Chip Kelly is a dumbass. Why are you trying to blow up a team that went 10-6 last year?
Dope
@AlbertBreer now
Looks like the pick going with Sam Bradford to Philly is a second-rounder.
:lol:

Alright ... The basic agreement between the Rams and Eagles includes a swap of picks this year and a conditional going to Philly next next.

Bradford may be part of another deal later...kelly compiling low picks to go after mariotta?
It's the new trend in Philadelphia. Look at the Sixers! LOL :rofl2:Quote:

If the team manages a better record this year then I guess I will have to concede that Chip knows what he is doing (but I don't think this will be the case).

I'm told by Rams that Bradford-Foles trade does NOT involve swap of first-round picks
I never thought Foles was that good, to be honest. Kind of like Kevin Kolb-plus. OK, but will never get you anywhere beyond 10-6 and a disappointing first-round playoff exit.
Bradford isn't that good either. But if you can trade one for the other and get an extra second-round draft pick out of it, I guess you won? :noidea:
This is only a second round draft pick swap....Quote:

Bradford is due almost $13M this season. Foles is only due $1.5M.
The Rams look like geniuses getting rid of that contract and getting a serviceable QB out of it.

Details of the Rams/Eagles trade still fluid -- People here at NovaCare and in St. Louis still ironing it out

#Eagles acquire QB Sam Bradford, '15 5th round draft pick from St. Louis in exchange for QB Nick Foles, '15 4th round, '16 2nd round picks
Stupid trade by Chip Kelly
Yep. Journeyman QB (at best) at a franchise QB price. Bad deal.Quote:

More Eagle trades coming. Bradford may end up somewhere else.
No other team is going to take on that contract. The only reason for the Eagles to trade for him would be if they think that he can be their starter.Quote:

Dammit. Eagles broke up the duo.

Eagles only got a 5th round pick in 2015 as well as a 3rd/4th round pick in 2016 while forking over a 4th in 2015 and 2nd in 2016. What were they thinking?
If Foles is healthy, he could be a good piece for the Rams who had a good team in a tough division last year. As far as what Chip Kelly is up to, I have no idea.
Wait, the Eagles actually SENT draft picks as part of the deal? Either Kelly is high as fuck or they hired a new GM:
