tony has finished his rookie season with 420 yards and zero touchdowns.
If these players do not improve, the devastating imprint of Gettleman will be felt for some time.
