According to a report from NJ.com, Philadelphia Eagles' Sam Bradford, who signed a two-year deal with the team last March, may be traded off to the Denver Broncos for the 2016 season. According to the report, an insider revealed to 9News that the Broncos were up for a possible trade to get Bradford as a new quarterback.
This comes right after Bradford made the statement that he will not be showing up for work with the Eagles until a proper trade is made. According to NJ, this is due to the fact that Bradford has barely been able to be on the field ever since he began playing with the Eagles and due to the Eagles moving the number two spot in order to select quarterback Carson Wentz.
It is further explained that the Broncos are in dire need of a new quarterback, particularly now that the 2016 NFL draft is open. At the time being, the Broncos have quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian, the latter of whom is currently enjoying his second season with the team.
However, the report also points out that the Eagles have not yet shown any intention of trading out Bradford despite his claim of ditching work and his demands for a trade. Fans speculate that the Eagles have special plans for Bradford in the field or may be simply waiting for a better trade deal before offering the player to another team.
While Bradford may not be available at the time being, NFL Trade Rumors confirms that the team has stated first-rounder quarterback Paxton Lynch will be ready for the season quickly and a lot sooner than what people expect, showing confidence in their current choice.
It is undetermined if there will be any movement regarding the Broncos acquiring Bradford now that Lynch is in play but the team did express interest and it will depend on the Eagles' decision before the season officially launches.
