Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagle

[Rome]

Buried in Spadaro's piece was this...

The Eagles announced on Saturday that they traded Bradford to Minnesota for, hang on here, a first-round draft pick and a fourth-round pick in 2017.

Umm...

damn i had like 9 texts and got nervous that someone died or something. this was much better. smell ya later sammy, there is not a single bad thing about this.

Dont worry, IGY will be along shortly to "find" that bad thing about this and tell us all about it. Not to mention how terrible the Eagles are for making the trade.

I was just wondering if there was anyone who is an Eagles fan who could find fault in this

But I got faith in my boy Havas...even he can't fault this!

So that conditional 4th can go as high as a 2nd based on performance

Yeah, guess what isn't gonna happen.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah it's a third if they go to the nfccg and a second if they go to the SB

So yeah a fourth it is

Kind of hope the Vikes win the SB now.

Skoal Vikings!

That would put the puck at 32.  Nope. Break his leg on the first play from scrimmage.  Vikes go 6-10.  Eagles get top ten pick.   I get shteinfaced at the draft party.  Everyone goes home happy.  Except Bradford but he's a sullen bitch anyway so farg him.

Wow this team is going to be awful this season. I was already calling for 3-13 with Bradford. Good trade, though.

Not gonna lie I'm waiting for his contrarian negative silver lining on this one. I can't see one but he never ceases to amaze.

he thinks wentz sucks so im sure itll revolve around that

I wasn't nearly that pessimistic but I figured 6-10 would be a decent start considering they don't have a running back that can stay healthy or a wide receiver that can out-run me covering him.

I still think 8-8 is the absolute top this team can expect and in the NFC East that might just be enough.

But it would be a 2nd rounder in 2018!!

No seriously, you're right though. Was focusing entirely on the conditional pick and totally forgot what that would do to the #1. Thanks for setting me straight. You're a good Internet friend.

If the Eagles D is as good as I think it can be, I don't think they will be as bad as some people think. Teams with really good pass rushes rarely are horrible. The Eagles will struggle to score a lot of the season, but I think their D will keep them in every game, and Ryan Mathews is an underrated player. Control the clock with him if he can stay healthy. Plus the NFC East is pretty awful. If Kirk Cousins isn't as good as last season, the Eagles will be in the "playoff mix" through the last few weeks of the season IMO. Ultimately I still think they fall short, but I can't see a team with this defense going 3-13.
