The suspension is interesting since Bradham has been cleared from an aggravated battery charge involving an incident at a South Florida hotel in July of 2016. The Philadelphia Eagles linebacker expected to be cleared of the charges after the prosecution was deferred last June.

Bradham reportedly beat a cabana boy over an umbrella at a South Beach Hotel a week before Eagles training camp was set to begin last year. According to officials, Bradham punched the worker in the face while someone in his group allegedly smashed the worker with a glass bottle.
Here was the description of the assault from NBC Miami back in July:
"According to statements, a group of six people started arguing with the employee over the length of time it took to bring them an umbrella they had paid for. The verbal argument became physical, with the victim sustaining cuts and lacerations, including one to the back of his head when a glass battle was allegedly smashed over it.

The alleged assault victim, Jean Courtois, claimed Bradham was unhappy with his service and struck him.
Bradham stayed out of trouble for six months, closing the case permanently. The charge against Bradham was a second-degree felony, which could have resulted up to 15 years in prison if Bradham was found guilty. Bradham released a statement on Twitter, apologizing to Eagles fans regarding the incident:
"I would like to apologize to my fans, coaches, teammates and the entire eagles organization for the 1 game suspension. This stems from a July 2016 incident and the matter is now resolved. I look forward to giving it my all this season and helping the team win another Championship."
Bradham also was booked with a second-degree misdemeanor for a concealed weapon in Miami on October of 2016, three months after the aggravated battery charge. He was released on $500 bail.

Bradham started 15 games for the Eagles at outside linebacker in 2017, compiling 88 tackles, eight pass deflections, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and an interception. He graded 21st amongst all outside linebackers by Pro Football Focus, with a 80.6 mark.
Bradham signed a five-year, $40 million deal with the Eagles this offseason, but his contract could be for as little as one-year and $6 million should the Eagles decide to move on from him after the 2018 season. The contract contains only $6 million in truly guaranteed components: A $5 million signing bonus and Bradham's $1 million base salary, which is fully guaranteed. The remaining base salaries on Bradham's deal are $8 million from 2019 to 2021 and $10 million in 2022. The last three years, however, are not guaranteed, and only $2 million of the 2019 base salary is guaranteed.
