Looks like the Eagles are going to start Chase Daniel and wait on Carson Wentz to get healthy.

The Vikings have traded a FIRST ROUND PICK for Sam Bradford so undoubtedly he’s the starter.

Looks like Teddy Bridgewater’s injury is worse than thought.

Details on the trade below:

The Vikings will give up a first-round pick in 2017 and an additional pick in 2018.

The fourth-round pick in 2018 can escalate to as much as a second-rounder if the Vikings win the Super Bowl and Bradford plays 80% of the snaps, a person with knowledge of the deal said, speaking on condition of anonymity because details were to remain private.

Smart move by the Eagles to recoup some of those picks they burned to get Wentz. Very interesting deal.

Condon recently hit the media trail to explain why his client was ready to make a business decision and force his way out of Philadelphia during the 2016 NFL Draft. Obviously plans have changed and Bradford is pretty much stuck where he is but it is interesting to hear what happened the moments after the Eagles officially drafted Carson Wentz.

Bradford attempted to get himself traded to Denver but the Eagles weren’t able to make it happen:

“When [the Broncos] couldn’t make a deal and then drafted the quarterback in the first round, at that point they are no longer interested in Sam,” Condon said. “And so our next best move is for Sam to go back to Philadelphia and learn the system, play like he’s capable, and I think play really well this year and potentially next year, and then be available for either trade or free agency.”

Sam ain’t going to say it no’ mo. Put some respek on his name. All tree of ya’ll.

That assumption was wrong. Very wrong. Sam Bradford wants to make more money than EVERY other QB in the league:

When the Eagles traded for quarterback Sam Bradford last offseason, they did so without extending him, a move many felt was risky.

Well, now we might know why.

According to ESPN’s Jim Trotter, Bradford’s agent Tom Condon asked the Eagles for $25 million a year last offseason when the two sides were discussing a contract extension.

It wasn’t reported how many years Bradford’s agent was seeking.

Trotter mentions that then-head coach Chip Kelly, who also controlled the personnel department, wasn’t willing to pay Bradford that amount, which is why the two sides never struck a deal.

And given the pay structure of NFL quarterbacks, it’s understandable. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers draws the highest average annual salary at $22 million, with the likes of Seahawks’ Russell Wilson, Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger and Giants’ Eli Manning — who have all earned Super Bowl titles, by the way — falling in behind that.

(Patriots’ Tom Brady isn’t among the top-paid quarterbacks only because of his generosity.)

Bradford’s first season was average at best, as he finished with 19 touchdowns in 14 games to go with 3,725 yards and 14 interceptions. The Eagles finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs, which led the firing of Kelly.

Bradford’s new head coach, Doug Pederson, sounded open to the idea of bringing the quarterback back.

“I think Sam is a top-notch quarterback,” Pederson said. “He would fit perfectly in the system we’re going to bring here.”

$25 mil a year can get you a lot of talent and the Eagles sure could use it thanks to Kelly purging the roster.  With their draft pick the Eagles could easily grab or even trade up a little bit to secure Jared Goff or Paxton Lynch.  Financially paying Bradford this money just doesn’t make sense, but if he can get that money then all power to him.

A great man once said, “In life you never get what you deserve, you get what you can negotiate.”
