Please say it isn't so

You do know that the Eagles only gave up Foles, a 2015 4th and a 2016 2nd to get him, right? What did he show last year to gain draft pick value?

He isn't coming off two straight years of ACL injuries. I think that Denver would give up 31 in a second for Bradford.

If Bradford goes to Denver, another Donkey SB will occur.

Can't wait to hear Wings take on this and how wonderful things will work out now that we "have our franchise QB" of the future.

Nick foles at the time was considered a decent starting quarterback. Plus a 2nd rd pick. I would think by himself a late first would be fair imo.

You cry baby's have no clue!!! This is the move that had to be made and I've been telling you all for months!!! You should be happy as pigs in shit that I was wrong on the compensation. We get to keeper Fletcher Cox! So kudos to Howie for not having to include our best defensive player in the deal. You can bet there's a deal in place probably with Denver for Sammie Sleeves. When you have an opportunity to go up and get a franchise Qb you do it, period. You lose on 100% of the chances you don't take! For the record our best draft picks are the ones we trade up for! Get on board! It's a great day in Philly!

I don't think the Broncos are interested at that cost. They still haven't pulled the trigger on Kaepernick, who is pretty much a slightly better version of Bradford.
Kaepernick- 59.9 % completions, 7.37 YPC, 88.5 QB Rating
Bradford- 60.1% completions, 6.45 YPC, 81.0 QB Rating

I told you it was gonna happen... I was just wrong on the compensation.

I hate this deal. Honestly, it is hard for me to swallow this until things start to fall.

Bradford just dropped to a fourth. We have 0 leverage.

The one thing that I am thinking about here is this is as much about the salary cap as anything. They will gain something in the area of 14 million for 2017 when they deal Bradford (either before or after this season). That will give them the flexibility to resign Fletcher Cox. Which I was trying to figure out they could do that.

It is 4/20 and all....

Why would you say that? The price will be the price and the market will set it. The one thing about this there are always multiple teams looking for starting quality QB's. As long as Sam stays healthy he will bring back a nice return after this season.

Ryan Fitzpatrick proved last season that he is a starting QB in this league, but he can't find a job right now.

 

[Wings]

I think Bradford was traded first

 

[EKA]

Eagles hit the pipe hard for 4/20. We give up a mid 3rd, probably a top 10 1st next year along with another 3rd and a 2nd in 2018. All for 1 player who hasnt even played against the best college players let alone nfl caliber players.

They better be right on this because they've given up a ransom for it.

The cost we paid is about what I thought it would be when I was running some scenarios in my head the past couple of days - I'm mixed on this trade; I felt we were in a good position where we were, but I understand the move and I actually give kudos to Roseman for making a decision and having the balls to do it. I'll feel a bit better if Goff goes first and Wentz is the guy we end up with; I like him more. Whether you like this move or not, this is BOLD.

I'm also thinking that maybe Roseman wouldn't have made this move unless he has something in store for Sammie B too - if we can somehow pry 31 away from Denver for SB, it will make this move a little easier to swallow. Don't rule out the Jets either, but 20 might be too high a price - maybe their 2nd this year and a pick next year sounds more realistic.

Just a thought - I know the pick is going to be whatever QB the Rams don't take, but can you imagine the reaction if we took Ramsey or Tunsil instead?!!?

Teams don't keep a starter when they draft one at 2 and sign high price backup. Way too many resources at QB.

 

[greenwing]

we just ransomed the future for a QB from N Dakota St

 

[Caliskinsfan]

If they trade Bradford

 

[Iggloo]

I like these QBs but it is a steep price to pay, and I personally concluded Wentz was worth a big trade up but Goff maybe not. So I am torn right now.

One good sign though: If Cleveland thinks you can't play QB, it probably means you are going to win Super Bowls.
