Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham reached agreement on a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Eagles released Bradham on Feb. 19 after he had spent four seasons with the team.
Bradham, who turns 30 on Sept. 4, was scheduled to make a base salary of $8 million in 2020. The move saved the Eagles $4.5 million in salary cap room.
Originally a fourth-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2012, the Florida State product signed with the Eagles in 2016 and became a key component of defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's defense, averaging 96 tackles over his first three seasons in Philadelphia.
