Bradford for Foles??

[ozarkram]

Grantland thinks the Rams should go after Revis with the savings from Bradford's contract

Heard that too.

Only guys currently rumored are Justin Blalock at G and Wiz at C. I could see the Rams signing both and Barksdale and going into the draft thinking about the future.

Robinson, Saffold, Wiz, Blalock, Barksdale. Its not sexy but it could work

What's Seattle going to do at Center now? I bet they have some draft pick up their sleeve. I'll laugh if it's the kid from Harvard.

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams and Philadelphia Eagles made a trade Tuesday afternoon. You probably already heard about it as the foundation of it was a swap of quarterbacks. Sam Bradford to the Eagles in exchange for Nick Foles.

What followed was a lot of information that left a lot of people -- including yours truly -- scratching their heads on how exactly the accompanying draft pick compensation works out.

After getting some confirmation from the appropriate parties, here's the trade in all its glory (?).

Rams get: QB Nick Foles, 2015 fourth-round pick, 2016 second-round pick

Eagles get: QB Sam Bradford, 2015 fifth-round pick

None of the above picks are conditional. Those are set in stone.

Here's the conditional part:

If Bradford plays less than 50 percent of the snaps in 2015, the Eagles get a 2016 fourth-round pick from the Rams.

If Bradford does not play this season, the Eagles get a 2016 third-round pick from the Rams.

If Bradford plays more than 50 percent of the snaps in 2015, the Eagles get no additional picks.

So, for those keeping score at home, before the league announces compensatory picks at the NFL owners meetings, the Rams now have picks in the following rounds for the 2015 NFL draft:first, second, third, fourth (from Philadelphia) and seventh (from New England).


Here's the complete trade breakdown guys

4 years and 19 million is about right for Wiz.

Is it a done deal?

Whoever it is, he wont be able to block Aaron Donald and we have Ogletree to cover Graham so the Rams should be fine

Well all I know is for quite a while now you could give us a diamond and we would turn it into a turd. But I am stoked about this trade.

Careful Ozark. You can trash Sammie outside the Negativity thread not the Rams. I think you know better.

Yeah wondered about that after I posted. Guess thats why I mostly hang in the neg thread. Just happy too see the board popping again. Back to my place. Sorry.

Congrats on being on the winning end of the worst trade in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles franchise.

Enjoy Nick Foles. He is a class act. Better that he goes to a team that appreciates him.

Well thanks Iggloo. He will be highly appreciated. I know the Philly fans are pissed right now. I think Chip maybe packaging Bradford and picks to move up to get MM. So hang in. There might be more to this story as the draft rolls around. I am Flyers and Phillies fan so I know how things can get in Philly when things start to get really ridiculous.

The board can be popping but that doesn't mean you forget everything else. No worries for now.

Cap space has the Rams signing Kendricks back.

 

[UnrealTerm04]

I like Nick Foles... in philly. I hope he will succeed with out unknown offensive coordinator. I'm excited!

 

[Retroram52]

Good to see you made it out of abstentia ShaneC!

I can hear it now Blue...

Nick drops back.....

Hits Kendricks across the middle...

Touchdown Rams!​

So we have the possibilty of getting a second round pick, plus we get rid of a Qb who knows the medical staff better then his own teammates, save a bunch load of money and we get a better Qb. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming. Where is the downside?

 

[Battlelyon]

Christmas in March!

 

[Retroram52]

Very little on this deal. We got a great deal for a change.
