Vikings somehow managed to one up what Chip gave up.

So let's review:
Eagles sign Bradford with a $11 million signing bonus over two years, so $5.5M each.
Then:
Offload two underperforming players, one with a terrible contract, to go up to 8.
Trade 8, 3rd and 4th this year, 2017 1st, and 2018 2nd for 2 and 2017 4th.
Trade Bradford for 2017 1st and 2018 4th.
So, moved up to 2 for essentially 13, 2016 3rd and 4th, and 2018 2nd. And in return get 2018 4th. Plus a mere 5.5M cap hit the next two years.
Not too shabby

What are you talking about? Sam is signed for this year and next. If he plays well, which he will, they could rework his contract for the following season. This move gives them insurance Incase teddy doesn't recover.

Daniels is just abysmal. What are the odds we start Wentz instead?
edit: fuck

yep, this is going to be a 4-12 season
He'll start before the end of the season. Even with Bradford, this team wasn't beating anyone in the off chance they make the playoffs, so who cares how much Daniel sucks?

This is even more mind boggling than trading for Trent Richardson.
I know everyone laughed at the Eagles for keeping Bradford but wow did they get the last laugh. Unreal. Pretty decent shot they got a top 10 overall pick for a guy who has no business being a starting QB for a team trying to win.

I still think he's fucking crazy. Jesus H Christ.
That Bradford trade doesn't look bad. Actually, it still looks bad. Jeff Fisher voodoo.

Yeah, this really doesn't have much explanation if you're confident in the outlook for next year. I stand by knowing he'll never be the same even if he comes back

In one week vikes went from bridgewater to Bradford and no 1st round pick. Brutal.

This has been the what if for his entire fucking career.
He's not a good NFL QB even when hes healthy and hes never healthy.
The fact the Eagles got a 1st round pick for him is beyond absurd.

See, here's the thing.
I'm from Philly. love it here, its great, wouldn't live anywhere else.
HOWEVER
This is an absolutely miserable sports town, especially when it comes to the Eagles. Fans are extremely touchy, moody, and sensitive.
If Daniels is starting, you're looking at a season where the eagles don't just miss the playoffs, but get blown out by mediocre to bad teams all year. The entire city is going to be a festering shitpile of misery.
I enjoy going to the bars on sunday and commisserating with fans while we watch an eagles win or a close loss. NO ONE likes watching them get dismantled.
A bad eagles team makes my life miserable from now until january.

At least it wasn't for wheeden
How is it a likely top 10 pick? Vikings are expecting it to be low as they are in no position to tank anything. Teddy couldn't throw more than 20 yards downfield and still brought them to 11-7. They have a good D and AP, who any QB can hand the ball to, no way are they bottom 10.

That is the most likely scenario since the Eagles are cursed it seems.

......so the usual, then? I'm in Harrisburg and spend plenty of time in Philly. It's fucking miserable regardless when it comes to the Eagles. Even if Daniels starts, the calls for Wentz will be immediate and if he struggles? Good luck. The honeymoon period will be non-existent.

I'd be shocked if Vikings aren't at least a wikdcard team. Their defense is too good.
As a Vikes fan I am torn.
Pros:
1. Bradford is just about as good as was possible to fill this gap. He really isn't a long range threat to Teddy, starter material (not top tier obviously), really no one the vikes could get for a 1st round who would be better.
2. The team has been exceptional in FA and drafting in the past 2-3 years. They are loaded all over the roster and very young.
3. First rounds are no guarantee and if they do well...this would be a late 1st....esp QBs.
Cons:
1. Highway robbery. Bottom line - Eagles dumped a QB controversy, saved a crap deal and got a first.
2. Vikes expect Teddy not to start for 2017 opener. This is a two year gap desperation solution.

Honestly don't even think Bradford is an upgrade over Shaun Hill. This is the most desperate trade I've ever seen.

Wentz has broken ribs, Daniels is starting week one. Unless you want this to get even more insane of a set of circumstances and the Eagles new franchise QB gets permahurt too

QB market is apparently very tough. In the likely scenario the Eagles can't go the whole season with Chase and Wentz we may get to witness them overpay for a QB worth half as much as Bradford.
Sloooooooo

absolutely not. There hasn't been a "bad" eagles season since 2012. The last couple years have been absolutely nothing compared to how awful it was to live here that year.
I'm sorry.
People in glass houses and all that.
yeah, even completely healthy I wouldn't be sold on Wentz starting. he's just too green and needs time to develop. It's going to be a bad year for us, with maybe a better one next year depending on who we can draft.
While giving up a first the Vikings are a better team then they were a week ago on paper
Rather have them wait year by year on whether Teddy will come back and throw 14 TDs a season or not is not really that ideal when the best player in your franchise's history and the only reason why you have an offensive threat only has a few good years left in him
Maybe it's because I'm a Raider fan but giving up a late first for a chance to be highly competitive in the division and what should be a wild card spot the next two years is an easy choice to make

Guess we will be getting a 2 then since the Vikes are going to do better with Sam this year.
Jesus...Vikings what the hell?

Pats cuts are starting. Cre'Von LeBlanc is out.
This is going to be the New Herschel Walker trade that sets the Eagles up to be a dynasty, won't it?

Maybe not likely but theres a chance of the season bottoming out to 6-10 or 7-9. You're giving away a key pick for a guy who is marginally better than Shaun Hill with the chance it goes horribly wrong.
Just remind them of 1999 and then what the next 7 years were like
Holy shit need to see those details

Still gotta re-sign Bradford. Dude has been banking serious coin, you wanna spend that and the draft capital already invested for a sub-par QB?
