With the trade that sent linebacker Kiko Alonso to the Miami Dolphins, the Eagles had a need at the linebacker position. Today, they announced that they agreed to terms on a two-year deal with former Buffalo Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham.
The 26 year-old had a career season in 2014 with Buffalo, posting 104 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble.
Bradham’s numbers would drop in 2015, with just 59 tackles and one sack in 11 starts. He missed the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.
According to ESPN, Bradham expressed his interest in returning to the Bills, however a deal was not done. The opportunity to play in Philadelphia does give Bradham a chance to reunite with defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz who spent 2014 in Buffalo.
Stay tuned as we continue to track all the Eagles free-agency moves.
