Vikings acquire QB Bradford in trade with Eagles

Bradford will replace Teddy Bridgewater, who suffered a bad knee injury earlier in the week.

If Wentz really is what Pederson and the Eagles think he is, which is a guy worth five draft picks, including a future first-rounder, you’ll see a young man with a fast learning curve; a quick-study guy who doesn’t make the same rookie mistakes twice.

The Vikings add to a roster of mediocre quarterbacks by acquiring Sam Bradford from the Eagles for a 2017 first round pick and a 2018 fourth round pick. He was OC when St. Louis drafted me and was with me in Philadelphia a year ago. He must pass a physical before the trade is finalized.

Saturday, the Eagles traded their starting quarterback, Bradford, to Minnesota.

The Eagles released McLeod Bethel-Thompson, so they don’t have a third quarterback on the roster. The Vikings announced the deal for Bradford is pending a physical. “Bradford”™s contract does have an injury-only guarantee of $4 million for 2017. However, if Wentz steps in and can replicate the success of someone such as Jameis Winston last season, the Eagles’ defense finishes among the top-10 in the National Football League and this team wins a game that it shouldn’t, it is entirely possible that the Eagles reach the playoffs in 2016. The Vikings improved their line and have a group of young solid receivers and tight ends.

That’s one helluva haul by Eagles GM Howie Roseman, especially for an oft-injured, perennially under-performing, former No. 1 overall draft pick, whom the Eagles retained for 2016 merely to be a temp place-holder until this year’s No. 2 overall draft pick, Carson Wentz, is ready to play. Shurmur was Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator in 2015 and Bradford’s offensive coordinator in his rookie season with the Rams.

“At Oklahoma, Bradford won the Heisman Trophy and was a redshirt freshman during Adrian Peterson”™s final season with the Sooners. “We talked about the scenario and how hard it would be for use to trade our starting quarterback a week before the season and put us in this situation”. Bridgewater played extraordinarily well previous year getting his team to the top of the NFC North.

“Bradford might be able to give Bridgewater some advice on recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, since he”™s done it “” twice. A first and a second would be an impressive haul, and it’s not something Roseman expected to get from Spielman. The Vikings won the division past year with Bridgewater throwing just 14 touchdown passes – the hope is that Bradford can hold the fort down and manage games in a similar way. He fumbled 10 times, losing three.

With Sam Bradford out of the picture, the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly set to turn to rookie Carson Wentz as the starting quarterback this season. It was the fourth-best single-season total in franchise history.
