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

Definitely not clear to me what the plan is. I thought that the McCoy for Alonzo trade makes some sense, since Philly needs defensive help and Alonzo is very promising. Letting Maclin go figures to be a pretty big loss. I happen to think that Bradford might succeed in Kelly's offense, but his durability is certainly questionable.

The plan is going balls out for Mariota, clearly.

The reported parameters are the Rams trading #10 overall pick in 2015, Bradford and a conditional 2016 pick for Foles and #20 overall pick in 2015.

The risk Chip is apparently willing to take here is, trading Foles BEFORE having a deal in place to trade to #1 or #2 for Mariota.

The man has huge balls. And yes, possibly out of his mind crazy.

I wouldn't bet against Bradford but I'm still having a hard time seeing him any better there than Foles

That makes some sense. Might still need to move up past 10th in order to get MM, though.

All the reporting seems a little sketchy so we shall have to see what the terms actually are. People still reporting different things out there.

I swung to the otherside & now hate this trade for the Rams. The Rams lose a 2nd & swap 1st round picks.

You gotta remember that Philly is also taking Bradford's huge cap number, and trading a guy with a small cap number. So Rams get cap relief.

Desparation trade if true. Foles shouldnt have value

I knew Rams were gonna move Bradford... I think they did a good job here... IF Bradford can stay healthy he's obviously pretty talented... BUT can he stay healthy... That's the key....

It's cap relief for a single season. They could have just as easily cut Bradford & got the same cap relief. Now instead, they lose 10 spots in the draft & a 2nd round pick for what is essentially just a healthy version of Bradford.

Foles isnt going to hit any conditional value so that is moot

I would bet my house, truck, boat that Bradford is not good at all. As usual

Hmm, so lets just wait a bit to see what is actually being traded.

This trade makes no sense. Chip Kelly is lost.

This trade doesn't make much sense to me. Bradford also doesn't seem like a good fit in the system. Maybe they are going to try to move him on for more picks?

Looks like the Rams will be rolling with Foles and Keenum. 2nd round pick swap is ok but im not sold on Foles

I'm shocked, didn't see this one coming at all. I suppose they were in talks once he said he didn't want to restructure. I didn't pay much attention to Foles last year so not sure how I feel about this trade. I still want to have some QB competition coming in.
