Sam Bradford has great response to report about contract offer

“My gut feeling after seven games is that unless Sam Bradford has an epiphany, I don’t think he’s the guy for the future of the Philadelphia Eagles”, Jaworski said during an appearance on the Mike Missanelli Show on 97.5 FM The Fanatic.

There hasn’t been much talk about the Eagles signing quarterback Sam Bradford to a contract extension since the start of the regular season, but there was a report this week that Bradford had turned down a preseason offer that would have kept him in Philadelphia for the next four years.

According to Howard Eskin of WIP, the offer that came ahead of the season opener was worth about $18 million a year, or $72 million over four. Bradford turned the deal down, maybe because he didn’t want to be on the Eagles at the end of the year, or maybe because he thought he could get more.

Eskin added that Bradford’s agent was the driving force behind turning down the deal.

Sam Bradford may have cost himself a lot of money.

Bradford is 30th in QB rating and 31st in yards per pass attempt. He’s been a big reason that the Eagles have struggled, now sitting at 3-4 in the division, but still with a chance to get the division win since the leading New York Giants have a record of just 4-4.

Bradford, acquired by the Eagles from the St. Louis Rams in exchange for Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round pick, is in the final year of his original six-year, $86 million contract that pays him $12.9 million this season.

Bradford has been hardly good enough for an extension let alone one paying him this much.
