Christmas in September for the Eagles.

[Red Dawg]

They don't pay Teddy anything. Does that mean Chase will start? Wentz was never suppose to play.

holy shit if that is true, the eagles are genius

[jjchieffan]

That's surprising. I heard that Daniel didn't look good this preseason. Probably some beaker spewing hate. I can't imagine the Eagles trading away Bradford if that was the case, because I can't see them starting Wentz yet.

getting a 1st(!) for a not very good QB whose replacement you already drafted is a good day...i dream about the chiefs raping someone like that (:eek:)

and the worse bradford plays, the higher the eagles pick!

the incentives are all aligned for philly

[Pablo]

LOLOLOL

Now some of the Daniel fans will get to stroke to the bone over their wonder boy starting in Philly.

Exciting!

[Mav]

Damn. Good for Philadelphia. Good for Chase too though. It will be good to see him start. Still a 1 and 4 for a 1 year rental seems steep.

I'm not convinced Teddy will play again. He almost lost his leg completely and that is not normal. His lower completely seperated. That is some serious stuff.

[the Talking Can]

To bad Bradford never had a team around him in STL or Philly. Who did he have to throw to on either team? Vikings have 10 times the offensive talent either of those teams had or currently have. He will be just fine. He doesn't need to be a Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. He just needs to manage the game and protect the ball. Philly wasn't play off bound anyways so at least he has a chance to win now.


random viking fan comment....any of that sound familiar to chiefs fans??ROFL

1. he never had enough talent around him
2. he doesn't need to be great anyways
3. just manage the game
4. win now

[RealSNR]

Eagles move up and grab their guy in Wentz, don't have to pay Bradford, and get a shit ton of their draft compensation back.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. You need a team dumb enough to pay out the ass and a QB with a fucked up enough injury like Bridgewater.

[The Franchise]

Bradford has now fucked over another team. This just proves that NFL GMs are generally fucking stupid.

[CupidStunt]

The weird thing about the deal is - ignoring how fucking AWFUL it is - are the Vikings giving up on Bridgewater? If not, are they willingly giving up this bounty for ONE year of average production? (Assuming candybone Bradford makes it 16 games)

[DaneMcCloud]

More proof that the QB position is next to impossible to fill.

In what universe is Bradford worth a 4th rounder, let alone, a 1st and a 4th?

I guess it's the same universe in which Matt Cassel is still on an NFL roster and has earned in excess of $70 million dollars.

Giving up? The dude won't likely see a football field, ever again.

He has years of rehab ahead of him just so that he can walk.

Lucky and aggressive

If you never try to MAKE things happen then you can never get lucky about what happens. The most you can hope is that something falls in your lap.

Dorsey has a great eye for talent but he's not a mover and shaker. I feel we will always be a team sitting there hoping that a great talent falls in our laps.

Hell, we didn't even trade up a mere 5 spot in the draft this year to make sure we got the CB that we desperately needed.

[jjchieffan]

Yeah. We didn't move up and got stuck with Jones. Damn Dorsey!

The trade up isn't the reason why I'm shaking my head at the Eagles' dumb luck. The lucky thing is paying Chase Daniel twice as much as his contract from Kansas City, doling out all that cash to Bradford, AND trading out the ass to grab Wentz.

It's way too much money for meddling game-manager-at-best short term QBs. I understand finding a guy to temporarily hold down the fort while your prized QB is on the bench, but there are easier and better ways to do that.

I'd much rather take a mulligan on a season like the Broncos are doing at QB than give nearly $30 million in one season to fucking Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel.

It's only by the grace of God and a horrific injury to Teddy Bridgewater that the Eagles are coming out of this smelling like fucking roses and cinnamon buns.

And it's worked out extremely well Laz. Peters was the best draft pick this team has made in several years and Jones already looks really fucking good.

The point is that they were aggressive about doing stuff in the first place.

Without trying all that stupid stuff they wouldn't have gotten lucky.

The Chiefs never would have done any of it and never been able to get lucky.

I imagine next year they will try to trade chase daniel too.

[DaneMcCloud]

I'd much rather take a mulligan on a season like the Broncos are doing at QB than give nearly $30 million in one season to fucking Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel.

Beyond that, this trade seriously inhibits the Vikings opportunity to draft and develop another Franchise QB.

It's tough to find potential franchise QB's, let alone, without a first round pick.

[RealSNR]

Eatdatpussy445 is a fucking retard. When you've sucked like the Eagles, you gladly sacrifice the short term for the long term benefit of the franchise.

This fat fuck needs to learn to lose with a smile on his face. It's a trait I and many other Chiefs fans possess, and I'm eternally grateful for it.

Minnesota is fucking retarded.

[Marcellus]

Remember when Chip Kelley said Bradford was worth a 1st round pick and everyone made fun of him.

[FloridaMan88]

The tragic thing for Minnesota is that their back-up QB, Shaun Hill could have taken them just as far this season as Sam Bradford will likely take them.

And they could have had that same future without having to give up a first and fourth round draft pick.

[RealSNR]

The Vikings DO know that Sam Bradford is made of goddamn tissue paper, right?

I'm going to feel so bad for those fans when Bradford goes down. Not IF. WHEN he goes down.

Bridgewater is overrated anyways. Although AP is getting old, they have a young team that will develop very well. Minnesota being desperate now takes away their chance to chase Romo in the offseason (going out on a limb that Dak is going to win the job)

They should have gone after McCarron

[RealSNR]

Of course it was always going to be the Vikings making this deal. Hershel Walker. Jared Allen (even though one could argue he actually met the unrealistic expectations the Vikings laid down for him when they made the trade) and now Bradford.

It's in their DNA, just like it's in the Chiefs' DNA to trade for "safe" backups and turn them into starters.

[mcaj22]

They should have gone after McCarron

I wonder if they even tried. I think I would have wanted him the most out of whatever Ryan Mallet, Nick Foles, Sam Bradford options they had.

[FloridaMan88]

Shit, I would have taken just a 2nd rounder for Foles.

It would have been the Chiefs luck that Alex Smith would sustain his first serious injury as a Chief and the Chiefs would have no proven back-up QB option.

[Hoopsdoc]

I'm not convinced Teddy will play again. He almost lost his leg completely and that is not normal. His lower completely seperated. That is some serious stuff.

Dayum! I didn't realize the injury was that bad.

The Vikes must think they have a shot at glory this year. That's a bundle to give up for a marginal qb.

How many draft picks have people paid for this clown? I learned in the OU/Tx game his last year at OU. Cost me $20 when he went down in the biggest game of his career.

I do feel bad for the Vikings fans. Can you imagine going into your expected SB run season, and ending up with Bradford as your QB? And giving up a 1st and a 4th plus a large salary for the honor of paying this guy's hospital bills? Jesus.

Worst of all? The Vikings STILL need a QB, because Shaun Hill won't get them where they want to go after Bradford goes down.

[RealSNR]

Chase Daniel played well in the preseason as a Saint and started and played well in two regular season games as a Chief.

Tyler Bray has taken about 30 NFL snaps in the PRESEASON (no regular season appearances), and Kevin Hogan is green as well.

Just for fun: Ask these guys if they ever heard of Hershel Walker...

[RINGLEADER]

The price tag is insane but Bradford is actually a great fit -- they need a game manager in the worst way, someone who can match Bridgewater's very average performance. The big risk for the Vikings is that Bradford snaps another one of his twigs a few games into the season and they're back in the same spot they're in now.

Daniel had thrown like two passes in the regular season before the Chiefs acquired him. I don't call that experience or at least enough to call him a "proven" backup.

Why does one's backup QB always need to be proven, anyway? Yeah, you prefer the veteran, but just look at the Packers. They seem just fine with letting 7th round picks and undrafted guys named Matt Flynn and Graham Harrell who have never played a regular season down in the NFL be their primary backup QBs.

How is Bradford going to manage anything from the Trainer's room.

His head coach was the ultimate example of this when he was a QB. Doug Pederson got to spend years as Brett Favre's backup. Probably went out drinking on Saturday nights and showed up at the game hung over because he didn't need to play ever.

Wow! 11 Million and he never took a regular season snap for it. That's just crazy. 11 Million in dead money is hell on the cap. Did they have cap money to burn or something?

The LlamaCassel wins again!

[DaneMcCloud]

Bradford was 7-7 in 14 games last year for the Eagles, with 3,725 yards with 19 TD's and 14 INT's.

Pat Shurmur, who was is OC in Philly, is the QB coach in Minnesota.

If they get that kind of production from him, they're a playoff team.

Philly is still going to be a dumpster fire with or without the picks.

Shaun Hill probably could have given them similar production in what will likely be an Adrian Peterson-heavy offense.

And Shaun Hill's production would have come without having to give up a first and fourth round draft pick.

[MMXcalibur]

How much can reasonably be expected for Bradford to get spun up on the Vikings' playbook before Week 1?

Furthermore, what are the odds now of a Titans upset of the Vikings or a Browns upset of the Eagles in Week 1? Inquiring, degenerate gambers wish to know.

[notorious]

Very true.

[jspchief]

The Vikings have the D and running game to compete. If Bradford can play a notch above "just ok" they can win the division and be a threat in the playoffs.

If.

Stupid. Wentz is not ready. Just give him a redshirt year and you'll likely have a high first plus Minnesota's first to give him weapons when he has an entire NFL season to absorb the offense.

The Chiefs did very well booting Chase and getting Foles.

And people thought he should start over Smith at one point. Fans.

[Chief Pagan]

I thought the 2 2nd rounders for Smith was a bit steep. Apparently not so much.

Yea I was unhappy about giving up 2 2nd rounders. Although it wasn't the draft picks as much as it was the belief that instead of rolling the dice on a high-risk, high-upside QB, they went with somebody good enough to compete for a playoff spot and not much more.

But a 1 and 4 (and the 4 can move up to a 3 or 2?). Just wow. I guess for once we took advantage and left the 49ers with crap at QB.

[OldSchool]

The Vikings have the D and running game to compete. If Bradford can play a notch above "just ok" they can win the division and be a threat in the playoffs.

If.

Yes. Unfortunately though, Bradford is aids behind center and if that Vikings OL is anywhere near as bad as they were last year, he's going to suck a ton and likely be injured halfway through the season.

I like to give Bridgewater crap but his OL was horrible, pretty much as bad as ours was in Pass Pro.

Yup, would instantly make the Vikings the favorites to win it in the NFC North given the balance on that team.

Thank you for reminding me of this. As bad as that trade up for Wentz was, this should lessen the sting somewhat.

Yes. It was amazing that Spielman was just quoted recently saying that he wasn't going to do anything stupid out of desperation.

He sure followed through.

why anyone keeps hanging their hats on bradford, i have no clue. sam bradford should be nominated for conman of this decade.

[KChiefs1]

And Chase is still the backup. Just read the plan is to start Wentz Week 1 if healthy.

He's up there with Cassel. ..

This was a PR maneuver by the front office...(and a stupid one). They have a shiny new stadium that they want filled. Nothing more...nothing less...

Selling hope is expensive...

[ping2000]

So no butt-chin bobblehead?

[Mile High Mania]

So, in 2010, Bradford was the #1 pick in STL... signed a six year $78M contract with $50M guaranteed, most ever for an NFL rookie.

Rams improve to 7-9 that year, he wins ROY (7-9 record).

Bradford goes 7-9, 1-9, 7-8-1 and 3-4 in STL (18-30-1 record) and in 2014, he injures his ACL again and misses the entire 2014 season. And then is traded to PHI.

On March 10, 2015, Bradford was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles along with a 2015 fifth round pick, in exchange for Nick Foles, a 2015 fourth-round pick, and a 2016 second-round pick.

Bradford goes 7-7 in his starts last season, and in March 2016, he signs a 2 year $36M ($26M guaranteed) deal with PHI.

And, now the Vikings trade a #1 and a conditional #4 to PHI for the lifetime 25-37-1 QB that has signed two NFL contracts that have paid him over $100M ($76M in guarantees). Bradford is getting paid $4M per win at this point.

Question is why... I don't get it.

[Warrior5]

Why the **** do NFL teams like Bradford so much? Has anyone made more and commanded more draft picks for doing less?

Exactly! Bradford must be related to the Kardashians some way...

[ChiliConCarnage]

Remember when Chip Kelley said Bradford was worth a 1st round pick and everyone made fun of him.

I do and I think it's what makes this trade most amazing. Apparently, Kelly wasnt full of shit. Amazing that multiple teams would still be willing to give up a first for bradford. As a random fan and not a league GM it's baffling.

If the Vikings make this move and it doesn't work, it could cost Spielman his job.

If the Viking don't make this move and finish 4-12, it could cost Spielman his job.

He really had no choice.

I'll say this much for Reid and especially Dorsey; they don't make big hits or splashes as a general rule and I absolutely LOATHE KC's approach to the QB position, but a person would have to be completely idiotic to not acknowledge how good Dorsey has been at building legitimate depth at positions where depth is your greatest asset.

It's entirely possible that KC could, under ideal conditions all across the board, win a Championship with Alex Smith. But if they could just hit ONE TIME on a QB a few notches above "solid", they would dominate the AFCW for a very long time.

I'd actually be surprised if Spielman lost his job because his starting QB went down with a freak injury and they had a bad year. He's actually turned into a fairly decent drafter.

I'd say Sam Bradford for a 1st and conditional 4th could (this isn't going to work out like they hope). I do wonder how much this trade was influenced by meddling owners that desperately want a brand new stadium to be full, all season.

If AP stays healthy and the wheels don't fall off the D, 4-12 is unlikely with Shaun Hill. They won't beat good teams but they should beat the bad ones, and with 4 games against Detroit and Chicago, they should have been able to eek out a mediocre year.
