    More like a first, two seconds, a third, a fourth, overpaid/overrated Byron Maxwell & injury prone Kiko Alonso.

    You want a franchise QB, you overpay & go get him.

    Texans overpaid in cash in free agency.
    Rams & Eagles are paying big in the draft with draft picks.

    I feel like I hear this every year. Yet every year, there are a couple of prospects who break out.

    This is garbage. There are always QB's that come out of nowhere and their stock is completely variable till draft day. Carson Wentz was a late 1st round pick just a few months ago. Teddy Bridgewater was consensus 1st QB before his last college season. Things change.

    Wow the run on QBs at the top of the draft means there is going to be incredible value at 3 through 5. Cowboys might get Ramsey - the best player in the draft.

    Hilarious.... Wonder what their cap hit will be if they have to facilitate a trade?

    Limited cap space, limited draft resources, all for a non-slam-dunk rookie QB...Who exactly is running the Eagles?

    He'll definitely be hard to trade without a restructured contract. The Broncos can't afford him. The Jets are the other team out there.

    I think he ends up staying in Philly.

    I can't fault him for being upset. I doubt he thought he was re-upping for a team that would then go out and spend vital cap space on his backup, along with give up future draft picks/future depth for his future replacement.

    In any case, he probably is envious of Brock... He gets money and is guaranteed to be the man without anybody looking over his shoulder, without having proven even as much as Bradford has (who really hasn't proven much of anything either, other than the ability to be oft-injured).

    As far as what Philly should do, its clear they're simply wanting a place-holder to man the ship till Wentz is ready. If Bradford doesn't want to do it, they'll have to eat the cost and dump him while giving the job to Daniels.

    He's a journeyman who's proven very little in the league, and is still living on potential from the day he was drafted. I'm not sure where his sense of entitlement comes from, but he of all people should understand that when you have him as your QB, you basically HAVE to have a viable second and third option due to his injury history. His sour grapes are completely unjustified in my opinion.
