Sam Bradford got the kind of endorsement from Chip Kelly Monday that Nick Foles never got during his red-hot 2013 run to the playoffs.
Kelly had just finished extolling the benefits of having a quarterback who is experienced in your offense, when he was asked if that applied to his outlook on Bradford, brought in from the Rams for Foles and a second-round draft pick last March.
"We've always wanted Sam here. We wouldn't have traded for him if we thought he was going to be here for (only) a year," Kelly said.
It has been reported that the Eagles tried to work out a longterm extension for Bradford before the season but were unsuccessful.
