Nick Foles to the Rams for Bradford

[djohn2oo8]

Per schef

[Robz4000]

Irrelevant trade, unless it means the Eagles' starting QB is the Sanchise going forward :lol...

[spurraider21]

i'm a believer in Bradford... but eagles have shit for weapons right now

Bradford is done as an NFL player.

[Avante]

What a dumbass move.

[Shane27]

god damn it I'm pissed. I was fine with the shady trade and not paying maclin, but this trade is straight up retarded. Especially since we are giving up a pick. I hope this somehow is part of another move, but I don't know who would want to trade for Bradford.

[Blake]

Doesn't Chip's offense rely on at least a semi mobile QB?

why any owner would give a college coach this much power is beyond me. He's ruining the Eagles in a very bad way.

[Spur-Addict]

If I'm a Rams fan I actually don't mind this at all. I'd be happy about it.

[Aztecfan03]

Of course. It's the Eagles fans that hate it.

[Shane27]

The two teams are apparently swapping 1st rounders in the trade so the eagles will have the 10th pick. Looks like they are trying to package that with bradford to move up for mariota.

I Would take foles over bradford at this point. to add a draft pick on top of that? i don't understand it.

that makes some sense. it's still stupid but at least there is a pick going to the eagles too.

[Holden_Caulfield]

does this mean no mariota? :cry

[Spur-Addict]

Of course. It's the Eagles fans that hate it.

Yeah I don't see the logic in this. But who knows.

[spurraider21]

does this mean no mariota? :cry
they managed to move up 10 spots in the draft. potentially more ammo for a mariota trade

it usually takes a lot to move up 10 spots in the first round. eagles managed to dump a qb they didnt want anyway in order to do so

[hehateme]

oh man, lol

[Shane27]

does this mean no mariota? :cry

No, this actually means that there is a greater chance we land Mariota. Not sure how he'll do in the NFL, but at this point I guess it's worth a shot.

i'll take this years first and 3rd and next years first and 3rd. do it chip.

[Blake]

And the thing is...off the field, Mariota is stand up, but he's Johnny Lite on the field, imo

QB Andrew Luck
RB Frank Gore
WR T.Y.Hilton
WR Andre Johnson

Looks good on paper.

but you guys have barkley, sanchez and bradford :lol thats like 3 carbon copy of one qb :lol

[Shane27]

Tell me about it.

[Blake]

QB Andrew Luck
RB Frank Gore
WR T.Y.Hilton
WR Andre Johnson

Looks good on paper.

Gore is a question mark, but barring injury Luck has no excuse not to have a top three offense.

[mojorizen7]

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

— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) March 10, 2015

Like this deal alot more if this is true. Jim Thomas is pretty reliable about Rams Park. I don't believe in Foles, but if Rams can retain their #10 pick, dump Bradford and sign a few quality FA then this deal is a no brainer for St Louis.

Rams have cleared a TON of caproom in the last 24 hrs. Releasing Jake Long, Scott Wells and now trading Bradford.
About $27 million.

It makes absolutely zero sense if eagles don't get anything more than bradford.

probably to the jets.. i agree with your statement

[Shane27]

well if we aren't swapping first rounders then fuck chip kelly.

[mojorizen7]

There is draft pick compensation going to Philly, but it looks like not a swap of this years 1st rounders as was being reported earlier, which would have been pretty stupid on the Rams part.

[mojorizen7]

Eagles acquire QB Sam Bradford and a 2015 fifth-round pick for QB Nick Foles, a 2015 sixth-rounder and a 2016 second-rounder.

Chip Kelly is officially a moron.

[Aztecfan03]

yep. terrible trade.

[mojorizen7]

:lol

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms on a trade that will send quarterback Nick Foles, a fourth-round draft pick in 2015 and a second-round pick in 2016 to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for quarterback Sam Bradford and the Rams' fifth-round pick in 2015.

[Spur-Addict]

2nd round pick as well? :lmao Jeff Fisher pulling off another trade rape.

[Aztecfan03]

:lol

the draft picks being reported keep changing and this is the worst yet.

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol when did bradford become better than foles?

[mojorizen7]

the draft picks being reported keep changing and this is the worst yet.

I would imagine there are conditions attached to these picks, depending on Bradford's health, production. Has to be.

for once i agree with him.

[Aztecfan03]

the only pick that is possible with is next year's 2nd. Assuming that goes away or turns into a 7th. Foles + 4th is >>> Bradford + 5th

[mojorizen7]

AdamSchefter: Eagles will surrender 2016 2nd-round pick to Rams in QB trade no matter what. But will get back a conditional 2016 pick from Rams. It will be a 3rd if Bradford does not play at all; and a 4th if he starts less than 50 percent of plays.http://t.co/xdhr2CLpWD

[JMarkJohns]

If Arizona gets AP then NFC West will canibalized itself.

Division winner might not get 10 total wins.

Not going to lie, this concerns me very much.

[JMarkJohns]

They have to. No amount of depth will give them the nudge over the edge for the division after Foles answers the Rams most glaring need, and Graham adds kryptonite to an already difficult to stop offense.

They need depth, yes, but they need a stud on offense.

Iupati and Cooper downhill blocking for AP is about as ideal as it gets.

Turn Ellington into slot WR and breather RB.

Then address defense in draft. Maybe another OL.

[Sean Cagney]

Chip Kelly is officially a moron.

He is ruining that team very fast. I thought he had something with the playoffs and then a decent year this year, then he trades Shady and Maclin bolts (Gore rightfully backs away) and then this stupid trade. Chip Kelly is a mad fan going full retard right now while ruining a playoff caliber team right before our eyes.

[Shane27]

I don't think the eagles will be that terrible if bradford stays healthy. They added a couple of good defensive pieces, although overpaid a bit for maxwell . They can still sign/draft a running back or receiver as well. I don't like the Foles trade, but it is what it is.

[spurraider21]

Would be really fascinating if they sign Browner. He and Maxwell would be the most physically imposing CB duo in the league.

As i've said, I'm still a believer in Bradford, but I don't see him as a Chip Kelly type QB. I think he's more like Carson Palmer

[spurtech09]

why any owner would give a college coach this much power is beyond me. He's ruining the Eagles in a very bad way.well atleastey signed the 2014-15 leading rusher Demarco Murray lol....but for reals though....at I philly thinking lol

[The Gemini Method]

Rams get Nick Fairley...is this the best line in the league? Probably. Secondary? Is it any good?

[spurraider21]

they literally just cut Kendall Langord because they didn't want to pay for the depth. Langord's a good player. Now they go and sign Fairley. I'm confused.

[Avante]

There has to be something going on here with Kelly wanting Bradford that he's not talking about. No way he can run that offense with Bradford, and I think Kelly is a genius.

[Malik Hairston]

Bradford is glass, but Foles is probably the most overrated QB in the NFL, tbh..

He's living off the 27 TD vs. 2 INT anomaly..IIRC, Pro Football Focus or another stats website showed that he threw the most interceptable balls of any QB in that season:lol..

[mojorizen7]

Worst case scenario is that Foles is a one year stop gap who is more reliable than Bradford and better than Shaun Hill, Austin Davis and Kellen Clemens(2013 backup).
Then there's the picks, and the huge amount of cap room freed up.

Unless Bradford stays healthy the next few years this trade is clearly a Rams win.

Not saying it isn't a Rams W or that the Rams don't get better, I'd rather have Foles than the unreliable Bradford, I just don't think Foles is as good as people think he is, tbh..

I gotcha. I don't know how good he is either(Foles). I guess as a Rams fan i'm just relieved that we aren't banking on Bradford anymore. IMO Sam can be a top 10 QB but he's snakebitten.

My biggest concern with Foles isn't how many yards or TD passes he throws...he can't come in here and make crucial ballbreaking mistakes in the 4th qtr that cost us games. That's what we got from those other backups here the last 2 years. Fucking tired of it. Our D comes out and lays a whippin on teams and our offense looks like they're gonna score just enough to win and BAM! Pick six, fumble, bad read by the QB and we lose by four points.
