Sam Bradford's Future in the 2016 Season: Speculations and Potential Outcomes

The future of quarterback Sam Bradford remains a topic of speculation amidst the changing dynamics of the NFL. With the Eagles' roster including Bradford regardless of whether he retains the starting position, many analysts predict that he will remain in Philadelphia unless an extraordinary trade deal materializes.

Current Speculations and Bradford's Options

Harts{min holdout have concluded, and it's unclear whether the Denver Broncos are the only potential trading partners interested in Bradford. However, the trade price was deemed too high, before the draft. Traditionally, it would be surprising if a trade were to take place.

However, my opinion is that unless a very significant trade offer materializes, Bradford will remain an Eagle. Nevertheless, his recent actions may diminish his leverage in the off-season negotiations, reducing his options and turning the starting job over to Campbell and Wentz, who show potential as draft picks.

Eagles' Potential QB Drafts and Bradford's Role

Firstly, it's not a guaranteed fact that the Eagles would have drafted a quarterback; it's more likely than not, but the team's needs extend beyond the quarterback position. A couple of other players could also have a significant impact on this season, and staying with Bradford for one more year might not be such a bad idea.

Secondly, trading Bradford would be financially unwise, as the financial savings from the trade would be minimal, and finding a suitable veteran replacement would be costly. Even with a 40/60 chance that the Eagles will choose a quarterback in the draft and a 90/10 chance that Bradford will remain with the team, these figures are subject to change.

Potential Landing Spots and Bradford's Dumb Choices

Despite the slim chances of a trade, Bradford may be picked up by the Broncos, Browns, or Titans, where he could find a position on the roster, especially if they are facing quarterback shortages. However, it is evident that Bradford's recent decisions are increasingly detrimental to his career.

Not showing up for training may further reduce his leverage, and he is now competing against Campbell, who already knows the offense. If Campbell outperforms Bradford, there could be trade discussions towards the end of the season, with teams seeking playoff chances.

There are several reasons why Bradford's choices can be considered dumb. He has zero leverage without good performance, making him less appealing to trade or negotiate. His recent actions also reduce his options at the end of the season, putting him in a shorter timeframe to prove his worth.

In concluding, while Sam Bradford may remain in the Eagles' fold next season, his recent moves may significantly impact his future prospects, and it might be wise for both him and the team to reassess their strategies.
