Sam Bradford’s two-week holdout represented a recent overestimation of worth equaled only by Ted Cruz naming Carly Fiorina as his running mate, less than a week before he bowed out of the presidential election.
Bradford’s state of delusion lasted slightly longer. The Eagles quarterback reported to voluntary workouts on Monday, two weeks after his agent, Tom Condon, requested that his client be traded.
Upset that the Eagles had traded up in the draft for Carson Wentz, Bradford had Condon wage a public campaign that garnered not only few trade offers, but also little sympathy for the 29-year-old.
