Report: NFL executive questions hype around Sam Bradford

The Philadelphia Eagles made a head-turning offseason move when they acquired Sam Bradford from the St. Louis Rams in exchange for Nick Foles, but one NFL executive is surprised at something else: Why do we care so much?

According to Mark Eckel of NJ.com, “one of the league’s top executives” said he doesn’t understand the hype around the oft-injured quarterback:

“I understand they gave up on Foles. But I don’t know why they’re building up Bradford so much. I’m still confused about that whole deal. You can only talk about him being the first pick of the draft (in 2010) for so long.
