Sam Bradford asking for 25M yearly

[SJ76]

This is what he reportedly asked for--in preseason, when he was lighting it up and the Eagles made a desperate push to lock him up. He was probably dumb not to do a big deal then. There are rumors that he doesn't like Philly though and he may just be trying to break out of the city.

I remember. The preseason is when about 80% of the Eagles board was thinking 14-2.

And I said, Bradford is the best QB in the NFL during preseason and with the Red jersey on.

Where yous at? Seems everyone on tHoop tends to feel Bradford isn't all that.

Yep they will!

Or they might play it smart tag him, then maybe just maybe they get lucky drafting a QB this year that can be ready for 2017 when he walks....

There's a handful...and I mean a small handful of QBs that can command even $20 mil per on a long term deal. Tag him, draft his position this year, and be ready to transition in '17.

Bradford and a 3rd pick to the LA Rams for Nick Foles.

Case Keenum has that position locked up.

He's a very good QB.

Someone is gonna have to fall (QB wise) they don't have 2nd round cause of the trade for Bradford, but and this is a huge but, Foles is a FA, could get lighting in bottle twice if they can sign him..

I dont even know why they would tag him.

The Eagles should just admit they are in a full rebuild mode now and either draft a QB early or find a reclamation project like RGIII to start in 2016.

Overpaying Bradford in 2016 doesn't do the Eagle any good now or in the future. The only reason you tag someone is if you believe they have a long term value to your franchise and just can't figure out the right contract with the player and his agent. There should be no reason for the Eagles to think that Bradford is part of their long term plans.

This. Chip was handed a team with a lot of talent, and he shipped every last piece of talent out. Eagles should trade off anyone that isn't on a rookie contract and start over. I can't imagine the word "chip" isn't a curse word now.

Good points...the one I push back on is full rebuild mode...they were 2 games back with a 3-5 record @ home...4-4 on the road...there is talent on the 53...certainly enough to compete in the NFCE.

Personally...I like RG3 as an option as well...to start in PHI or HOU...but absent of that I need to bridge the gap. I'm with you that Bradford doesn't have to be in stone for '16.

If Pederson and Bradford have a meeting of the minds and he leaves that meeting feeling wanted, then buying a yr via the FA tag allows you to kick the tires. That's still a feather in the cap of the owners in the last CBA...expensive, but I would use it here....if Bradford really wants one last big deal on the why out, he should have a good season coming up.

Say hello to Chase Daniel, Eagles fans.

Where yous at? Seems everyone on tHoop tends to feel Bradford isn't all that.

For the record, I didn't drink that kool-aid. I was close to sipping it, but thankfully did not imbibe.

LOL......People are starting to realize what a joke Sam Bradford really is. Its amazing that he still thinks he's worth this amount of money. Just because he was drafted as the 'highest paid rookie ever"(under the old CBA) he continues to demand even a higher contract? His 5 years that he spent with the Rams only crippled the team from signing free agents. Then to top it off he couldn't even stay healthy! He should just retire and buy a secluded island somewhere in the tropics with all of the $$ that he stole from the RAMS.

Not to start the hole war of Bradford great/ sucks,

The latter part of the season he was starting to understand Chippers offense, granted there was a ton of dropped balls by wide receivers, ( hitting them in the hands) so that did play with his completion percentage, and I can understand Chippers thought process of trading for Bradford ( again he had Foles looking like a stud)
still I don't understand 25 million, he's high as a kite, I mean he didn't last a whole season again, so I can't justify paying him that much money.

[eaglesnut]

This was before the season. Probably after his 10--10 preseason game when his agent thought he might put up huge numbers this year.

Looking at some other contracts in the 20 range is realistic.

 

[eaglesnut]

Sanchez > Sam Bustford.

Go study Sanchez in the two games he started this year. Watch every play. Report back...

The Eagle fans are by far the most negative and doubting fans in the league. We boo our own team. No way 8% let alone your ridiculous 80% of Eagles fans said that. We are the exact opposite bro.

Someone is gonna give Bradford insane money. If it ain't the Eagles there about 15 other teams. That would give him 20+ million.

This can't be real. No freaking way

Report: Sam Bradford asked for $25M a year from Eagles in contract talks

The Browns maybe but then he would be cut when they find out he's a bag of injuries and not that special when he ain't....I don't think he will get near 25, 14-17 is my guess...

 

[eaglesnut]

You know what's even funnier? Pederson mentioned in his press conference that he was calling all of the offensive plays for the Chiefs in the second half from the Pittsburgh game on. But ask any Chiefs fan and they'll tell you that the offense would have great first halves, build a nice lead, then come out and stink it up in the second half. So basically Pederson took credit for the offense sucking.

2nd half of the season. Drrrp.

Pederson's team has never lost to anyone except the Patriots in Foxboro while calling plays. Don't forget to hear stuff correctly next time.

You were ONE who did resist the temptation to party over preseason.

I said 8-8 to 10-6 and a distant 2nd to Dallas. I don't remember any Eagle fan thinking this team would do anything. As I said... we are the most negative fan base in the league
