. . Nigel Bradham. 2. player. 54.

What if Nigel Bradham came back to the Eagles and at a discount? It could happen. See what happened last season with Timmy Jernigan if you need any evidence. ‘Birds’ fans are funny though. They complain of missed tackles but failed to realize that Bradham was just as prone to missed tackles as guys they complained about more often.

He’s solid though and Philly trusts him, but you also can’t ignore that they just signed Jatavis Brown rather than bring Bradham back

player. 31. . . . Markus Golden. 1

It was hard to find a guy to put at the top of this list of ignored guys and castoffs, but somebody has to be chosen. Why not Markus Golden? He tore his ACL in 2017, didn’t look as though he was completely healed in 2018, but came on strong in 2019. 72 tackles and ten sacks are nothing to sneeze at in any season of professional football from any player at any position.

Conclusion: What have we learned from this list if you’re an Eagles fan? Unless they’re bringing back Nigel Bradham for less money, the best option is to just draft a few guys.
