The Eagles Re-Sign Quarterback, Sam Bradford

The Philadelphia Eagles have their quarterback for the next the two years as they have re-signed, Sam Bradford. 

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported broke the news on Twitter late Tuesday afternoon that the Eagles and Quarterback, Sam Bradford agree to a two year deal worth $36 ($18 per year) million, $26 million ($13 million guaranteed per year) of it is guaranteed. Tuesday at 4 PM ET, was the deadline for teams to franchise players and some believed that the Eagles could have put the franchise tag on Bradford even through there were reports that the Eagles weren't gonna do that. 

There won't be a press conference until Bradford returns to Philadelphia and actually signs the deal. 

Even through the Eagles didn't pay a lot for him and it wasn't a long term deal, I felt that the best move was to let him go and just start fresh with a young QB. Meaning drafting a QB in this year's draft and grooming him. Maybe go out and sign another QB for cheaper and let them play for one season and have the rookie learn under him or let the rookie play from the get go; I was willing to do that. 

I wanted the Eagles just to take a risk on a young QB in the draft instead of going with a medicore QB like Sam Bradford for two years. Bradford to me is a mediocre QB that really hasn't done anything since being drafted. I know he was injured and all but still he's played two full seasons in his six year NFL career. His stats are just average, he's only thrown 78 touchdowns in 63 games played, the most touchdowns he has thrown in a season is 21 back in 2012. 

I'm sick of being stuck in mediocrity and having a mediocre QB under center, so I'm hoping that this is just a two year deal and we draft a QB this year or next year and he learns under Bradford. All I want is a FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK and we won't get that in Sam Bradford because he's not a FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK, he is what he is an, average QB. In my opinion, I believe he has reached his potential and won't get any better than he is now. 

Finally, I do not want to be re-signing Bradford in two years again. This was probably the "best option" as a lot of fans have said. I disagree with that but we shall wait and see now. I could be totally wrong about Bradford and he leads us to the playoffs and somehow win the Super Bowl but I don't see that happening at all. Even though I'm against this re-signing now doesn't mean I'm not gonna cheer for them anymore. I will always been an Eagles fan no matter what. At the end of the day all I want is a Super Bowl championship and I don't think re-signing Bradford was the direction to go in.  It is what it is now nothing I can or anybody else can do about it.
