The Eagles have been making plenty of moves since free agency began on Wednesday at 4pm and they've added two more players to their defense, both former members of the Buffalo Bills, in linebacker Nigel Bradham and cornerback Ron Brooks.

Bradham, 26, has spent all four years of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills, including 2014 under Jim Schwartz, the current Eagles defensive coordinator. That season was Bradham's most successful, recording 104 tackles, 2.5 sacks and an interception in 14 games. Last season, Bradham was limited to 11 games due to an ankle injury and never really fit well in Rex Ryan's blitz-heavy defensive system, registering 59 combined tackles and a sack. He'll have the opportunity to fill the spot once held by Kiko Alonso. Bradham was selected in the fourth round out of Florida State in 2012.
Meanwhile, Brooks, 27, will likely be used on special teams and as depth at the cornerback position. Selected in the fourth round of the 2012 by Buffalo, Brooks signed a three-year contract worth $6 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He tallied 10 special teams tackles in 2014.
