Sam Bradford traded to Philadelphia for Nick Foles+picks

[Fountain City Blues]

True. He's shown signs of it, but at any rate they did upgrade over what they had last year at the very least.

We'll see. STL definitely doesn't have the firepower Philly did surrounding the QB on offense.

Again correct, but they do have some talented, young weapons to throw to. Maybe not the house hold names Philly had the last two years, but they have some guys that could breakout with a halfway competent QB.

I wonder if Philly started this off with a phone call to the Rams

Chip- "Hi, would you consider Foles for Bradford?"

Rams - (laughter in background) "and?"

Chip - "We'll throw in a 6th round pick."

Rams - (damn, I though he wanted a pick from us) "I'm not sure about a 6th, you got something else?" Tells assistant to get paperwork done as fast as he can, like right freaking now...

Chip - "I think that's about it."

Rams - "Well, alright, but remember that you owe us since you're winning this one." (winks to assistant)

Pretty surprising trade. I remember watching Bradford play a couple of years ago in a game where he was pretty much running for his life each time he dropped back. He was still consistently making good throws, but his receivers were also dropping them.

Foles seems to me like a pretty good fit for St. Louis, though I am not sure that he is as good as some people seem to think after he played so inordinately well a couple of years ago.

Interesting to see how it all plays out. Seems that this ends speculation that Philly trades up for Mariota.

That's cool, but isn't Foles going to St Louis.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Wait, I'm confused. Pick compensation is going to which team??? I've seen multiple tweets contradicting each other.

Thanks for bringing to my attention my typo.

Sounds like a swap now, rounds unclear. Conditional to Philly next year.

I've read the Rams are getting a pick.

According to this, the Rams get at least one pick from Philly.

I hate to see Foles dealt. Class act who has and could again put up elite numbers. But now the full extent of Chip's hard-on for Mariota becomes clear. I suspect they swapped firsts. What other compensation was involved, we will have to see.

Looks to me like the Rams are in better position to trade up for MM.
I do not understand Chip. Both QB's are on their last year of their contracts and Chip is going with Sanchez.
Guess it;'s all about the system with Chip. Good luck selling that to NFL players

Oh dear Jesus could it finally be true?!!!


This may be one of the happiest days as a Rams fan..

You think so? Seems to me that if he was prepared to deal Foles plus at least one pick for Bradford, then Chip must have some belief that Bradford is capable of running his offense.

If the swap of firsts is true, this is definitely not the case.

Some on here called him a racist so he traded for a Native American?

 

[Cave_Johnson]

So....who's the starter in Philly now? Gonna look real bad if Sanchez out performs Bradford and wins the starting job.

to tell you the truth...I have no clue what Chip is doing and I'm finding it hard to see how they've improved

 

[Iggloo]

One interesting observation: maybe this makes the decision to unload McCoy and his cap number more clear, if they knew they would be taking over Bradford's cap hit as part of a trade.

did not hear a swap of 1st...just that the eagles threw in a pick
