PFT -- Sam Bradford might not have been happy from the moment the Eagles traded for the second pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
But his playing along lasted less than a week.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Eagles quarterback has told the team he wants to be traded, and that he won’t be showing up to any more offseason activities.

Of course, the $17.5 million a year contract the Eagles gave him this offseason stuck out like a sore thumb the minute they traded for the right to draft Carson Wentz, considering they also paid trusted Doug Pederson-stable-pony Chase Daniel in free agency as well.

The Eagles have tied up a lot of cash and draft pick currency in the position this offseason because they wanted to make sure they had a franchise quarterback. It’s hard to imagine a situation where they thought Bradford was that guy, and the trade for No. 2 underscores that fact.

So now we have to see if the Eagles will blink, and whether quarterback-needy teams such as the Broncos or 49ers value Bradford beyond the guys they already have on their rosters.

I think because his contract has an $11 million signing bonus, his cap hit is only $7 million for a team trades for him and the Iggles are on the hoof for the $11 Mill bonus. Anyone know if that's right?

Not interested in Bradford at all. Damaged goods and I don't think he could handle the the NY-NJ spotlight, pressure (media and fans) and wind and weather. If he thinks he's got it bad in Phila then he has no idea what he would be dealing with, with us. I don't care what his contract is or how much younger he is to Fitz and I don't want Fitz either, gets us a real franchise QB PLEASE. Draft Lynch or whom ever is that guy or develop Petty if that is possible. Hell, I'd rather they work with Geno then give up a draft pick for Bradford and I don't want Geno anymore either. Geno is younger then Bradford!

I have no interest in him whatsoever rather start Geno. He can't handle any kind of pressure... He is terrible in the pocket under pressure... the NY media will kill him... Ed Whitson style.. I'm sure some of you will get that reference LOL!!
