6 Eagles Already on Thin Ice in Training Camp

2. James Bradberry, defensive back

I think we all know at this point that James Bradberry is on thin ice. He's on the hot seat. He's on the roster bubble. The writing is on the wall.

Whatever superlatives you want to use, they probably apply to James Bradberry. It's got to be tough for Bradberry to come to work every single day knowing that he's probably on his way out, but he seems to be handling things alright.

Bradberry is making a transition to the safety position, which we've seen successfully happen for a Vic Fangio player in recent years. Kareem Jackson made the switch from cornerback to safety when Fangio was in his first year as head coach of the Denver Broncos. Could Bradberry do the same?

"A lot of that is out of my control. As far as right now, I’m still under contract for two years. I’ve got one year guaranteed. So I try not to put too much thought into it. I tried to enjoy my time with my family. Of course, I was up here for OTAs for a little minute, just trying to do my part as far as whatever the coaches ask me to do. And that was it. I tried not to put too much thought into it honestly."

It's a very real possibility that James Bradberry is traded at some point before the start of the season. The Eagles are going to have to eat some dead money, but it might be best for the team and the player to get him a change of scenery.

Of course, they could also keep him around and have him as a "break in case of emergency" type of option in the secondary.
