The Eagles have traded quarterback Nick Foles to the St. Louis Rams for former number one pick in the draft Sam Bradford. The Eagles will get the Rams 4th round pick this year in the deal and the Rams will get the Birds 5th round pick this year and their 2nd round pick in 2016..
I thought Chip Kelly was trying to move into position to get Marcus Mariota, but he and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur have decided to go all in with Bradford. Maybe there is still a chance that they can get Mariota, but they’ve got Bradford on the roster now. I thought the Eagles were getting the best of the draft picks, but they’re not. Kelly and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur are sold on Bradford’s arm and decision making, but they can’t be sold on his ability to stay on the field.
Bradford comes to Philadelphia with a long injury history. In truth, he is a walking and talking injury report, two ACL tears and one collarbone. The Eagles made that history a part of the deal. If Bradford is not starting in 2015 because of an injury, the Birds will keep their second round draft pick in 2016.
The Birds opened up all of that cap space to be able to take on Bradford’s salary which is going to be $12.9 million dollars this year. Bradford’s injury history makes it unlikely that he would be able to run Chip Kelly’s offense which features the “Read Option”. Still, Kelly and Shurmur believe in his ability to make quick, correct decisions and get the football out of his hands. Bradford ran a spread, no huddle offense in college at Oklahoma. He’s very bright and gets the ball out of his hands quickly.
I don’t think Bradford can survive in an offense where the quarterback is asked to run with the football. The Birds aren’t going to be asking Bradford to run the football very much. He’s going to operating in the spread, West Coast offense, which Shurmur taught him when he was the head coach and offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams.
It was obvious that Kelly wasn’t in love with Foles. Despite the young quarterback having a career year in 2013, Kelly never raved about the positives of having Foles as his quarterback.
LETS FREAKIN GO
WE GOT THE 10TH PICK
THEY HAVE OUR 20TH
WE NOW HAVE OPTIONS
THOUGH I KNOW ITS FOR MARIOTA
THE QB THAT WE NEED FOR THIS OFFENSE
WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOLES BUT THIS OFFENSE, THIS TEAM AND THIS FRANCHISE MUST MOVE FORWARD
E.A.G.L.E.S EAGLES!!!!
Just 1 WR so, no hurry to get excited. There again I doubt Chip has long either, so definitely there’s no rush at all. Howie Roseman no longer likes Chip, he’s still playing with Daddy’s pistol probably waiting for his opportunity to have Kelly escorted from the premises.
As consolation for this year maybe the Eagles will end up with Andre Johnson and Vincent Jackson on the booty end of their careers.
WRONG!
W-R-O-N-G!
WROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!
STFU YOU STUPID POS!!!!!
I can’t believe this shit
I don’t agree with this shit at all but fuck it…go get your guy chip
I’ve never hit “refresh” on my comp so many times in one hour. We need to know which draft picks we swapped before we can judge.
You idiot John Hart. They’re swapping picks in the SECOND ROUND, not the first.
New Eagles QBs are Sam Bradford at 13 million and Sanchez at 4.5.
18-30 Sam Bradford is now the Eagles starting QB.
Bub-bye thoughts of Mriotta.
No one can confirm which picks were swapped yet. Especially not gcobb.
Silence…Vinniedafool!
They’re swapping picks in the FIRST ROUND
WE ARE GETTING MARIOTA
FOLES IS DONE…FINISHED
FOLES IS OUTTA HERE
HA, HA, HA, HA!!! YES..TIME FOR EAGLES FANS TO CELEBRATE!!!!
You’ll be apologizing soon
SO SHUT THE FUCK UP N BOW DOWN VINNIE-THE-RIMMER
Hahahhahaaa!!!!
Oh shit. Jon hart on the scoreboard.
Vinnie 83
Jonhart 1
WRONG!
W-R-O-N-G!
WROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!
STFU YOU STUPID POS!!!!!
This site says they’re swapping second round picks, but others are saying its 1st round picks.
Vinny, the Eagles are getting the Rams #10 and a conditional 2 round pick in 2016. In effect..they are swapping first round picks…confirmed by Les Bowen and Albert Breer.
YESSSS
FOLES IS OUTTA OF HERE
ITS ALL OVER, ITS ALL OVER
YESSSSSS!!!!
WHAT A DEAL!! WHAT A STEAL!!! YESSSS!
ALL TRUE EAGLES FANS ARE ELATED!!
Hey Koolidiot…..If Sanchez is sooo much better than Foles, how come he didn’t get any FA offers, save the Eagles, while the Birds get a #10 pick for the guy?
Dumbass.
LOL!!!! Your done Vinnie…
I know you want to change the subject
You wanna talk about anything but ya boy…
Nick Foles is outta here
Fool!!
So when does chip speak…not that it matters because it’s all coaches speak.
Les Bowen has confirmed that the Eagles are getting # 10 and the Rams are getting # 20. The Eagles will get a conditional round 2 pick in 2016. Albert Breer is reporting the same.
St. Louis is comparing this trade the best heist of Philly since they got Scott rolen…they are throwing a parade.
They are emphatic…
DONT LOOK NOW BUT MURRAY AND THE EAGLES ARE TALKING
THEY HAVE MUTUAL INTEREST
Let the games begin
WRONG!
W-R-O-N-G!
WROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!
STFU YOU STUPID POS!!!!!
THATS DEMARCO MURRY FORMER RB OF THE COWBOYS
Best believe Eagles already have a deal in place with bucs or Titans.
Lease an McCoy said ‘I hated the trade at first, but I gathered my thoughts and felt better’ translation, ‘ I hated the trade, the bills backed up a Brinks truck then I liked it’
Yup
Did jets replace Harris?
Bradford and Kendrick and 10 for 6. Then cox 6 and pics to tenny or Tampa?
Harris resigned ILB Harris on a 3 Year Deal
Jets are making a ton on moves and good ones too…
Does anybody honestly think this isn’t about Mariota? Bradford, pick 10, Kendrick, 2016 1st round pick to Titans for Mariota.
Why the fuck would the Titans want 13 million dollar 18-30 Sam Bradford???
Eagles trade up to #10 with their eyes on CB Trae Waynes.
Sam Bradford reclamation project begins…its a $13 million dollar cap hit if they cut him….so difficult to see that happening……
Repetitive accuracy..lol
He is a very accurate qb…Jeff Mosher says if they keep Bradford watch for a New England offense, pedestrian receivers, multiple backs, smart qb with quick throws.
A reporter for the Rams is reporting the trade does not involve first round swaps….we just have to wait for the official word.
Wtf Rams reporter saying no first round swap
Les Bowen saying first round swap
Wtf that’s more important than the players.
Albert Breer 2 minutes ago
To be clear, never said anything about first-rounders being exchanged in the Rams/Eagles deal. Just that there will be a swap of 2015 picks.
What?
Y. I’m not seeing the 1st round swap anywhere except on Bleeding green. Nowhere else.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your starting QB for the Philadelphia Eagles…$13million dollar, 2x ACL repaired 18-30 Sammmmmmm Bradddddford!!!
Yes he did say that, NFL network also had it posted on monitor. He is back tracking if he stated that.
Sal Paolantonio was on 97.5…says that the Jets are interested in Bradford…maybe used in trade.
So if chip got us a swap of picks we r getting marriota
And if we didn’t get pick swap chip had Down syndrome and or is trying to turn on franchise into the Jaguars?
NFL Network is reporting its swap of 1sts.
My source confirms Titans and Bucs are interested in Sam Bradford
They’re at the top of the draft
Were getting Mariota any way you look at it
If it doesn’t work moving up for Mariota, we still have backup in Bradford and Sanchez
NFL Newtork saying there is NO swap of first round picks.
Bub-Bye Mariotta.
Hello Bradford.
Can’t believe that’s true
Lol…don’t be so sure about that!!! NFL network is saying picks are unknown. Even at 20 plus Bradford and conditional picks..if a team wants Bradford…it can be done. Stop hating Vinny..Foles is gone…get over it!
Jim Thomas..writer from St. Louis says he is not being told if Rams and Eagles are swapping 1st round picks. It’s unknown.
Vinny embrace it. Marriotta is coming here. I know it hurts but you have to take the first step.
LMAO..he has to first get over the sudden unexpected departure of Foles first.
Vinny, what made you think Kelly liked Foles? He never said anything that would indicate he wanted him, in fact the opposite happened.
Its not a sudden unexpected departure. I’ve been saying for several weeks that Foles was gone.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t a stupid move.
Start talking yourself into Sam Bradford. $13 million dead money if cut, so that’s unlikely to happen, and why the hell would either the Jets or Titans want Bradford? You can find guys who go 18-30 for a lot cheaper than $13 million.
Don’t have to talk myself into Bradford, I already stated whatever Chip does..oh well. However, because you see it’s a stupid move tells me that there is more to it. I don’t think Bradford is the guy..like I, it has been reported the Jjets like Bradford and that is where he will end up, the Eagles will then get Mariota at 6.
You have been saying Foles maybe gone for less than two weeks,,you finally submitted. I still want to know why you thought Chip liked Foles so much?
Vinny you are making yourself look dumber than when you said Russell Wilson was just average.
LET IT GO.
Vinnie and the Foles Fetish Crew are all broke up
Vinnie was just begging that for the Eagles to sign bum ass Foles to a long term Kaepernick deal…just yesterday …Vinnie was crying for the Eagles to make this move…
So much for that crap…
Explain it Vinnie…why have the Eagles gotten rid of the Franchise QB in Nick Foles
Why did Chip get rid of a QB that won so many games for him?
Why did Chip dump a QB that had a year of 27 touchdowns and 2 interceptions?
Explain the move Vinnie…break it down…Why would Chip get rid of a franchised QB in Nick Foles…LOL???
Vinnie, he has no dead $$$$ Go to spotrac. His salary cap hit of $12,985,000, but no dead $$$ if he cut, or traded. If he did, STl, would have had to pay it, with the initial trade.
Now NFL network has changed saying unknown picks. They obviously do not have everything hammered out yet..maybe squabbling over compensatory picks.
It only makes sense if it’s a swap of 1st round picks. Chip would never open the season with Bradford at QB…. that’s just ridiculous…
Agreed
The dude on NFL network just said its for unknown 2015 picks, but NOT in the first round. Also 2016 “compensation”
It doesn;t make sense either way…..why the hell would the Titans or Jets want a $13 mill pending free agent 18-30 starting QB????
I certainly don;t want him.
At this point I’m begging for a move to Mariotta.
Chip is clearly tired if Nick Foles…if there is no swap of 1st round picks then this simply tells us that Chip wanted to really get rid of Nick Foles
Addition by Subtraction
It makes sense to get rid of Foles and get something for him
Jon Hart
March 10, 2015 – 5:34 pm
Were getting Mariota any way you look at it
Jon Hart
March 10, 2015 – 5:37 pm
If it doesn’t work moving up for Mariota, we still have backup in Bradford and Sanchez
Fish outta water
Above, hoe on my nuts^^^^
Flip flopping know nothing moron. 3 minutes apart. We’re getting mariota anyway u look at. 3 mins later we still have Bradford and Sanchez if we don’t get marriota.
Haaaaaaa
Flip flop like Ya read about.
By the way having Sanchez is like having a pocket full of lint and a bar.
WRONG!
W-R-O-N-G!
WROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!
STFU YOU STUPID POS!!!!!
Fuck pick you poison Bradford or Sanchez. If there is no draft day trade we fucked.
**Eagles are close talks with RB D Murray***
Carry On…
Chip Kelly has confirmed everything we have long argued about…
Nick Foles wasn’t worth it…He’s not a franchised QB
Vinniedafool, haveablunt, mhenski aka Mr Multiple Profiles, Izzell Toasty the Clown….and so many others are now eating crow…
Chip has finally confirmed what we wanted to know…
Foles is not a franchise QB
ST. Louis disagrees. Enjoy Sam Bradford.
Never said he was worth it so eat shit YAIDIOT
You gum showing idiot…I HAVE NEVER said he was a franchise QB.
Now go through the archives and prove it.
See what happens when they let old dudes use the internet.
god its fun to check in on this site and watch supposed grown men get their panties in a wad in March – the first game isn’t until Sept right? Cause I may not claim to know as much about football as all you fantasy stars – but don’t you actually have to play the games?
Rams are now superbowl favs.
Foles goes 11-5, Throws for 3,800 Yards with 31 TD’s & 12 Int’s
gets a New 6 Year $110 Million Contract and Saves Jeff Fisher’s Job and finishes his Career with the Los Angeles Rams
Mr Mediocre will somehow finish off Foles career everything he touches turns to shit. Sanchez needs to be his QB.
I guess Kelly finally got “his” stable of quarterbacks.
Sam Bradford, Marc Sanchez and Matt Barkley. The 3 Qbs the Eagles have acquired since Kelly’s arrival.
“His” kind of QBs.
Bradford’s contract will be redone, he’ll be the next QB of the Bucs, Titans or Jets. There is no way he takes one snap for Chip Kelly.
Lion can they get to one without the 10 pick? Bradford would be less attractive to TB then Foles I would believe….
Cigar this trade is nothing compared to the whopper I heard they were working on with the Bucs, 1st pick Mike Evans to the Eagles 3 first round picks a second a third and Cox and Kendricks to the Bucs, heard this from some people in Tampa.
I heard that one (or something like it) a week ago.
Why if that’s the case…then why sign Sanchez?
Mariotta to start, a $13 million dollar backup and a $4.5 million dollar 3rd stringer?
Bradford maybe a part of that deal, or to another team.
Also about that trade scenario:
1 – Cox is more valuable than a WR (I think anyway) SO that’s about Even Cox for Evans (isn’t it? I still think advantage TB)
2 – so then 3 firsts, a second, a third, and Kendricks for Mariotta?
That’s beyond stupid/insane.
Ridiculous if that trade is made.
“The Genius” better go into the witness protection program, if that trade goes down!!!!!
Now see…that’s the one I’m really worried about.
I think this bradford mess is just move 1 of amultiple move play.
This sounds wacko enough to be on the money. Once Chip gets fired either after this season or next just remember that it’s going to be time to blow it up again and start over again and all this happening while we see all of the dispersed Eagles doing well all over the league.
This is ONLY a good trade if we swapped 1sts and get mariota. If not…
I’m shell shocked its too much going on……eagles fans around the country are going insane…..chip is nutz and its kinda fun
**Eagles Trade Brett Celek & Vinny Curry and a 2016 Conditional Pick to the Cleveland Browns for QB Johnny Football…
this aint the time for fake shit paul….we need real updates…hart get your ass on it
On NFL network Breer is saying they aren’t first round picks this year and the 2016 conditional is “complicated.” and yes…complicated was his word.
Reporters are all over the place on this story. No one knows yet, I don’t even think the deal is completed yet.
How much you want to bet there may be another team involved?
This is NUTS!
TS this is beyond nutz shit every time i check on bgn its so full with people commenting my computer lags like shit….i’m getting tired…lol
This has Sam Hinkie written all over it.. Where is he…
Paulman this is all hinkie….this is analytics from the master himself…..chip and hinkie are the same people…lol
Bradford is someone elses QB.
I am hearing the Jets is the team interested in getting Bradford.
That just gets them to 6. And I have a hard time believing Bowles wants to start his tenure with a double ACL having QB.
That may be all they need to get to.
No doubts at all about that Izell, guarantee there will be no Bradford press conference in Philly.
Espn has an article where Cleveland loved him as well and if Chip didnt want him its a closer move to Bradford in Cleveland.
Chip tosses Bradford to the Browns for free, just to stop them from
moving up with the Redskins at #5 To ruin his Mariota Plans..
lolol
WHAT DID WE GET BESIDES BRADFORD JESUS…..NOBODY KNOWS BUT CHIP
more and more reports are coming out that there are no swap of first round picks…it sounds like Chip just getting rid of Foles..it may be a dump off
Later round swap of picks and a “complicated” conditional in 2016.
This. Is. Not. A. Boss. Move.
I’m hearing from reports that they acutally want bradford and team him with his old Rb from oklahoma in murray…..they say the deal for murray is almost done…..shit idk what is going on
Yeah.
I saw that. I refuse to beleive it though.
lol
Here’s some good lottery numbers.
27-2 or 14-4
LOL
Seem better than 18-30.
You stooooopid
malcolm jenkins is tweetin all over the place” let the mad genius work”
In chip we bust?
Per Adam Schefter..the Eagles trade of Bradford and Foles is done..the draft pick(s) are undisclosed though. No one but those involved knows. I would believe that the pick(s) are enough to get Kelly where he feels he needs to get to trade up with Bradford and pick(s).
They aren’t first then ’cause I don’t see how they don’t disclose it if they are?
Seriously though…this is just part one of a multi-part move. On to the Bucs?
The rollercoaster isn’t over.
EHL…Chip is a cold blooded dude….
He just let the whole league know….you dont have no clue what Imma do next…..
Think u guys r right on the money. Think we should expect another part to this deal by morning hence the undisclosed picks ?
Best twitter response I read regarding the trade…..
Chip Kelly traded Nick Foles and then looked Stephen A Smith in the eyes for 3 minutes without blinking
LOL. That is some funny stuff. Laughed out loud. My god Stephen A. Smith is an idiot.
I love this team. They do the off season like they do the season. Absolute madness.
SO now it’s back to being a first round swap?
Chip will sign DeMarco Murray to stick it to McCoy
McCoy admittedly screwed us. Told Gore not to play here
And that trickled down to Andre Johnson not coming here
SIGN MURRAY CHIP
WRONG!
W-R-O-N-G!
WROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!
STFU YOU STUPID POS!!!!!
Here’s a few parting words Foles left for the stiff’s jock sniffers…….
Foles addressed the media for the first time since Week 9 and when asked about next year he said “I expect to be back here. I expect to be the quarterback. I love my teammates and I expect to be back out there leading them.” Expect another off-season of “Is Nick Foles the guy?”
Nick will now have new teammates to love along with a new team that he can “promise to get better”, after throwing off his back foot.
Anyways.
Guys, what are your thoughts on what team Chip is in talks with so the Eagles can swoop in and get Mariota?
LOL…the team is better
Its addition by way of subtraction
14-4, 27-2 all those numbers where meaningless to Chip
Chip had a close and careful look at Nick Foles
He agreed: Nick Foles is a bum and not a Franchise QB
You are correct but in full disclosure deseans numbers, maclin and shady’s numbers were just as meaningless…
