Boy, 's got it tough. If only this kid could catch a break.You have to really feel for him, suddenly desperate for a trade but having virtually no trade value even before he starting whining and crying about leaving Philadelphia. I mean, there was scant interest in him as an impending free agent, and somehow he found it in his heart to accept $22 million guaranteed from the with unrestricted free agency just days away. And now those heartle s bastards in Philly have the indignity to trade up for the right to select, say, a quarterback project out of North Dakota State who might or might not be ready to start in 2017.Of course, Eagles GM
Sam Gagner Men Jersey Howie Roseman also publicly declared Bradford as their Week 1 starter for this season. But how could they try to look after the long-term future of their franchise at the same time Big Game Bradford is already atop the depth chart? The temerity of it all! Aw, life isn't fair!I would throw a temper tantrum too, Sam.I mean, how can Bradford not be irate when he, of his own volition, just two months ago, opted not to further test the free-agent waters and signed a deal that will pay him $18 million this season and ? I mean, sure, this new guaranteed money will bring his career earnings to a cool $100 million since being the first-overall pick in 2010, but a dollar doesn't go as far as it used it. And, yeah, of all quarterbacks to enter the league since 2010, only has made more coin, and despite never sniffing the playoffs in his life, and having a lifetime mark of 25-37-1. Yet after getting hurt yet again last season, Philadelphia was still willing to make him the eighth-highest compensated quarterback in the for 2016. But I totally understand why he and agent Tom Condon would
Henrik Sedin Women Jersey be all up in their feelings and angry over such inhospitable treatment.Boo-(bleeping)-hoo.Let's get a few things straight: If there was anything approximating a market for Bradford it was Condon's job to find it before the start of free agency. News flash -- no one was clamoring for him then, outside of Philadelphia, and no one is now. If Denver or the Jets or Sam's buddy Chip Kelly out in San Francisco or whomever else (um, the Rams?) wanted Bradford, then Condon could have cashed in the huge money being thrown at marginal quarterbacks back in March. It was his job to gauge the market, and he and Bradford knew exactly what type of contract they were signing and what bargain they were making.And they did indeed cash in. Back in Philadelphia. Where he would still be the starter, same as it always was. And, having just given Bradford an $11 million signing bonus, the Eagles would have to be even bigger fools trying to trade Bradford now than they were for signing him in the first place. Good luck dealing him even if they wanted to, because who is taking on Bradford now, especially now that he's wearing the malcontent crown?Roseman already pulled off miracles in getting anything for and and their horrible contracts. Bradford's boondoggle of a deal makes those two look like relative bargains. The Jets don't want him. And, being owed at least $11M million over the next two years, I'd be surprised if Denver wanted him. And who would give up anything of value for him? Especially at a time when droves of young, cheap quarterbacks are about to be selected in the draft in a few days.Cheap labor is a coming, and unproductive. Often-hurt labor is not en vogue, even at the quarterback position. Because if it was, trust me, Bradford and Condon would have taken the more money wherever they could get it. This is busine s, folks, and that's why
Oscar Fantenberg Kids Jersey they ended up back in Philadelphia in the first place. Condon's agency represents and as well -- you don't think they had unique insight into the free agent quarterback cla s?Please. Spare me.It's beyond ludicrous to be asking for a trade now (takes some audacity from Condon after just willingly and eagerly agreeing to this deal not even two months ago), and this is a me s for all involved. Condon's reputation is above these kind of tactics, and one thing Bradford did always having going for him prior to all of this was an unimpeachable character and easy-to-root for persona. "I can't believe Condon is actually doing this," said one high-ranking team official. "I don't understand it at all. This is not the way he operates. Bradford needs to keep his mouth shut with all of the money he is being paid. It's not like he signed a long-term deal. At most it's a two-year deal. Come on, what were his expectations when he signed? He needs to shut up and show up and show he can play and try to set himself to get paid again somewhere else. He's going to skip mini-camp? Really? No one is going to come out of this looking good, now. Not them or the Eagles. The only way he can create a market for himself is by playing and playing well. Not by asking for a trade."The Eagles always should have transitioned Bradford, let him see what was or wasn't out there, and gone from there. This is not rehashing the past. This was my well-established stance back then. And, as I said back then, if after two weeks on the transition tag he didn't have any real money on the table, I would have yanked the offer, put two years, $15 million on the table and said take it or leave it. Instead,
Cole Cassels Jersey the Eagles rewarded him (for what, I'm really not sure) well beyond his worth, they made it clear that signing Bradford and did not take them out of the quarterback market in the draft, and they also made it clear it was Bradford's job even after making the trade.Only, he's never had to fight for a job in his profe sional life, and even now, faced with the most middling of competition, he wants to take his ball and go home. He basically signed a huge one-year deal, and the Eagles are going to draft a kid they don't even expect to play anytime soon in Carson Wentz, and still this has Bradford and Condon all in a tizzy? Weaksauce. Lest you have forgotten Bradford's body of work in the NFL, let me refresh your memory.The quarterback-deficient Rams, of all teams, decided to cut lo ses and finally peddle him on, after drafting him first-overall and paying him over $60 million (to the point where their desperation for a QB led them to now mortgage the future to move up from No. 15 to 1 for a far-from-sure-thing college kid, Jared Goff). They felt like -- Nick freakin' Foles -- was le s of a gamble at quarterback than Bradford. Oh, and Bradford has appeared in 21 of his team's last 48 regular season games.As a further review, here is part of what I wrote back in early March, after the Eagles stuffed his pockets full of millions
Tyler Graovac Jersey again: "To give Bradford a 33 percent raise over his $13.5 million salary in 2015 (the final year of his bonus-baby rookie contract from the old CBA) in a year in which the team fell well below expectations and in which he ranked 26th in rating, 25th in yards per attempt and threw 19 touchdowns to 14 interceptions and tied for the fourth-most turnovers i
