Top Eagles storylines heading into 2024 mandatory minicamp originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles have completed the voluntary portion of their offseason program and will kick off their three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.
This minicamp, which runs through Thursday, will be the first mandatory minicamp in Nick Sirianni’s four-year run as head coach of the Eagles.
After a collapse to end the 2023 season and two new coordinators, it’s probably a good idea to have one this year.

1st missed day: $15,515
2nd missed day: $31,030
3rd missed day: $46,540
The maximum amount a player can be fined for missing all three days of a mandatory minicamp is $93,085.
What happens with James Bradberry?
Howie Roseman at the Combine said Bradberry was in the Eagles’ plans but that’s a little hard to believe. The 30-year-old cornerback had an awful season in 2023 and then the Eagles drafted two cornerbacks in the top 40 picks in April. Even though Bradberry has two years left on his contract, it’s probably time to move on.
