Eagles Make another Bold Move and Bradford isn't Happy about it!
It's been a crazy and wild eight days for the Philadelphia Eagles. First, last Wednesday the Eagles traded with the Cleveland Browns to move up to the second overall pick. They swapped their first round picks this year, Browns go to number 8 and Eagles go to number 2. They also gave the Browns a third and fourth round pick (this year, 2016), first round pick (2017) and second round pick (2018). The Eagles get the Browns a fourth round pick for next year too.

#Eagles have agreed to a trade with the Cleveland Browns to acquire the second-overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

This was a bold move by the Eagles trading to the second pick in the draft. They did this to draft their franchise Quarterback which most likely gonna be Carson Wentz from North Dakota State. There's a small chance it could be Jared Goff from California.
Well on Monday, there were reports by ESPN's Adam Schefter that Sam Bradford who just signed a new two year deal wants to be traded after the Eagles traded to move up for a QB.
Meanwhile, #Eagles QB Sam Bradford didn't show up for workouts today & his agent Tom Condon asked for a trade, as @AdamSchefter said

#Eagles were blindsided by Sam Bradford's trade request, but have not budged on their view: He is their starter. That remains the case.

My take is that they need to trade him if they can find somebody that wants him. The biggest problem is that there's not that many teams that want him. There's one team that probably wants him and that's the Denver Broncos but they won't give what the Eagles are asking for.
#Broncos called the #Eagles on Sam Bradford. It was very preliminary, no compensation was discussed. PHI still not inclined to move him.

"He (Sam Bradford) has not responded to anyone, included the coaches" @caplannfl on the #Eagles QB

Finally, I don't see Sam Bradford being under center for under team come week one of the 2016 season in September. I believe he will be the starting QB for the Eagles in week one against the Cleveland Browns, unless he refuses to play and doesn't show up for mini-camp and OTA days in May and training camp in July. If he comes back in July for training camp it's gonna be really weird to come back. What he needs to do is come back and say sorry to the team and to the fans then all could be forgiven, if not it's gonna be hard for him to play in this city this season if he came back in July. Let's say he comes back in July for training camp and starts the season the first interception he throws he will get booed off the field in a blink of an eye.
I don't want him back at all and hope that the Eagles find someway to trade him but as I said I don't see that happening as there's really no teams willing to give up what they want in return. I never liked him but was gonna to give him a chance this season but not anymore I want him gone and never to put on a Eagles jersey ever again. However, if he comes back he better play his heart out to win the fans back.
Thanks for Reading!
