The Eagles CB James Bradberry is disappointed despite signing a $38 million deal with the team. This week, the NFL released the annual list of the top 100 players in the league. Many top-notch players made it to the list including the Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith and the cornerback Darius Slay.
However, Bradberry wasn’t among the top 100 players on the list. He recently talked about this matter and shared his disappointment for not being added to the top 100 players list and shared his thoughts for the upcoming season.
James Bradberry was disappointed after failing to make NFL’s Top 100 list
James Bradberry was an exceptional player last season. He finished with two interceptions, and 57 tackles, and got a quarterback rating of 51.8. Despite an incredible season, the CB still couldn’t make it to the top 100 list of the league. He is ranked as the 107th player.
The ranking was shocking for Bradberry himself who didn’t let it slide away. He recently talked about this matter sharing that he had confidence that he’ll make it to the list but was disappointed to find out he didn’t.
“I thought I was going to be on there a little higher, but it is what it is because I didn’t make the list,” Bradberry said.
However, the CB is still confident for the upcoming season. He shared that he doesn’t play for accolades but rather to win games which he’ll keep on doing.
“At the end of the day, I don’t play for those accolades or to be on that top 100 list. I play for wins, and I’ll be my best when I’m on the field.”
James Bradberry’s $38M contract details with the Eagles
This offseason, James Bradberry was one of the top three free-agent cornerbacks. Many teams in the league wanted to add this talent to their roster. However, the CB surprised everyone by re-signing with the Eagles.
He has signed a three-year, $38 million contract. In this deal, he’ll get $20 million guaranteed money. The CB shared that the reason why he joined Eagles again was because he will be comfortable with the team.
Although James Bradberry couldn’t make it to the top 100 players list this year, he has a new chance to prove where he belongs. As the CB of the Eagles, he will be returning to the field, and with his exceptional performance, he can make sure that next time he gets a higher rank.
