After a few weeks as the topic du jour on local sports talk radio, Sam Bradford is sticking around in Philadelphia for a few more years. As hard as it is to believe, people had some opinions on the subject. Here they are:
Excited for you man keep balling #sammyboy https://t.co/fRc7U73nJg

So in summary, the Eagles paid Sam Bradford $18mm/season on the strength of one 7-game stretch that wasn't even impressive.

This Bradford deal makes tons of sense. Two years, limited commitment for both sides with health issues, new coach, etc.

Props to Howie. Market clearly wasn't there outside of Philly. Not much different from Foles deal with Rams IIRC

Waiting on numbers, but the fact #Eagles signed Sam Bradford to only a 2-year deal suggests they played their cards well.

The Eagles and Sam Bradford were smart to take a chance on each other. https://t.co/c0Nuwb43au

Bradford $18m/yr, per @AdamSchefter. Makes sense. Trial period for Bradford/Pederson on both sides.

Even average QB's have real leverage in today's #NFL. #sadbuttrue

Win/win for Eagles and Bradford. Exactly what should've happened. No surprise here.

Bradford is NFL’s Rorschach test People see what they want.
— Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) March 1, 2016
Eagles lost leverage on Bradford when not demanding contract extension as part of trade. Couldn't make deal after that, now paying for it.
— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) March 1, 2016
I don’t understand https://t.co/SCVvj7xFjg
— Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) March 1, 2016
Two year deal for Bradford means the Eagles could still be drafting one. I hear they want one in this draft
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) March 1, 2016
Withholding comment Bradford deal til see full contract. No 1 gets 72% of deal guar, or $26M guar on just a 2yr deal. Color me a skeptic
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) March 1, 2016
2yr deal for Bradford???? Looks like Howie won this battle!!!!
— Ike Reese (@Ike58Reese) March 1, 2016
I don't love Bradford, but at least he's not McNabb
— FakeWIPCaller (@FakeWIPCaller) March 1, 2016
Howie legit pulled off what I thought he couldn't.

We can agree on this: no one in sports has made so much for do little as Sam Bradford.

Fans should b happy #Eagles signed Sam Bradford. 2 years gives team time to make decision beyond 2 yrs. Agent knew not big Mkt @FOX29philly
— Howard Eskin (@howardeskin) March 1, 2016
Former #Eagles RB @36westbrook doesn't think Sam Bradford is worth $15 million or more. #NFL https://t.co/wj1KKBaTie pic.twitter.com/WzDGeDXdV1

It's legitimately amazing that people still think there's some unknown "upside" remaining to Bradford. We've seen his best, it's not great.
— EaglesRewind (@EaglesRewind) March 1, 2016
Two year deal suggests that none of the other teams even took his #LastSevenGames seriously.

It's fine. It's fine. WHO CARES ITS FINE
