Maybe Eagles will swap Bradford for Manuel...


Recommended Posts

In the continuing saga of far fetched trade deals, I just wonder if the Eagles might be considering trading Sam Bradford to the Bills for EJ Manuel if Chip Kelly can not swing a deal to acquire Marcus Mariotta.

 

Despite what Chip Kelly says, many doubt that Bradford will ever wear an Eagles' uniform. He just does not fit the Eagles offense. Many think that the only reason Kelly made the trade is because he wants to use Bradford as a chip to acquire Mariotta.... Only time will tell if this works out, but if this deal falls through, perhaps the Eagles and Bills could do a another swap that would include Bradford for Manuel.

 

I seem to remember EJ saying on his draft day that the Eagles and Bills were among the teams that expressed the most intrest in him. Manuel's mobility would seem to make him a better fit for the Eagles offense... Also, there was plenty written a few weeks back about how the Bills were looking into a trade for Bradford... If true, this never worked out because the Bills didn't have much to offer and the Rams wanted Foles... Maybe the Bills and Eagles talked about such a trade earlier but Kelly was hesitant to pull the trigger because he still covets Mariotta....

 

This is just a theory, but the way things have gone this year, it wouldn't surprise me...

Why would they do that? They gave up Foles, and 2nd and a 4th for Bradford...you think they now will flip Bradford to us after giving all that up? Where do you people come up with this stuff?

The only way this happens is if Chip Kelly feels so guilty about how he bent over Whaley on the Kiko-McCoy trade and cannot live with himself so decides to try to make it up to us.

I personally am rooting for the kid (even though I expect Cassel to be starting)

 

It is in EVERYBODY's best interests if EJ comes out and lights it up

 

 

I think EJ will win the training camp battle... whether that is good enough is the mystery

I am expecting Matt Cassel to play like a starting but not spectacular QB

 

If EJ wins it.....to me that means he is playing above that threshold.

 

I'm kinda hoping sitting behind Orton last year was the catalyst to a better EJ this year. Got some veteran mentoring and got to just watched and learn some

 

Like you I'm pulling for the kid. His accuracy issues is my biggest concern

I am hoping that EJ is true to his word

 

When he got sat down he said if he ever got the opportunity he would start "slinging it"

 

To me that is the issue....EJ is never going to be pinpoint accurate.....but he has got to PULL THE TRIGGER
