Now, quarterback Sam Bradford wants out of Philadelphia.

That prospect was floated by Philadelphia sports-talk personality Reuben Frank on Wednesday night.
Just in case anyone does care what T.O. thinks, you might like to know he said the Eagles’ starting quarterback job is “Sam Bradford’s job to lose”.
“I think obviously he [Bradford] didn’t see it coming and was surprised by it, but I expect it him to be back in the next week or two and be the starting quarterback next year”, Barwin says.
“I don’t want to speak for him”, Barwin said on 97.5 The Fanatic. “For me that’s kind of a sign of a coward, to be honest”. Don’t gripe about, ‘Oh I’m not going to OTAs, I’m not going to do this.’ How about doing something instead of not doing something?
“But it always comes down to how you perform and that’s what I said to him”.
The Eagles want Bradford to be their Week 1 starter while Wentz learns the ropes and signed Bradford to a two-year contract extension in March, with $22 million guaranteed. If the Redskins drafted somebody No. 1 and I was (in a position like) Sam Bradford and I’ve already banked $98 million, then bring it on, guys. “And they were shocked when they told Bradford that they were going up to No. 2 and they were making the trade and investing five picks, and Bradford’s reaction was one of anger, and he abruptly walked out of the offseason training program”. “He never had somebody be drafted behind him like a lot of us have”. There are 10 OTA sessions scheduled between May 17 and June 3.
The big problem with that is, the Eagles traded that pick in the draft trade for Carson Wentz.

Owens said National Football League players need to be confident in themselves – “it shouldn’t matter who they’re drafting or who’s coming in”.
