AFJF Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 For the few who may care...fans/media dreading the possibilities with Sanchez being their only QB under contract. They could franchise Bradford for a year, but rumors surfaced this morning saying Chip Kelly didn't re-sign him because Tom Condon was demanding $25 mil per year and lots of vibes that Bradford wants to be closer to home. Sanchez may win a QB competition by default and be a starter again in the next season or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 they'd be lucky, he's better than Bradford and if they had any D at all they would have gone a long way in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 If you're wondering why the Eagles didn't sign Sam Bradford to a long-term deal before last season, here's a reason. Well, 25 million reasons. ESPN's Jim Trotter said on NFL Insiders, via theBigLead, that Bradford's agent, Tom Condon, was asking for $25 million per year before the 2015 season. That's a lot of money, especially for a quarterback who hadn't really played in two years. Then-personnel controller Chip Kelly, who traded for Bradford, wouldn't do it. But this is important to remember: There has to be a starting point in any contract negotiation. Just because Condon was asking for $25 million, it doesn't mean that's necessarily how much the Eagles would have needed to pay to keep him. This offseason, if Bradford hits the open market, there's a very good chance the Eagles will have some tough competition to keep their starting quarterback around. Bradford's numbers in 2015 weren't eye-popping, but he did play much better in the second half of the season and seemed to build strong on-field relationships with Jordan Matthews and Zach Ertz. On the year, Bradford completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,725 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. His 3,725 yards ranks as the fourth-best passing season in Eagles history. Now, there's also the question about how much new head coach Doug Pederson likes Bradford. Pederson was, of course, asked about Bradford at his introductory press conference on Tuesday and said the QB would fit "perfectly" into his system. "I think Sam, he's got all the tools, there's no question," Pederson said. "There's no denying that. Got good size, got a great arm, good mind for the game, and it's just a matter of now, just plugging him in and cutting him loose and utilizing those strengths in this system."

Beerfish Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 They will let Bradford walk and draft a QB. Bradford has miscalculated his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 They will let Bradford walk and draft a QB. Bradford has miscalculated his value. as they should. if the rookie is ready he starts, if not they have mark to start for a year who gives them more than Bradford anyway.

He sure has if he's looking for $26 mil...I figured he'd be in the $16 mil area which is what he may get ultimately...but $25 mil? I don't like Chip, but I can't blame him on this one.

Jetsfan80 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Eagles don't seem to have a ton of big names they need to re-sign, so with $23.6M in cap space currently, the franchise tag is definitely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Actually, just read that the QB franchise tag is $25.2M? Wow. Forget about that then. Sanchez + Rookie it is. lol. With someone like Chase Daniel (UFA) added in to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the 2008 season had ended, in mid January 2009, Favre told Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum, "it may be time to look in a different direction" regarding the quarterback position.[91] On February 11, 2009, Favre informed the Jets that he was retiring after 18 seasons.[92] In September 2009, Favre again made Jets news, as the NFL learned that the Jets were aware that Favre injured his arm in the eleventh game of the 2008 season, and fined the Jets $125,000 for not reporting the injury in any of the Jets' five final games.[94] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If Pederson runs that dinky KC offense, Sanchez can do that pretty well.
