The Philadelphia Eagles have poached two Buffalo Bills. Those two guys are Ron Brooks and Nigel Bradham. Peter Schrager of Fox Sports broke the news on Bradham while NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport broke the news on Brooks.

#Eagles signed Ron Brooks to a 3-year deal worth $6M, source said. It can be worth up to $8.7M with playtime incentives. A Jim Schwartz guy

Both players played under Jim Schwartz who was the former Bills defensive coordinator. Schwartz has now taken the job as the Eagles defensive coordinator making this an obvious. Interestingly enough Brooks and Bradham become the 2nd and 3rd former Bills to sign with the team in the past 24 hours. Yesterday the team inked cornerback Leodis McKelvin to a deal.
Brooks additional makes sense as a logical replacement for the recently traded Byron Maxwell. Bradham likely takes the place of Kiko Alonso as the teams inside linebacker. After clearing cap space in recent trades it appears the Eagles could do additional work in free agency moving forward.
Philly as added Chase Daniel and Brandon Brooks in free agency as well.
