Bill Barnwell , ESPN staff writer has come up with this scenario for the Jets , assuming they decide to move on from Fitz..... Eagles trade Sam Bradford to the Jets for 2-51.
I wrote on Thursday about why the Eagles should deal Bradford. He has played his part, with reports suggesting that he'll ask the Eagles to be traded in lieu of serving as a lame-duck starter this season. Philly could badly use the extra pick that would come with a Bradford trade and could install Chase Daniel as the starter until Carson Wentz is ready to take over.
The Jets would have to pay only Bradford's $7 million base salary this season, crucial for a team that is $1.4 million over the cap after you account for the money needed to sign their draft picks. (They would likely have to cut Breno Giacomini and/or do something with Muhammad Wilkerson's $15.7 million cap hold to clear out space.) Bradford would likely be an upgrade on the Ryan Fitzpatricks and Brian Hoyers of the world, even if they played better than the former first overall pick last year; Bradford also would be a solid fit in Chan Gailey's spread attack.
