Report: Sam Bradford tells Eagles he wants trade
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford has reportedly informed the team that he would like the be traded.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Bradford is not planning to show up to any more offseason workouts.
Eagles have been informed Sam Bradford wants to be traded and he will not be showing up for their off-season program any longer, per source.

Schefter’s report completely contradicts an earlier one we heard from Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, who says he was outright lied to by an Eagles source if Bradford does, in fact, want to be traded.
Whether he is looking to get out of Philly or not, Bradford is said to be very angry that the Eagles traded up to the No. 2 spot in the draft, where they will almost certainly draft a quarterback. Bradford only signed a two-year extension with the Eagles this offseason, so he could conceivably still be their starter until the rookie — Jared Goff or Carson Wentz — is ready to take over.
Bradford’s short time with the Eagles has been littered with trade rumors and flip-flopping over how committed the team truly is to him. He is guaranteed $22 million with his new deal and didn’t seem to generate much interest from other teams, so trading him would be difficult.
