This just in... a little late
Sam Bradford
First off, I apologize
for being so late on this news of Sam Bradford being traded to the Minnesota
Vikings for a first and fourth round pick in this year’s upcoming draft. For Minnesota
this was a necessary move on their part. However other options were out there
like Mark Sanchez or Aaron Murphy that wouldn’t have costed them anything, the
Vikings went with the player they felt most comfortable with. Bradford is a
seasoned quarterback and has ran an offense in now two different cities. Not to
mention the arm talent that Bradford and the offense that was a part of a
playoff team last season. Keep in mind this isn’t the ultimate solution with
Teddy Bridgewater down for the next season and counting; Bradford is a
serviceable backup for the Vikings and can hopefully hold down the fort and
coast the storm by making the playoffs in the tough NFC North.
For Philadelphia on the
other hand they handle the ongoing quarterback revolving door that has been
Daniel/Bradford/Weintz and got a very nice return. Now let’s not blow this out
of proportion, the bid for Bradford had to be high to get him right away and
not wait for an answer. Minnesota obviously has playoff intentions and getting
Bradford keeps those hopes alive for the moment. The Eagles just answer a
desperation call and get retail price for a player Philadelphia has been
desperate to get rid of. We all know the relationship between Sam Bradford and
the Philadelphia Eagles, and well this is a divorce is a happy ending for both
parties. Philadelphia can fix the train wreck of a mistake in trading up and
drafting Weintz this past April and can continue their desperate rebuild
effort. And like I’ve already said Minnesota keeps playoff hopes alive and
well.
