Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagle

Hopefully he blows his brains out and we all move on.

On The Mike and Ike Show Friday afternoon, Barwin said that he expects the 28-year-old signal-caller, who has skipped voluntary workouts in hopes of getting traded, "to be back in the next week or two and to be the starting quarterback next year."

Those sentiments are certainly the company line that both Pederson and executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman have stuck to since making the trade. Barwin later expanded on the subject on Philly Sports Talk.

"You got to talk to [Bradford] and he'll say what he wants to say, but my feeling from talking to him was that he'll be here sooner rather than later," Barwin said on Comcast SportsNet." And obviously he'll be here when has to be here for mandatory camp."

Barwin also expressed that he and his teammates would welcome Bradford back, at least in part because they view the six-year veteran as the starter for the next season or two. It certainly seems that Bradford and Tom Condon don't feel that way, though. 

"I've had guys drafted in the first round behind me, they weren't the number two overall pick," Barwin said on CSN. "So it is different and we have to be honest about that, but it always comes down to how you perform and that's what I said to him. And if he plays well, everything will take care of itself."

also  he didn't contemplate retirement previously  because his rehab hurt...he contemplated it out of frustration and disbelief over injuring his knee immediately after returning from his first knee injury...players who have multiple major injuries often go thru this stage....he hadn't even started rehab yet

"because it hurt too much" was literally meant to be taken figuratively.

fair enough....but the retirement notion is ludicrous on its face....to then try and connect his previous knee injuries with his current roster issue as a way to support the narrative is far fetched to say the least

His retiring wouldn't be the worst outcome.

Watched Barwin on CSN this morning regarding Bradford. Barwin is Mr. Nice Guy, and even he called Bradford a bitch in his own way. He said something along the lines of he was the #1 pick, and he's never had to deal with adversity. Every year there's been a guy drafted in the first round at my position, so I just dealt with it.

Self indulgent brat.

I don't think it's likely he'd retire but it wouldn't surprise me. Now you have players retiring just because they are afraid of concussions. Jake Plummer retired largely because he didn't want to compete for the starting position. Who knows what goes through a players head, but Bradford doesn't seem to have any competitive fire. He's painted himself into a corner though the Eagles are blowing him kisses to help the paint dry. He's a bit of a weird dude so who knows what he's thinking.

if he retired because of cte it wouldn't surprise me

if he retires and gives up 22 million cold hard cash that he just signed for 60 days ago because they eagles drafted another qb then it would completely shock me

coming back today

"I'm excited to be back on the field today with my teammates and coaches. The business-side of football is sometimes a necessary consideration. My attention and efforts are focused on the participation in and preparation for a championship season: I am committed to my teammates and the Eagles organization for nothing less."

Questionable to practice due to diaper rash

Well that was a lot of unnecessary bullshtein. Can we talk about how bad this team will be in 2016 now?
