Eagles Stay or Go 2024: Time to revamp the linebacker position? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Reuben Frank and Dave Zangaro bring back Stay or Go in 2024, trying to figure out the futures of every Eagles player on the roster.
We already looked at quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end, interior offensive line, offensive tackle, specialists, defensive tackle and edge rusher.
Up today: Linebacker
Shaun Bradley
Roob: He was one of the Eagles’ better special teamers in 2021 and 2022 before missing all of last year, but Bradley rarely plays on defense – he averaged under three snaps per game his first three seasons – and as Howie Roseman and Vic Fangio remake the linebacker position this offseason I’m not sure there’ll be a role for a 27-year-old linebacker that doesn’t play defense and is coming off a blown-out Achilles. Bradley has done well for himself as a 6th-round pick and I expect him to be somewhere in 2024 if that Achilles is sound, but I don’t think it’ll be here.
Verdict: Goes
Dave: The veteran special teamer is a pending free agent and is coming off an Achilles tear that ended his 2023 season before it even started. That was a tough blow for him. But without Bradley, the Eagles ended up having a really good special teams unit and other guys stepped up to fill that void. Hopefully, Bradley can sign a contract and have a chance to make a roster. There’s a chance that could happen in Philly and the Eagles could sign him to a deal and bring him to camp. This one could go either way.

He’s a free agent now and Howie Roseman went out of his way at his post-season presser to try and convince everybody that Cunningham played well. He didn’t play well. He was barely adequate. He’s a free agent now and if Roseman wants to re-sign him it better be as a back-up because if the Eagles are…
