The Giants can't maintain James Bradberry on the books with a 2022 wage cap cost of $21.8 million. They could need to commerce away their greatest cornerback to achieve cap reduction. Here's a take a look at NFL outposts the place it is smart for Bradberry to land subsequent:
Raiders
Patrick Graham is the brand new defensive coordinator in Las Vegas, and he is aware of the worth Bradberry brings to a secondary primarily based on their two years along with the Giants. Trayvon Mullen is coming off an injury-filled season (5 video games performed) and assist is required within the defensive backfield. The Raiders are about $40 million beneath the cap.
Chargers
With $57.5 million in cap area — the second-highest whole within the league — the Chargers determine to be large spenders. Chris Harris might be a free agent and Asante Samuel Jr, a second-round choose in 2021, may use an skilled nook to lean on, and that may very well be Bradberry.
Ravens
The normally stingy protection in Baltimore didn't produce as much as its customary requirements. Buying and selling for Bradberry would permit the Ravens to half methods with Marcus Peters and usher in some new blood to the again finish of the protection. Plus, veteran Jimmy Smith is about to hit the open market.
Bengals
Regardless of the magnificent run to the Tremendous Bowl, the protection in Cincinnati allowed the seventh-most passing yards within the NFL final season. Three of the highest corners — Eli Apple, Vernon Hargreaves III and Tre Flowers — are all headed to the open market. Bradberry would match properly with a crew that has loads of items already on the roster.
Jets
Robert Saleh in his first 12 months as a head coach couldn't have been happy with a protection that completed thirtieth in passing yards allowed in 2021. The highest returning corners are Bryce Corridor and Brandin Echols. Want any extra explanation why Bradberry shifting from blue to inexperienced is way from farfetched? The Jets having $48 million in wage area doesn't damage.
Patriots
Add a starter for a 12 months, hand over a mid-round draft choose, don't re-sign him the subsequent 12 months and acquire a mid-round draft choose as compensation? It’s the Patriots’ manner, proper? J.C. Jackson emerged as a star nook in New England — his eight interceptions in 2021 had been second solely to Trevon Diggs’ 11 — however Jackson might be an unrestricted free agent and his price ticket might be excessive. Possibly let him depart and purchase Bradberry for one season?
