Report Broncos called about Sam Bradford
Just because wants out of Philadelphia doesn't mean it's going to happen. Hours after Bradford demanded on Monday, a team actually called the inquiring about a po sible deal.According to Mike Klis of , the called and asked about Bradford's availability.So what did the Eagles say?The two sides couldn't work out a deal because Philly's "asking price was too
NHL Chicago Blackhawks Jersey high," according to Klis.It's not clear what the Eagles wanted or what the Broncos offered, but no matter what it was, it was better than nothing, which is how the Eagles should've been thinking during the trade talks with Denver. Keeping an unhappy quarterback on the roster likely isn't going to work out well for either side and if you can get something in return for a disgruntled quarterback, you should almost always do it.It's not like a Bradford trade would kill the Eagles' QB depth either, the team would likely still have two capable quarterbacks on the roster heading into training camp ( and the No. 2 pick).If the trade had gone down, it would've been the second time this offseason that Eagles shipped a quarterback to Denver.

Although Bradford wants out of Philly, Eagles executive vice president Howie Roseman doesn't sound like someone who's interested in making a trade."Well, Sam is entitled to his feelings but we've made it clear to him and to our fans that he's our starting quarterback," Roseman . "We have an obligation to think about our franchise in terms of the total picture."Roseman might

Bradford's agent, Tom Condon, confirmed on Monday that his client wants to be traded and that Bradford won't be attending any voluntary workouts until it happens."Sam wants the opportunity to go someplace and not only be the starter, but be the starter there long-term," Condon . "The offseason program is voluntary and he certainly can make his wishes known with regard to wanting to go someplace else and setup and be there for the rest of his career."The problem with staying in Philly is that Bradford will always be looking over his shoulder, according to Condon. "If you're on a

Jan Rutta Jersey want you benched though, Condon said that teammates will also want to see Bradford bench if he starts to struggle."You better play well or your teammates are going to be looking at you sideways and be wondering when the next guy is going to step in," Condon said. "The other players understand that you're a short-term guy and you're going to be out of there even if you play well. Sam would like to forego that." Based on Condon's tone and what he said, it will be a surprise if Bradford's in an Eagles uniform when the 2016 season begins in September.
