Howie Roseman revealed that the team initially planned to retain safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, but ultimately had to 'pivot' and did so by retaining corners Darius Slay and James Bradberry.

. Gardner-Johnson balked at the Eagles’ initial multiyear contract offer at the start of free agency, and the Eagles eventually moved on to re-signing Bradberry and extending Slay after initially planning to release him to save cap room.Grading the Eagles in free agency thus far results in mostly high marks for Howie Roseman“When you go back to the start of free agency,” Roseman said.

The moves in the secondary are in line with Roseman’s general approach so far this offseason. He has retained a handful of older players like Fletcher Cox , Brandon Graham , Jason Kelce , Slay , and Bradberry at salaries slightly under market value. Cox, Slay, and Bradberry each had competitive offers before signing back with the Eagles on relatively favorable deals.

“We did go to the playoffs [in 2019] and won the division,” Roseman said. “So it wasn’t a total [expletive] show, although that may be the perception. We had one terrible year. I think also the important thing is you need high-level quarterback play.” “In general, this perception that we made all these mistakes and we have to learn from them,” Roseman added. “I think part of that is how important it is to have high-level quarterback play for our team.”
