If Eagles become highly motivated to get Bradford off their roster, what could make the math work in a way that would tempt the jets?

"Sam Bradford signe a two year, $35 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on March 1,2016. The contract contains $22 milion fully guaranteed and another $4 million guaranteed for injury. Per SI’s Andrew Brandt, Bradford will receive an $11 million signing bonus and $7 million base salary in 2016. According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today there is a $4 million roster bonus in 2017. I am estimating $14 million in salary due in 2017."\
So, the Iggles are on the hook for 26 million of the total 35 million. What if they pay him say 24 million of that 26 million now as a bonus (actually the part of that 26 million that has not already been paid.)
That leaves 11 million. Bradford is getting money earlier and an opportunity that could be better than Philly. What if he is willing to negotiate that 11 million down to say 8 million salary in 2017 from the jets.
This only works if Eagles are desperate to get him out of the locker room and if he really wants out too. philly gets him out, saves some $$ and gets a low draft pick. Jets get a serviceable QB.....
I am no cap expert - is there a way to do the math?
