GG Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Some people wanted the Bills to trade for him last year. That was with EJ as the returning QB and pre-Cassell & Tyrod. If rumors are to be believed Bills inquired about Bradford, but Rams wanted a QB in return and apparently wanted no part of EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 if he plays well and they make the playoffs or more, they will get rid of him? I doubt it. Does he not think that scenario is possible? Obviously not. Shows you what he thinks of his own abilities. Yeah, I get it but if they make the playoffs do they still sit Wentz/Goff for 2 -3 years?

QB of the future starts when they want him to. Sam is right to want out because he'll be shown the door at some point. Why not try and find a place that'll commit to you long term?

BarleyNY Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I get it but if they make the playoffs do they still sit Wentz/Goff for 2 -3 years?I think it's Wentz. This was taken the evening of the 19th and the trade was announced on the 20th. The deal was probably already agreed upon and with the league for approval.https://mobile.twitter.com/JoshNorris/status/722440498212904960 Bradford has a huge salary next season and he's been so fragile I'd think the expectation is that they move on, but a lot could happen. Like you say, Bradford could stay healthy and light it up or maybe Wentz doesn't look ready. Or some of both.

NoSaint Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Overpriced backup caliber QB. Is he afraid to compete for the starting job or something? when they take a qb #1 its no longer competing for a starting job, its "doesnt he want to see how long til he is benched regardless of how he plays" short of an MVP year, the dude is going to lose the starting job, even if hes the better player.

I'm sure most teams would love to do that (and Wentz absolutely needs it) but it's a results-driven business. That type of investment needs to bear fruit at some point, especially if the on-field product isn't good. Fans get antsy, ownership gets testy. I don't see them holding off as long as they probably need to. I hope they do for Carson's sake, just can't see patience being a virtue. I get why Sam would feel the need to look elsewhere. It's not long ago that the Eagles made a big commitment to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTO Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sam Bradford "demanding" anything in the NFL is HILARIOUS! Dude has lucked his way into a huge bank account for absolutely no reason. If I were him, I'd be laying low and counting on the same blind luck to help me out again. Well said. Dude is lined up for a possible shot at the playoffs or maybe even beyond.

3rdand12 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) They may have told him something different before he came back to the team. No doubt he would have had other offers. Bradford was decent last year and considering RG3 who hasnt played in two years is currently a starter and so is Geno Smith and mark Sanchez, he could have made a pretty penny elsewhere He is making a pretty penny now ! and he does not need any more money unless he is going on fifty year speedball binge. Take your millions of dollars and act like an adult. They've just paid a king's ransom for Carson Wentz. There is no competition. QB of the future starts when they want him to. Sam is right to want out because he'll be shown the door at some point. Why not try and find a place that'll commit to you long term? He's lost enough time to injury, why should he want to waste more time on the bench if he can start elsewhere? start long term? he signed a two year with the Eagles before the trade. and how old is he anyways?

Utah John Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The Eagles are cleaning house. They've given up too much to move up in the draft, to have enough talent coming in to offset their recent losses. There's no way that Bradford will be a winner this year, even if he plays well, with the poor supporting cast around him. However, that also means that putting a rookie out there isn't going to work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Haha. Yeah, I'm sure teams are going to be falling o wr themselves to get Sam Bradford. It's hilarious what a difference a year makes. Some folks loved him on here. One of the most overrated Qbs there has been in a long time. He has done nothing of note, is made out of glass, & looks like a little boy in shoulder pads. He should just shut up and play for much more money than he deserves. Secretly is probably hoping he can be a backup so he won't get hurt and get paid a ton.

Luxy312 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 First, I don't care what Bradford wants. He can sit out of camp all he wants. He'll just be giving up as much as $1.375 million of his signing bonus this season. So is he going to pout and not show up because the Eagles traded for their QB of the future? Doubtful. Second, please find me the team that represents the trading partner. He's guaranteed $7m this season and $4m next, with the possibility of that $4m becoming $13m if he remains the starter. To boot, he has a roster bonus of $4m. So $7m is his cost this year and next it's $17m. Add to that the fact that the Eagles would have to eat an additional $5.5m in bonus proration this year 2106 compared to their $9.8m in cap space. Makes absolutely ZERO sense, and even less than that on the Bills roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Bledsoe never proved anything in the NFL?? Not the trail I was going down.

Why? Lynch isn't all that great of a prospect and will take years to develop at best. And if he is all that, someone will take him in the top-7. Unless he retires, I'm not sure a player can just simply give back money. A player can quit, team can demand money and player can agree to do so with condition that they not put player on "Retired/Reserved" List.
