The Market for Eagles Quarterback Sam Bradford

Last offseason, the Eagles acquired Bradford from the St. Louis Rams in a trade that had apparently been months in the making. The Rams received quarterback Nick Foles and a 2nd-round selection in the 2016 draft in return for their former number one overall draft pick.

Former Philadelphia head coach and short-lived personnel man Chip Kelly told reporters that once the Eagles completed the deal, an unnamed team called and offered a 1st-round draft pick for the rights to Bradford. It seemed, at one point last offseason, that Bradford was a valued piece.

Fast forward to the 2016 offseason; Bradford came off of a year in which he played less than 16 games yet again, and ultimately did not blow the doors off of the NFL.
