Will The Eagles Trade Sam Bradford?

SamBradfordvs.Redskins1The big question now, concerns keeping or trading quarterback Sam Bradford.  Bradford knows his days as an Eagles are numbered.  At the same time, if he stays here, he’s going to have a chance to show the rest of the league what he can do.

NFL Network host Brian Baldinger said he thinks Bradford is going to be traded on our Wednesday night FootballStories.com show on 610am WTEL, which is on from 5pm to 7pm.

Right now, the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos have Mark Sanchez as their starter.  They might be interested in Bradford.  The New York Jets have Geno Smith as their starter.  They are two teams with good defenses and quality players on the offense, but a major question mark at the quarterback position.

Eagles V.P. of Football Operations, Howie Roseman went on the record and said the Eagles aren’t going to trade Bradford, but if a team offered the Eagles a few draft picks for Bradford, I think he would be traded immediately.  I believe Roseman would personally accompany Bradford to his new team.

I don’t think Bradford will be traded because most or all of the teams in the NFL don’t have room in their salary cap structure to accommodate an $18 million dollar a year salary.  Bradford is likely to remain here as a Bird and it will allow to take their time developing Carson Wentz.

It has begun….reports that Sam is “hot”…

All orchestrated so we can move him and say well we were planning on keeping Sam but he deserved the opportunity to be the man now and future.

Bradford will be moved if offers are good enough to recoup some cost of trade up.

I expect QBs will be Rookie, Daniel, Foles after release in LA.

Sam is “hot”

Sam hasn’t been “hot” about anything in his life. He just shrugged his shoulders like he’s done every other time he’s faced adversity in his life.

notable players who could be traded to get some of those pics back..

peters- a team like the seahawks could give you a 3rd and 5th for him
sproles-32 still has burst and has value as a 3rd down back/returner could net a late 4th or 5th
graham- could get you a 4th
barwin could get you a late 2nd early 3rd can play in a 3-4 or 4-3 now they won’t trade both one or the other
huff can get you a 5th or 6th same with taylor hart
bradford depending on the team could net anywhere from a late 4th to a late 2nd

I would be extremely happy if the Eagles get a 2nd rd pick for Bradford. And the team that would make the most sense would be the Broncos. Sanchez is definitely not the answer, and Bradford I think would do very well in Denver. Decent line, very good WR’s, and a solid D. We now need to start reloading and get some draft picks..

Winston & Mariotta and Carr were instant starters.
Bortles sat a couple games behind Chad Henne before he took the football. Same with Bridgewater sat a few behind Cassels then took over. Manziel was yoyo-ed in and out mostly out .

Bradford just cannot catch a breaks in terms of getting a shot in the Nfl.

2 acl tears on an abysmal rams team, which turned into one of toughest divisons Inn football. And they still haven’t turned it around…yet.

Comes to philly off 2 major knee surgeries and is having to learn a new city, players, and system that handcuffs him regardless what the defense is showing.

I hope he goes to a jets team or even Denver and balls out and actually gets a legit healthy shot with a team around him and coach that let’s him loose.

I hope he plays well and earns us a playoff bid and a 2nd rounder.

I don’t expect he makes it past draft day though.

I expect a package kind of trade. IE Sam, Ryan Matthews or Barwin for picks and players.

I have to say Howie has been a true NFL GM.

He took a roster that had FAR too much money invested at RB and shifted it to the right place QB. Getting to the 2 overall pick from 13 dropping bad contracts and still having a bunch of draft picks remaining to churn for depth over the next 3 years as we get our HC, OC, DC and roster set to compete in the years to come while still having a shot in a weak division.

I am excited. This is the process we missed out on three years ago when we did not get a QB in a coaches first year and not trading out to get future 1sts to be able to get a top QB

Andrew Brandt sums it up perfectly for me:

What the Heck are the Eagles up to at Quarterback?
Boy, was I wrong. I thought/assumed/guessed that the Eagles, with their well-publicized visits with Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, complete with owner Jeffrey Lurie in tow, were creating an elaborate smokescreen, the perception that they were a major player in the market for moving up toward the top of the draft. The Eagles’ front office, which I know well, never shied away from selling that notion; I was simply not buying it, not for a minute. I own it; they proved me completely wrong.

Buying big

Beyond being draft-eligible quarterback observers this offseason, the Eagles were highly active veteran quarterback buyers. They invested near the top of the starter market—nearly $18 million per year to Sam Bradford—and at the top of the backup market—$7 million per year to Chase Daniel. Bradford is now a top 10-paid player at the position, and Daniel is making what the Jets and Broncos plan to pay their starters. To put it in further perspective, Daniel will make over three years—$21 million—roughly the same as Goff and Wentz will make over four. With $34 million of fully guaranteed investment in the position ($22 million to Bradford, $12 million to Daniel) and $57 million overall, I rejected the notion that the Eagles would use their only pick in the first two rounds—along with other valuable property in future drafts—on a quarterback (unless that quarterback can play other positions as well). Again, I was wrong.

As for the money, I always get the same reaction from some fans, even media members: But can’t the Eagles get out of these contracts after one year with little guarantee remaining? Yes, as noted here often, almost every NFL contract contains little security past the first year, but Lurie and the Eagles are not frivolous spenders. No one invests heavily in players—especially at the game’s most important position—with an eye toward replacing them for at least a couple of years. Further, it would be one thing if Bradford and Daniel were late into contracts that were signed years ago; these deals were done in March! Or, if the Eagles had only signed either Bradford or Daniel; they signed both! Finally, this is not like a team drafting a quarterback high when the established starter is nearing the end of his career; Bradford (age 28) and Daniel (29) have many years ahead of them.

Neither rostered QB is going anywhere

Also, people: The Eagles are not trading Bradford or Daniel this year; stop with that suggestion. The Eagles are responsible for $20 million in bonus money whether the players are traded or not. Lurie is not paying an $11 million signing bonus to Bradford— with half of it already spent, the other half due September 1—for him to play for someone else. Similarly, Lurie is not paying $9 million in bonuses to Daniel for him to play elsewhere. These players are here for the short term, although both appear to be signed to be eventually replaced the by the second pick in the 2016 draft—who will be getting a $16 million signing bonus.

Lawyer that I am, I try to see both sides and understand the Eagles’ position, even if I disagree with it. With a weak division and a fan base with, shall we say, high expectations, Philadelphia did not want to sacrifice this season and felt that Bradford can carry them to a solid level of success. As for his price tag, they paid $2 million more than the franchise tag number if he’s around for one year, and $2 million per year less than the tag number is he’s around two years. Regarding Daniel, his signing has always appeared a nod to new coach Doug Pederson, as big a Daniel fan as there is in the league. (Pederson and Daniel were together in Kansas City from 2013 to ’15, as offensive coordinator and backup QB, respectively.) And speaking of Pederson, the Eagles have a lot of coaches schooled in quarterback development. They will provide a strong opportunity for Goff/Wentz to—eventually—be successful.

Could the Eagles have negotiated better deals? Perhaps, but they weren’t willing to risk losing any of the three quarterbacks they will have this year. Now they see an opportunity to secure their future long beyond the tenures of Bradford and Daniel. The problem, of course, is that they have no margin for error on this player. Sure, if that player—Carson Wentz or Jared Goff—becomes a franchise quarterback and the face of the franchise, it will be worth it. But what are the odds of that? Thirty percent? Forty percent? The Eagles better be right about the player for whom they have mortgaged some treasured real estate; a swing and miss here would resonate far more than missing on a “normal” top draft pick.

Titans and Browns bounties

As should come as no surprise with my background in Green Bay, I favor a net result of more draft picks than fewer picks. Even with the rights to the top pick (Rams) or second pick (Eagles) overall, trades such as these force inefficient replacement costs—usually more expensive veteran players with limited development windows—to supplant cost-effective infrastructure, in the form of drafted players, that would have been under contract at fixed and reasonable rates for four years. Remember when the Rams faced the Redskins and, for the opening coin flip, sent out players who were a by-product of the Robert Griffin III trade? Now that shoe is on the Rams’ and Eagles’ feet. Draft choices, especially those in the second and third rounds, are the best value going in the NFL right now, and the Eagles and Rams just gave away a disproportionate share of them.

The Titans and Browns picked a good year to be at the top of the draft, netting a treasure trove of draft picks. Having said that, I do find it hard to believe they could not have secured even more, with an ability to go back to these deal, by waiting until closer to the draft. Any good negotiator knows he won’t see the absolutely, positively best offer from his counterpart until the clock runs out. This is not to say that the Titans and Browns did not score impressive gift bags from the Rams and Eagles, but it feels as if they could have leveraged more. As eager as they obviously were to move up, L.A. and Philly—no matter what they say—were not going away. They would have been back before the draft, perhaps with more in the gift bag. I do understand, however, that leverage can be fleeting.

A week from now the Rams and Eagles will each get their guy (to eventually replace the guys they now have). And I am sure they both think that player will become the successful and signature face of the franchise’s future. For their sakes, I hope they are right.

Did this little dickhead see Denver’s defense just win a damn Super Bowl? Watch them be right back in the hunt with dumb ass Sanchez at the helm because of their DEFENSE.

It makes perfect sense to me. The Eagles have less money invested in Bradford, Daniel and the rookie than the Cowboys have invested in Romo alone. Anyone who thinks 57 million is a lot to invest in the quarterback position is mistaken.

The Eagles saw what they had in Bradford and realize they had to make a move to stabilize the quarterback position beyond the coming year. Defense might win in the playoffs, but you don’t make the playoffs with Bradford leading your team.

Especially when you take in what Andrew Brandt says here:

Of course you are shocked, everything you believed to be true was proven false as it relates to Bradford being the guy in Doug Pederson’s eyes. The same guy you said was hired by the Eagles to provide his expertise at QB has told you that he rejects your assessment of Bradford as the long term answer.

Of course it makes no sense to you at all, because you refuse to look at the big picture, nor are you looking at the situation in it’s proper context. So let’s examine this.
As I told you, Bradford’s contract was essentially a one year deal…all you had to do was follow the money.
The Eagles signed Sam in March without knowing they were going to be able to move up in the draft to get their guy so what they did makes perfect sense. However, they framed the contract in such a way that it would not prohibit them from drafting a 1st round QB just in case the opportunity presented itself.
Once the Eagles were able to move up to 8, the chance of them having a shot at picking a QB they liked increased.
The Browns decided to move out of pick two, which opened the door for the Eagles to get the QB they coveted.
Sam was never looked at as the heir apparent long term QB, you thought that he was and that is the issue, you convinced yourself that Bradford was the guy based on a one year contract. Like I stated, it’s the years that counted in this situation too, not just the money.

Well, the Eagles have spoken, they want to get their guy to be the future franchise QB, not Sam Bridgeford. That massive contract has turned out to be nothing more than a nice place holder expense that will be off of the books next year. Book it!!!

Andrew Brandt sums it up perfectly for a guy who predicted incorrectly that we should follow the money…. Ha!

I guess Joe Banner and Howie know a bit more about NFL team finance than Andrew Brandt. Maybe that’s why Brandt works for ESPN these days, and not an NFL team.

Joe Banner has been all over twitter for the last month refuting the notion that the Bradford and Daniel contracts would prevent the Eagles from drafting a 1st round quarterback.

If this move fails it will be because of Howie’s poor talent evaluation, not his financial decisions.

Everyone has to stop looking at thisDeal as a short term fix for the QB Position because this move is the exact opposite and a long term move for stability at the QBPosition which is exactly what Owner Lurie wanted to get back too…
For all the short-term memory folks on here and boy there is a lot…
In Mid-March, the Eagles have no idea that Deal is going to go thru with the Dolphins which netted them the 8th Pick, nor does anyone know that Ramsare moving up to the #1 position clearly leaving the other QB at #2 for any Team that’s I need…
Bradford was are-Signed probably hastily onthe first day of Free-Agency but with a 2 Year Deal in play, it gave the Eagles some flexibility and consistentcy for HC Pederson’sfirst Season, the they go out per Pederson’s request and overpay to obtain Chase Daniels to back up Bradord who has history with injuries so that the Eaglescanbe competitive in2016 which is what everyone wants… Now very few people a month ago saw the Eagles now being at #2 to guarantee them a Top QB Prospect from this Draft… Now that they have done this you simply can’t go back and say, why did they sign Bradford or Daniels??

The Plan moving Forward will be the Following
Bradford Plays 2016 and hopefully plays well, remains healthy and leads Team to a NFC Crown which is wide open.. If he plays real well, Bradford could even remain for 2017, but realistically, Bradford will play for 2016 and the be Traded next Off-Season for at least a 2nd Round Pick and maybe more..
Now If Bradford gets injured in 2016, then Chase Daniels Play..
I expect Carson Wentz to be “Inactive” on Game Days as long as both Bradford/Daniels are healthy for its difficult to keep a #3 “Active” on Game Day

This Trade will begin to pay off in 2017 and especially in 2018 and then hopefully the Eagles have their next true franchise QB for the following 10-12 Years afterwards

Now if a Team Offers the Eagles a nice Deal for Sam Bradford this Draft Weekend, then the Eagles would certainly entertain the offer but they are not going to go out and dump Sam Bradford for a 5th Round Pick just to move him..

I understand that premise Paulman but real life says Daniels is here to mentor Wentz in your words so it’ll be Bradford and Wentz on game days and Daniels inactive. Especially if Wentz shows in pre season he’s competent. No damn way unless the Eagles are in contention that Wentz takes no snaps in a real live NFL game before 2017.

The Sam Bradford deal had already been part of plan A ..everything in progression needed to happen to facilitate the next step in the process.Those hanging on the words of Howie “Sam is our starter ” or the great disciple Aandrew Brandt” in shock with his mouth aghast ,need stop being emotional and start thinking about the true. Consequences. Of the deals ,as they are unfolded ..Sam was an asset in which Chubby the GM screwed up ,we already established that fact ..so howie and all the NFL executives (men in suits) who get paid to make decisions ,found the terrain for Sam as a free agent wasn’t fertile ,and howie gave up something to retain an asset ,as opposed to losing Sam and a second round pick with no return..it turns out that 2nd enabled the Rams to jump to one.So in all revisionist thinking it proved of significant value ..now we are in the two slot ,( assumed to be picking Wentz) ,but no longer thn umber one overall pick .We were actually done that favor by the Rams ..SAMs deal isn’t accurately being portrayed by Brandt ,as SAMs 11 million is deferrable on the 2017 books if traded prior to sept 1 ..net. Loss of only 4 million if that occurs …its accounting (of which howie ) is a master ..Sam is already reporting through leaks (also ,Howies specialty) that he’s feeling scorned ,rejected ,(use all the kicked to the curb a analogies ) you choose..he’s the first wife looking at the trophy wife ,and no stooped shoulder surgery is available …he’s gone ,as in see ya ,outta here ,sayonara ,Sammy sideways will move for that metaphor ..a sideways transaction..his contract wasn’t just constructed by howie …it was constructed by his suitor as well..this all unfolds in a short period of time ,and the money is transferable and cox gets redone …that’s plan A ..not stating that all plans are adhered ,but this one is happening methodically ,just as I envisioned it ..Id assume we all have watched as the Eagles yesterday squashed the dreams of Sam I am …how do you see him performing under that scrutiny …the ex wife always jets off somewhere else ,unless she’s a psycho bitch ..SAMs a doey eyed Bambi…book it

Because the bonus money this year 2016 $11 million is the Eagles responsibility ..so those fostering the arguments that he’s too rich ,aren’t looking at it through Howies prism or other guys who get paid to make decisions ..The jets were helped with fitz ,as now they have an illusion of leverage ,so that leaves Denver or San Fran …the best of all landings is in Denver …a QB at the helm of the organization ,a team to console Bambi ,and a reason to create a competition for the butt fumbler ….this is Plan A

I compare Carson Wenz in terms of his Atheticism,Strength, Football IQ, Leadership,Arm Strength and Toughness between a Andrew Luck and a Blake Bortles…
Wentz has all the Physical Tools these 2 NFL QB’s have
In Fact, I have Wentz further along that Bortles when he was coming out of University of Central Florida with only 13 College Starts under his belt..
I have Andrew Luck further ahead for the experience he came into the NFL with having 35 + Starts at Stanford

Wentz had about 25 Starts at FCS (Old Division II) North Dakota State which have been a Dominant Program for the last 5-6 Years in the FCS Division with 5 NCAA Championships so he comes from a well establishes, well coached and schemes Program..
This Kid Wentz is not a Johnny Football, Jamies Winston or even Cam Newton look at me type of Personality.. Hes a Mid-Western, going to tell it like it is and work his ass off to get better… That’s how he’s wired..
We will all see how it turns out but I am going to predict that Carson Wentz becomes and All-Pro QB with Multiple PLayoff Wins and a Chance to lead the Eagles to Super Bowl During his career.. Its not going to happen in 2016 or even 2017, but from 2018 to 2027 or so, the Eagles will be legitimate contenders every Season because of this kid…
I think Wenz will be behind Luck but ahead of Bortles in Terms of Production
and considered a Top 5 NFL QB by 2020

Listen to all the People surrounding Wentz (Teammates, Coach’s, School Officials, Competitors, people in the Community)
I think this Wentz’s gets the Big Picture just like I do about Andrew Luck
which doesn’t mean they Win Automatic Championships, but its a better chance with QB’s who understand the Game, Rise to the Challenge and Know how to Win and make Teammates Better to go along with the Physical Attributes… We will find out in time …

The reality is – this is exactly what Chip Kelly wanted to do last year, but he was too dumb to make it work…. Sam was a trading “chip” that would not sign an extension and ruined Kelly’s plan…. lol

Sam Bradford signed the one year deal he was offered. He did this when everyone on the planet knew the Eagles would be drafting a QB (perhaps they didn’t anticipate this, but everyone knew a QB was coming)

Again he signed a one year deal. He knew a QB was going to be dradfted.

What did he think was going to happen?

I think Sam Bradford would have had activity in Free-Agnecy, but he would have received a 2 year $35 Million Deal that the Eagles gave him.. By all accounts, Bradford didn’t really want to move to another Team with new Teammates and System unless he had to and though he could build on how he finished last Season.. At least from his perspective..
And now we fast forward to now and the Top 2 QB’s for the 2016 Draft Class are spoken for by the Rams/Eagles and maybe Sam Bradford looks better to other Teams when looking at what other options are out there ? I Still think Kaepernick will be moved by the 49ers by Draft Weekend and even sooner like this weekend to either the Broncos or Jets which means that the 49ers would become in the Market for a QB and Bradford would at least have familiarity with Kelly’s System off the bat so the49ers could hit their Summer Camp running in terms of who their QB in 2016 will be..
The 49ers have 12 Total Draft Picks this Draft so that have some ammunition to Trade plus whatever they receive for Kaepernick..
I believe the Kapernick/GM Trent Balkee Relationship has become so toxic that Kaepernick just can’t return to the 49ers

We could see a Deal with the 49ers involving Bradford for a Draft Pick and OT Anthony Davis who is returning from a 1 year Retirement and who was a 2 tine Pro-Bowl RT and could be a nice Fit for the Eagles at RT as LJ Replaces Peters come 2017 .. Anthony Davis is a NJ Kid and played at Rutgers.
The 49ers Drafting at #7 will likely have OT Ronnie Stanley to Select to become their next RT

Fascinating to watch yesterday since I hired both Sashi and Howie, and worked for both teams and both owners.
