Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagle

[smeags]

It's that a reaction to a new chip story or just a statement overall ?

[ice grillin you]

its a reaction to giving up all they gave for half (i dont count the first half when he was still working his way back from injury) of a 7-9 season from a guy....ridiculous

the only saving grace is that chip is gone so you can at least justify a new regime letting him go

[SunMo]

i don't see any reason to let him go from a rebuilding standpoint.  you can turnaround in the NFL really quickly and Bradford is only like 28.  so if the new HC is good with Bradford i don't see a problem locking him up long term.

qbs are so hard to find and you have a good one right now.  you are a couple of guards and a competent wideout away from being a pretty good offense. 

[ice grillin you]

ive been on record for locking him up no matter who the coach is....im just saying it would be preposterously awful if the guy who engineered the trade didnt keep him

its more palatable if a new guy comes in studies his film and deems him not worthy or not the kind of qb he wants for his team

either way its going to be disgusting watching r2 (13) this year if hes not on the team

When asked if the Eagles were negotiating a new deal with Condon, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said, "Yes. Yeah."

Howie Roseman acknowledged that the Eagles and Bradford's camp are talking.

"It's never productive to talk about an on-going negotiation, but we've been pretty clear we'd like to have Sam back. It's along those lines. One of the great things about the Combine is you get everyone together in one place, so when you have pending free agents, you're able to talk to those representative face to face and eye to eye.

New 2 year deal?  2?

[phattymatty]

i don't even know whether to be happy or not. i guess it's one less thing to worry about.

seems  fair all around...doesn't lock the birds in long term to a guy who is still only one year removed from missing two straight years....and if he performs he's still way young enough to get a huge long term deal

Love this deal and kudos to Howie. Two years for a guy with an injury history, gives them time to either groom another QB while simultaneously seeing if Bradford can be the future.

No financial terms of the deal have been announced, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the deal is for $36 million and includes $26 million guaranteed.

$26M guaranteed is more than fair.  If my math is correct they just saved themselves $7M off the franchise tender and guaranteed him $6M more than he would have received with the tag.

I'm not sold on Bradford at all but he's better than any other alternative available. 

Let's just hope they do something with the savings by shoring up the O-Line and getting a receiver in there who is faster than IGY.

This looks like the perfect deal, all things considered.  2 years is exactly what they needed to do with Bradford. 

So far, I'm very pleased with Howie's ability to retain good players. I'm still scared shteinless about him running a draft, but for now, I'll give him some credit for doing a good job.

I'm assuming Sanchez gets cut too saving them $5 million. Really no reason to have him on the roster.

after this deal is complete I believe Sammy b will have made 115 million bucks in his career

[hungergames]Why would they cut their best QB?[/mockingjay]

And he'll have spent almost all of it on medical bills.
