Its going to be strange seeing Foles not in an Eagles uni!
The Eagles and Rams closed a deal to trade quarterbacks, sending Sam Bradford from St. Louis in exchange for Nick Foles of Philadelphia. Here are the details of the deal: the Rams get Foles, as well as the Eagles fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft and a second-round pick in 2016; the Eagles get Bradfor and the Rams' fifth-round pick in the 2015 draft. According to Schefter, the Eagles will receive a third-round pick if Bradford does not play at all next season and a fourth-round pick if he starts less than 50 percent of the plays.
The move continues Philadelphia's total scorched-earth rebuilding program; Foles is just one year removed from an exceptional season behind center. Bradford, meanwhile, has twice torn his left ACL in the last two seasons, each time ending his year. He played only seven games in 2013 and none at all in 2014.
Bradford is in the final year of his contract. He could give the Eagles a potential further trading chip in their apparent goal to move upward in the draft. Either that, or the Eagles are going into the season with Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford as their quarterbacks.
