Can the Eagles cut Bradford and rid the salary? - he is set to make 15 million this year - Foles was 1.5
I'm not convinced Chip will trade the barn to get his guy, especially as he might have to trade all those picks to the Redskins?

I actually can't work out what he's doing

Doesn't look like Mariota is coming

Chip: power shift was Lurie's idea, Mariota isn't coming

I think the Eagles will trade to get Mariota with Bradford probably going to the Titans for some picks. Thinking about I am not sure it's trading their future when you considering QB is the most pressing issue in Philadelphia.

Then again he could be lying and not telling the media his true intentions which would make sense.

Well exactly see above. It's all Mariota moves IMO. This is Chips guy and he is playing down the idea that he will give it all to get him but in truth he will give a lot. If you look at the Titans they have the kid from LSU who done quite well last year but to get Bradford and a bunch of picks leaves them in quite a strong position. If Mariota was still there at 5, the Redskins COULD take him.

My question is if he is that good why are crappy teams like the Jags are not trying to get him? The last time I checked they don't have a franchise QB.

Tampa will take the FSU kid
Jags took a project QB last year
Raiders took Carr last year and will get a WR
Titans = Eagles trade
Redskins = Chip won't risk him falling to 5

Just my opinion.

So if they took a QB last year and you hear all this talk about him that means as you get him as the team with the number 1 pick.

Sanchez or Bradford will be moved before the draft to get the Eagles that No.2 pick and give Kelly the QB that he wants.
