Ex-Eagles Star Clearly Told ALL Parties Involved: “I Want Philadelphia Eagles” — The Message Was STRONG

Philadelphia, PA – August 6, 2025

The NFL offseason always brings movement, drama, and fresh headlines — but few resonate quite like this one in South Philadelphia. It’s not a blockbuster trade. Not a rookie breakout. It’s a voice — familiar, proud, and unfinished.

That voice belongs to James Bradberry IV, and it’s calling out for one final shot.

After two impactful years locking down the back end of the Eagles' defense and helping push the franchise to a Super Bowl title, Bradberry’s absence has been quietly felt — not just in coverage schemes, but in locker room tone, sideline leadership, and the trust only a veteran can command.

“They let me go because I cost too much and had too many miles. But I’m not done. I told Philly — pay me less if you have to. Just let me finish what we started. I want one last shot at a Super Bowl in the only jersey that ever mattered to me.”

It’s not just sentiment. It’s legacy.

From All-Pro performances to an unselfish position switch, Bradberry gave everything to the midnight green. He didn’t just guard wideouts — he shielded the identity of a team chasing greatness. Even in 2024, when injuries sidelined him, he stayed in the huddle — mentoring young cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, guiding from the shadows when he couldn’t lead from the field.

Beyond the Numbers

Bradberry’s 98 tackles, 30 pass deflections, and 4 picks in 33 starts only tell part of the story. It was his calm in chaos, his willingness to take blame when it wasn’t his to own, and the way younger players listened when he spoke — that made him the quiet backbone of the Eagles’ secondary.

And now, with Philadelphia leaning into a youth movement on defense, Bradberry watches from the outside. He’s healed. He’s hungry. And he’s not shy about what he wants.

He wants back in.

The question now is no longer about age or salary cap. It’s about belief.
Does Philadelphia still believe in a leader who never stopped believing in them?

With another Super Bowl window open — albeit narrowing — will the Eagles make room for a warrior who still has one last stand in him?

Or… has one of the most respected chapters in franchise history quietly turned its final page?

Raiders Reunite with a Former Starter to Fortify the Offensive Line
Las Vegas, NV   The Las Vegas Raiders have brought back a familiar face in a move that screams both urgency and savvy: versatile offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor is returning to the Silver & Black on a one-year deal (terms not disclosed), reuniting with the franchise where he logged some of the best football of his career and immediately fortifying a position group that has been stretched thin. Eluemunor, 31, started for the Raiders from 2021–2023, showing rare position flexibility across right tackle and guard while anchoring pass protection against premier edge rushers. His technique, anchor, and ability to handle long-arm power made him a steadying force during multiple playoff pushes. After departing Vegas, Eluemunor spent time elsewhere refining his craft, but a confluence of roster needs and scheme familiarity has set the stage for a timely homecoming. For the Raiders—fighting to keep pace in a rugged AFC—this is about stability and fit. Injuries and week-to-week availability on the right side of the line have forced constant shuffling; protection packages have leaned heavily on chips and condensed splits to survive obvious passing downs. Eluemunor’s return allows the staff to plug him at RT or slide him inside at RG, restoring balance to protections and widening the run-game menu (duo, inside zone, and the toss/ pin-pull that Vegas fans love when the edge is sealed). “Jermaine knows who we are and how we want to play,” a team source said. “He brings ballast. Assignment sound, physical, and smart—he raises the floor for the entire unit.” Beyond the X’s and O’s, there’s an unmistakable emotional charge to this reunion. Eluemunor was a locker-room favorite in his previous stint—professional, detail-driven, and accountable. The belief internally is that his presence stabilizes communication on the right side (IDs, slides, and pass-off rules vs. games and simulated pressures), which in turn unlocks more vertical concepts and keeps the quarterback cleaner late in games. On social media, Raider Nation lit up the timeline with a simple refrain: “Welcome back, Jem.” Many fans called the deal the exact kind of “rival-poach, ready-to-play” move a contender makes in October: low friction, high impact, zero learning curve. What it means on the field (immediately): Pass pro: Fewer emergency chips, more five-out releases—OC can re-open deeper intermediate shots without living in max-protect. Run game: Better edge control on toss/duo; more confidence running to the right on money downs. Depth & versatility: One injury doesn’t force a cascade of position changes; Eluemunor can cover two spots with starting-level competency. The timetable? Swift. Because Eluemunor already speaks the language—terminology, splits, cadence rules—he could suit up as early as this weekend if the medicals/check-ins continue to trend positive. The message is clear: the Raiders aren’t waiting around for the line to gel—they’re engineering it. If Jermaine Eluemunor plays to his Raider résumé, this reunion could be the precise mid-season jolt that steadies the offense and keeps the Silver & Black firmly in the postseason race. Raider Nation, the question writes itself: Plug-and-play stopgap—or the catalyst that reclaims the right side
