After two months of speculation and debate, the biggest question of the Eagles' offseason was answered Tuesday when quarterback Sam Bradford agreed to a two-year deal to stay in Philadelphia.
Bradford, 28, will sign a contract worth $36 million, with $26 million guaranteed, according to a league source. There is up to an additional $4 million in incentives.
The news broke just minutes after the NFL's 4 p.m. deadline to apply the franchise or transition tag, allowing both sides to reach an agreement that gives Bradford more guaranteed money than either tag would offer but keeps the Eagles from absorbing the major salary-cap hit or other obstacles associated with the tags.
