AFJF Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Notable because Cimini saying Bradford was a player the Jets were going to target during the off-season. If he stays healthy in Philly this year and decides to test free agency, could be a Jet. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13615377/extension-talks-sam-bradford-eagles-break-down The Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Sam Bradford have suspended contract negotiations attempting to commit him to the team beyond the 2015 season, league sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The source said Bradford's incredible preseason success changed the negotiating dynamics. It has become too expensive for the Eagles to negotiate an additional year or two after Bradford went 10-for-10 with three touchdown passes in Chip Kelly's offense in his final performance of the preseason. So despite his injury history, Bradford is prepared to play this season with no contract beyond this year and establish his market value as an NFL starter.

BigRy56 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If this guy makes it through the season injury free and hits the market I would expect the Jets to make a strong push at him. They'll definitely have the cap room to sign anybody they want again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any QB playing in Chip's offense will be injured. Bradford should demand a trade or pretend to get hurt before he gets killed. I predict he's out by week 3, and that Tebow is back and playing at some point. This offence is just not meant for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetman55 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hold their balls to the fire. He was 13-15 with 3 TDs and 0 INTs in the preseason and they gave up Foles and a 2nd for a 1 year rental?!?!? he has all the leverage today, obviously. Let him walk and see how quick Philly is up Chips back door and Chip is on the back page as a sad story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Personally I think it would be insane not to go after him if he plays well and healthy this season. good QB's simply don't get to free agency. If one does and you don't have one you push all your chips in. If he gets hurt then you're right back where you started- looking for a QB, a broker but who cares, because you can't win a SB without that position.

I'm not gonna say it's not concerning, but the talent is so high I'd be willing to gamble on paying him, but that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYs Stepchild Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I see it the other way. QBs running around as a runner can get destroyed legally. Absolutely. Put the QB on the move outside the pocket, and run twice as many plays. Between fatigue, and shear number of chances to be hit it's far more dangerous. Why do you think no one else runs this offense in the NFL? We've already seen the evidence. He needs at least 3 durable, athletic QBs to run this.
