The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will face off in Brazil during Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. The showdown will be historic for the NFL and football fans worldwide.
The Eagles and Packers are both hoping to improve on their 2023 seasons, which saw them make the playoffs but fall short of the Super Bowl. Could the two teams be doing business before the season even begins?
The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles Could Make Major Moves.
According to Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report, trading for James Bradberry would improve the Packers’ defense: One area of concern for the Packers heading into the season is cornerback depth.
They traded Rasul Douglas in the middle of last season, Eric Stokes and Jaire Alexander have both been sidelined by injuries, and Carrington Valentine may be the only young cornerback who has proven himself capable.
Adding another veteran to the mix wouldn’t be a bad idea.
One low-risk move would be to call up the Philadelphia Eagles and work out a deal to get James Bradberry. There’s no sugarcoating it, he was bad last season. He gave up 11 touchdowns and a passer rating of 114.3.
However, he’s still one season removed from giving up just two scores and a passer rating of 51.6. He put together a career year in his first season with the Eagles.
The Eagles have essentially moved on from him already this offseason. They drafted Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, giving them two young cornerback prospects who could bump Bradberry down the depth chart.
At this point, the Eagles should be glad to just get Bradberry off the roster and avoid paying his $1.2 million salary. Meanwhile, the Packers would be paying a low cost to get a player who might still have a good season or two in the tank.
