WHAT ON GOD’S GREAT GREEN PLANET IS GOING ON?!
Adam Schefter apparently just reported on NFL Live – we’re searching for the video – that the Eagles will not place the franchise tag on Sam Bradford, keeping him around for a year, and will opt for the much more sane option of TRADING FOR NICK FOLES!
More soon. But, spoiler, I may be done with this team.
UPDATE: There is some conjecture that this was based off a fake Tweet. There was indeed a fake Tweet, but it went out at 10:28, after the alert. We’re trying to find video from NFL Live.
UPDATE 2: Still no evidence that Schefter said this on the air, but ESPN sent out the alert nonetheless.

UPDATE 3: Schefter officially reported it just now on ESPN:

I wouldn’t even be mad about this but….I don’t think its true…just more talking heads relaying messages….this was put out there by the eagles to show Sam there are other options, including going back with Nick. Eagles will hope this drives Sam’s price down….
Bradford should offer Philadelphia a team friendly deal for resurrecting his DEAD career. If not, may he leave and cripple himself in the off-season or in his first pre-season game. He’s an ungratful punk that already stole $66M.
I like Foles, but he doesn’t have what it takes to win a SB.
I honestly don’t have a QB answer. This is the most depressing time as an Eagles fan that I can remember.
Bradford is probably looking at a 5-year deal close to $100 million contract with a few different teams around the league. And he is injury prone.
Why on Earth would he accept a 1-year deal on the cheap with the Eagles?
I get the whole letting Bradford go thing…. But bringing back Foles makes no sense at all. He was horrible his last year here and this past season with the Rams. Horrible idea.
There is no truth to the Foles thing. But Sam Bradford will be released. As for the Eagles QB of the future… I would expect them to start Sanchez this year and fill in with some young developmental talent. The “Franchise” QB is probably in middle school right now. Its guna be a long trip to the Super Bowl
this guy nailed it.
I wish “Nick Foles” would “Pursue” me, if you know what I mean ====D –
I get the Bradford decision, but explain the rationale on Foles. I feel this is a step back. Buy time? For who?
Kyle is disgusted right now. “Why the fuck am I working on a God damn weekend, because of that fucking wigger???”
what wigger?
and he be looking scared
This is a totally farcical call…
Thank You Al, we have them on every coast
SOUR !
Sour. I want you to go to jail.
300
The cops is thick up in this.
Lest anyone think.
And a babba booie to ya’ll
Crossing broad has three updates(within 2 hours) on the biggest Eagles story this offseason, csnphilly.com, nothing. Old media vs new media
Try philly.com, which called fiction on the story. Old enough to win 20 Pulitzers, new enough to scoop what used to be a good source for Philadelphia sports news.
The electricity guy. David Jefferson.
that’s why i rely on PI blog
This is the first of Kyle’s noine mistakes today. I think the Broncos get 3 field goals in the 1st half. How many points is that?
NoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoineNoine
SOUR! listen to me… I want you to go to jail for this…. this is harassment …. over 300 phone calls ?
Ahh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Waaaaaa!!! I’m done with this team! Waaaaaa!!! Just think. You have many, many more years of The Three Stooges comedy show! Ahh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Stop it, my sides are hurting!!!
…of all the schtick posted in the comments section, yours is one of the worst. Not quite as bad as the jackwads who thinks it’s funny to say Juuuuuuuuu all the time. But what would a washed-up Redskins running back that few people even remember be doing trolling Eagles fans on a 3rd-rate Philadelphia blog? Presumably the real John Riggins has something better to do. Maybe it’s CTE. Either way, it’s tired. Like making fun of Ian Rapoport’s name.
Least surprising news ever.
All 3 of the Sam Bradford supporters, are making their way to the Walt Whitman bridge.
How many will that be?
AHHHH? 10?
Pederson and Roseman are gone. A totally fresh start. Lurie finally hires a real GM. The team has bottomed out and will draft high enough to select a franchise QB. I truly believe the team will win the Super Bowl within 5 years after that. Just like an addict it takes time to you finally hit rock bottom.
This is what has to happen for the team to reach the top.
You have to be delusional if you thought bringing back Bradford was gonna put the Eagles over the top. This is the best option. You bring Foles back, draft a QB groom for a year. Meanwhile you’ve saved cap room for other needs and possibly win the division the next 2 yrs. 2017 is the year they take next step.
Yes
Where’s sal?
weather your black, Hispanic, Asian, or Italian ….
How bout them royals bub?
How Ya”ll Doing Outthere????????
Are we talking about the same Nick foles that couldn’t start for the Rams? This has to be a joke. Nick Foles sucks. He had a handful of good games, then the league got film on him and he was terrible.
Now, let’s see the idiot team that picks Bradford up and is crazy enough to pay his money.
You mean the Texans? If they get Bradford they’re going deep in the playoffs.
n1gger
Kyle, do you still think the Broncos defense is overrated you dumb fuck
That is me repeating myself over and over again.
This how I feel chip ruind. A team that made the play off. Nick Foles. Wasent the best Atlest he knew his team and the plays chip brought who he felt best all eagles needed was top line men n recovers
Recivers. So he can sit in the pocket like Rogers n Brady there line men Atlest care n give him time before they brack a back Bradford. Has 911 on speed dial he so scared get hurt
Rams left Foles for dead like. The eagles left vic
Rather take Vic Atlest he will run the ball.
Called it Broncos. 28 – Carolina 21. Denver so hungry. Them Panthers. Shi”# o.n them self Newton with his tight paints missed his leg s up
They need spend money @li k up talent wheat it’s needed. It’s not hard to see where it’s fuckd up at they made a decision. For fuking chip yea he out to San Fran. He Dnt give a fuk special team fine. Need line men. Recivers. This not Murray cup tea he need step up or step out.
Now speak English. Are you drunk or having a stroke? If you had a point, who would know with all that unreadable garbage you threw up over and over?
I think its some black guy
I have said this so many times and it has become so obvious. As long as Lurie is running (ruining ?) this team, you can forget even sniffing another Super Bowl. Outside of his luck being born into a rich family, he is a total failure and 22 years is proof. He can make money despite himself in the NFL, but he has no clue as to how to put together a team. Man, all you people that still believe Lurie’s bullshit would have been on a plane with Jim Jones to Guyana.
Lol, +1.
mmmmm pumkin beer…. that’s my favorite…mmmm
Ya fat tub of monkey $hit
Fuck these fucking Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssss. The MOST IMPORTATNT position in sports and they are going to cheap out–like Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssssss.–for a fucking guy that was benched for Case fucking Keeenum?!?!?!?
Have fun sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppp….have fucking fun as Gay Jeffy and NephJuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Howie continue to STEAL YOUR MONEY.Fuck off
I like the cuz’s insight on the topic. He said that this is something that goes on between teams and agents. This has absolutely no merit to it. It’s more or less some publicity for foles to get other teams interested in him. And the Eagles are the stunt dummy in the situation. Which I don’t like but I’ll accept if it means that there’s no truth to this.
