Perfect addition....the EXACT spot that they could use a guy, he fills that spot 

What spot is that? The bench? 

 

Not sure why everyone is so high on this resigning if it happens? I'd like some of our younger guys on the team to have a chance like Vosean Joseph. 

 

With that said. I just looked at his twitter and his background is all Eagles stuff. My guess is the Eagles re-signed him.

The guy has started 83 games, is 29, and won a super bowl. That feels like a GREAT addition when you’re depending on AJ Klein, Tyler Matakevich and Vosean Joseaph. Today, Bradham is a better player than all of those guys. There’s absolutely ZERO reason to be opposed to him on a cheap deal.

I think Klein would play ahead of him at SLB and Bradham would just be a valuable depth piece.

matakevich shouldn’t even be considered part of the LB group. He’s pure ST and that’s what he was in Pittsburgh. Not sure he’s ever played more than a handful of snaps at LB.

He would be a really good add.

 

I would allow this.

A Bradham addition would be analogous to a player like Leonard Smith back in the Super Bowl era. A pain bringer.

Klein is just a guy. I watched him in New Orleans. He’s not bad but Bradham is a better player IMO. Either way, having them both is better than just 1.

They really really need depth there. At least bring him into camp and let him compete. We have yet to see if vosean can play to the level of bradham, and Klein will be a good system fit but I’m not overly excited about him as an athlete.

Klein is better imo and would be ahead on depth chart

 

agree that Bradham would be a great addition

Probably because they were already in a world of hurt WRT the cap next year, before talk of lowering the cap because of COVID.


I was listening to the End Zone and they basically said this morning based on the $175 mil. Floor, next year Philly will be $75 mil. over the cap.  No way they can restructure convert to bonus out of this one.  They will have to make some big time cuts.  I’ve asked before, but I wonder who might be shaken loose, we would have an interest.  Our defense is so solid, I don’t know if there is anyone there at the right cost, but it’s more of what offensive players we might want.  Their WR’s are not exactly world beaters, they’d never let go Wentz, so not sure if they had an offensive lineman we could use.  We’re probably solid at almost every position except for TEs.  Maybe we could go for Zack Ertz, or Dallas Goedert as they are pretty good, and that is one area we could add to the TE squad.  Next year, you can expect Kroft and Smith are gone, so one of these guys could help, but then again we also have a deep TE class next year in the draft.

Is this really happening or are we discussing fake news? 

The question mark in the title indicates that we don’t know. There is no news to be considered fake, it’s speculation based off some tweets that were out there last night

Most every player movement rumor starts as a W.A.G. by some reporter, it’s how they stay employed, the general public just loves that stuff and soaks it up like a sponge,  We should just call it what it is, 

“the latest from the rumor mill” 

 

Go Bills!!!

Not sure why he wasn’t already added unless he wants more money that we want to pay him.  Our LB depth is pathetic.  Really hope we make this happen although I don’t think his tweet is about rejoining the Bills

Nigel claiming Done Deal

 

 

 

Actually it looks like Primetime Don is using Nigel's "Everything comes full circle " as claiming" done deal". It was posted yesterday and still nothing on a Google search.  Hmmmm

 

Full circle? Coaching at FSU? Back with the Bills or Eagles?

 

Everything is a circle. It's just so hard to see.

On paper it seems like a good signing.  I really wonder how much he has left.   He wasn’t that good last year in Philly.  Also if they do sign him, Bradshaw doesn’t play special teams, so he’s far from a lock to make the roster

His play has been declining recently.  Sure, sign him and bring him to training camp, but let's not fool ourselves that he's the same guy who left.

He played last season with a torn labrum in his shoulder...kinda like the injury Cornelius Bennett had his last year in Buffalo. With a torn labrum, it is impossible to raise your arm above your shoulder.  I am not a pro football player, but I have suffered the same injury...I think you have to really love the game, and be tough as nails to play with that kind of an injury.  If it is healed, I think he is a great idea for the Bills. Our LB depth is still pretty thin, and he has the toughness (it appears) that McDermott values. As a nine year vet, at the minimum, he would be a steal. Sign him to a one year deal.  He has been a FA since March 3rd, and given the strangeness of this off-season, I would imagine he is anxious to sign somewhere sooner than later.
