The Eagles are moving on from veteran linebacker Nigel Bradham.

The Eagles told Bradham Tuesday they would not pick up his $8 million option for 2020, making him a free agent starting next month.

The 30-year-old Bradham was a key part of the Eagles' Super Bowl-winning team in 2017, but only played 12 games last year, failing to record a sack or a forced fumble.

The move clears up about $4.5 million in cap space as the Eagles head into free agency.
