I ####### hope not

Yeah. That's the only way it works. So, I'm assuming if they make this deal....a deal for two will be close on its heels.

 

[comfortably numb]

I see he's collecting over drafted, failed QBs with Sanchez and Bradford.

EJ Manuel's phone is ringing right now

But there's no guarantee MM would fall to 6 OR another team wouldn't try to trade from 2-6 to get him.

I'm done with Chip Kelly if this is true.

When I saw news of the trade flash across the wire, I thought, "Yeah, I'd hate to give up Foles, but the Rams' 1st-rounder they'd have to throw in is high enough that I could convince myself."

The Rams must have some kind of hypnotic power over all the other teams GMs, because they keep frisking teams like WAS and PHI in these deals.

Rams ripped them off badly

Now get Foles some WRs

 

[Ron_Mexico]

Huge get for the Los Angeles Rams, absolutely huge.

I'm not going to judge this until I find out what it actually took to get Mariota.

If it's Foles and a 2nd to Bradford and it costs Bradford and next year's 1st to get Mariota it's good trade IMO.

 

[dkp993]

Wow. Brought in to back up Sam Bradford or compete for the starting position I liked, straight up trade not so much. Clears up tons of Cap space but wow....

 

[unckeyherb]

yeah I think there is no way Bradford is on this team tomorrow

 

[Prowler]

Sam Bradford is back with Pat Shurmur, Eagles OC who was Rams OC when Bradford was drafted and named Off Rookie of Year

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Has there ever been so many trades in the NFL before? This is insanely great!!!

Its a chiquita off season but with a happy

If theyre swapping 20 for 10 then this is step one to get Mariota in Philly.

 

[GoBirds]

If theyre swapping 20 for 10 then this is step one to get Mariota in Philly.

That's what I read plus another conditional pick to Eagles.

Did they?

NFL Network just showed a graphic that Eagles and Rams swap 1st-rounders in 2015. If confirmed, Eagles move up to 10.

That's a good deal for Philly if true. They basically paid cap space to move up 10 spots. Foles is a lot like Bradford, can't stay healthy.

 

[Bob Magaw]

NFL Network confirmed it involves a swap of first round picks and Rams will send unspecified conditional 2016 pick.

From 1.10, Kelly is in better position to make a move for Mariota?

Maybe Bradford should pack light (though I could easily see him staying, due to the Shurmur connection noted above).

 

[cstu]

Looks good for both sides.

Chip is one step closer to Mariota.

Foles is an upgrade to Bradford for the Rams.

 

[Billy Bats]

Or not:

@jthom1: I'm told by Rams that Bradford-Foles trade does NOT involve swap of first-round picks.

NFL.com says this:

Details are still being worked out, but Breer was told the teams will swap picks this year with a conditional Rams pick going to the Eagles in 2016.

 

[Bob Magaw]

Possibly confirming Billy Batts info, local STL journalist Jim Thomas reporting the QB trade does NOT involve a swap of first round picks. If so, that makes the Mariota trade up ammo theory less credible (cross-posted from Rams thread).

* NFL Network now reporting "unknown" 2015 picks (but Breer reported definitively NOT firsts).

I'm omniscient but even I don't know what the Philadelphia Eagles are doing.

 

[Prowler]

Doesn't deserve its own heading but Texans traded QB Case Keenum back to the St. Louis Rams for a 7th-round pick in 2016

 

[12punch]

bradford gets released ?

If they do that, the Bears should jump on that and sign Bradford.

Bradford isn't going anywhere. He was consulted in the hiring of the OC and the QB coach. You don't do that, ignore the backup QB as a vote of confidence the year before, and then suddenly do a 180 and can the guy.

The line is the Rams want Bradford but they need better options behind him than what they had last year with Hill and Davis. So if they get Foles, that what they'd have: one of the best backup QBs in the league. But just because you get a really good backup, you don't suddenly say "You know what? Let's scrap the entire plan and shoot from the hip." They have Bradford. If they trade for Foles, then they have Bradford and Foles. Then they either draft a guy in the 2nd or 3rd round (hopefully Grayson) or just go with Davis and see what a year's seasoning does for him. Then they have their #1 overall, a short-term fix in Foles and a long-term plan in their rookie/Davis. It's the plan that gives the Rams the most options going forward.

Also, whether this is true or not, the reason you are hearing about it is because of the negotiations to restructure Bradford to a more incentive-based deal. We got the whole schtick from the agent about how Cleveland wanted him and Buffalo wanted him. This is the counteroffensive. Bradford and his agent had been digging in their heels, but now that they see the Rams have a viable option in case they feel they can use that $13 mill elsewhere, now they have to budge.

ok

 

[Donnybrook]

How long is Bradford on Philly's roster? I have to think this is just the first stage of operation Mariota.

So this is Foles for a one year tryout of Bradford.

Breer said Rams trade Bradford and 2015 fifth to Eagles for Foles and 2015 sixth AND 2016 second.

The conditional part: IF Bradford fails to start eight games, PHI gets a 2016 fourth, and if Bradford is reinjured (language unclear, I assume a hangnail is excluded?), it becomes a third round pick. Pending clarification, it sounds like the Rams get the 2016 second regardless.

Absolutely abysmal.

Well what if Philly TRADES Bradford to move-up in the draft to land Mariota thus Bradford CAN'T be the Eagles starting QB this year?

Just the fact that the Rams are getting the better QB, and the draft pick edge makes this an imbalanced trade.

[shadyridr]

A trade like this usually gets called collusion and gets two or three owners ousted out of fantasy leagues

 

[Hang 10]

Why would a team want to give up a top 10 pick for gimpy Bradford and his bloated contract? I think Foles would have been better trade bait. I'm guessing chip's plan is to go into this season with Bradford as his starter.

Good point, I totally forgot about that aspect of the deal.

Just to mix metaphors and tie a bow on the nuts and bolts of the trade.

Final: #Eagles get Bradford, '15 5th. #Rams get Foles, '15 4th, '16 2d. If Bradford doesn't play 50+ pct/gets injured Eagles get '16 4th/3d

 

[NJ]

I still have no idea what the confirmed trade is.

Rams get Foles, 2015 4th, 2016 2nd

Eagles get Bradford, his contract, 2015 5th and could get a conditional 2016 pick back if Bradford doesn't play 50% of the snaps (It will be a 3rd if Bradford does not play at all; and a 4th if he starts less than 50 percent of plays.)
