The Giants were in the midst of a nightmare first quarter in Philadelphia on Saturday night, and it got even worse when their former cornerback got some revenge after being released this offseason.
Pro Bowler James Bradberry, let go by Big Blue before the season to free up some much-needed cap space, jumped in front of a curl route intended for Darius Slayton, and easily picked off Daniel Jones to force a Giants turnover, and a rare one for Jones, who had been among the league's best in limiting interceptions this season.
Bradberry was in the final year of a three-year, $45 million deal, but the Giants' new regime led by Joe Schoen needed cap space to rebuild the roster, and inherited a salary cap nightmare. Bradberry was the main casualty, though the Giants couldn't find a trade partner but needed to free up the roughly $10 million in cap space.
Bradberry then signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Eagles in March, and stuck it to his former team on Saturday night with his team already up 14-0.
