2. James Bradberry, Cornerback/Safety

James Bradberry's struggles have been documented quite a bit this offseason and while there were several predictions that he could lose his job, the Eagles weren't in any position to cut him. Perhaps they came up with the perfect solution though.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said they plan to move him to safety, which could be a brilliant move. With depth concerns at safety, Philly could be solving two problems at once — if it were to work out. Since Bradberry has been a corner his whole career, there will be some questions, but Sirianni is thinking big with this move.

"He was able to do a couple different things last year," Sirianni said about Bradberry via Martin Frank of Deleware Online. "He played the majority of his career at corner and then was able to do some things at the dime, some things at the nickel, some things at the corner. Now he's working some of the safety stuff. I'm excited about that, and his opportunity."

He then went on to liken Bradberry and Charles Woodson, which is a stretch at this point, but it could still be a positive move for him and the team. That is if he's able to make the switch successfully.

If not, there's almost no chance he stays on the roster with so many other options at cornerback.
