The Eagles are seeking to punish him by trading him to the Jets. They supposedly had a preliminary discussion.

Kidding? Or honest report?

The Eagles can't seem to figure themselves out at this point.

Honest report. Jets were said to have contacted the Eagles. All preliminary.

EDIT: Well, you have my apologies. My memory is weakening. It was the Broncos calling.

#Broncos called the #Eagles on Sam Bradford. It was very preliminary, no compensation was discussed. PHI still not inclined to move him.

[Guiness]

In other QB news, does any player feel less wanted than Kaepernick? Talk about falling faster than a bowling ball rolling off a table.

NFL Network reporting the Eagles only want a 4th rounder

SAM BRADFORD.............DUDE MUST HAVE SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL

He was the last QB picked NUMBER ONE before the rookie cap....made a f'ckload of money....then the Eagles give him another shitpile....and he hasn't accomplished

jackshit

I also loved me some Nick Collins.

On his way to the HOF when prematurely derailed.

His pick in the SB will never be forgotten.

He loved to run with the ball after a pick.

[pbmax]

^ Loved his celebration after it too.

And then they threw the flag.

I would be shocked if Bradford doesn't end up on the Broncos.

[Bretsky]

me too; and Bradford would be a nice fit on the Broncos....IMO better than Kapernicker.......they'll end up trading a late 4th

good call

If Denver couldn't afford CK's cap number, how can they afford Bradford's? The Jets makes way more sense. They can give the money to Bradford instead of Fitzpatrick, and Bradford won't feel like he's looking over his shoulder with Gino Smith as the backup.

every time something sounds good, someone drops the cap on my ass.

If Philly trades him after June 1, they have 5.5 against the cap this year and next. Trade before and it's 11 mil. 12.5 mil if they keep him. So either they keep him or they trade after June 1. Assume team that picks him up would have the 12.5 mil cap figure this year. That is a lot.

[pbmax]

Bradford got $11 mil in bonus and has a $7 mil salary this year. Broncos would only owe the $7 mil. He has a $4 mil roster bonus next year and $13 mil in salary for 2017 the there is no guarantee he will see (cap hit to release for Eagles is $5.5 mil). Bradford wants longer term and more early money and there is only one year that needs to be dealt with by new team.

Kaepernick got paid $12 mil in signing bonus the Broncos don't have to fork over and the contract is year by year. But he does get $11.9 mil in salary in 2016. Broncos don't want a 5 year deal on the books at that pay rate, CK has limited incentive to reduce it.

[mraynrand]

I don't enjoy thinking about the cap

If I cared enough, I would try to dig up the old thread where the naysayers were saying how Kap and his ilk were going to change the face of the NFL forever, blah blah blah. This was during SF's NFCCG run under whats his face. Fast forward a couple of years and the guy is barely employable.
