IF THE EAGLES had conducted an organization-wide blood pressure check in late April, right after Sam Bradford asked to be traded, Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson's systolic and diastolic numbers both would have bordered on stroke level.
And Chris Givens' numbers probably wouldn't have been very far behind.
The 26-year-old wide receiver signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in March for several reasons, not the least of which was the opportunity to be reunited with Bradford.
The two played together in St. Louis for a season-and-a-half in 2012-13 and made beautiful music together until Bradford suffered back-to-back ACL injuries that caused him to miss the final nine games of the 2013 season and all of 2014.
