Howie Roseman has had an amazing 2022 NFL offseason and his dominant spring continued after he inked former Giants cornerback James Bradberry to a one-year deal worth $10 million in incentives.
The details can be found in the numbers and Roseman ensured that Philadelphia won’t suffer if Bradberry falls off a cliff performance-wise, while giving the Eagles plenty of cap relief going forward to make future moves with the season opener looming.
ESPN’s Field Yates has the true numbers, and the Giants will have a large dead cap hit than the Eagles will pay in total salary.
In typical Eagles form, James Bradberry’s deal includes four voidable years.
Signing bonus: $6.215M
Base salary: $1.035M
Incentives: Up to $2.5MBradberry carries a cap charge of just $2.278M for 2022 via this deal.

Giants GM Joe Schoen released Bradberry earlier this month, as the former Pro Bowl cornerback had a cap number of $21,863,889 which was just too much for the organization to carry.
New York saved $10,136,111 in salary cap space with the move but will shoulder the burden of $11,727,778 in dead cap, $9 million more than Philadelphia will pay in 2022.
Bradberry and new Eagles teammate Darius Slay are the only cornerbacks in the NFL with 80 passes defended since 2016.
