[trade] Sam Bradford Traded to the Vikings

Welp. Bradford got his WISH

I don't think this hurts Diggs' fantasy value at all, nor AP's obviously. Chase Daniels to start over Wentz? He could be a sneaky streamer play....oh, hell, who am I kidding.

Who starts Hill or Bradford?? Bradford stinks..

They didnt take on a $20M contract to sit him. Stink or not Bradford goes...until he gets injured, which is basically guaranteed.

Bridgewater's injury must be truly grotesque for Vikings to make this deal. It reeks of desperation, giving up a 1st and conditional pick. I wonder if the doctors said "This is an 18-month rehab." If that is the case Bridgewater basically misses two seasons.

It's a pretty high price to pay for sure, but the Vikings window is now.

Teddy is probably out for a really long time to pull a move like this, I think.

Drafted Bradford as my 3rd QB, maybe he'll have some value in the end.

We know Bradford's going to start in Minny. The bigger question is who starts in Philly now.

Philly eating part of his salary makes this deal a little easier on the eyes to me.

The Eagles paid $11 million of Bradford's salary as part of the deal, which means Minnesota will only be on the hook for $7 million in 2016, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

It seems to me I saw somewhere talk that Bridgewater may not even be ready for next season which is terrible for the young man never mind the team. High price to pay for a horrible QB but somehow Hull would have been even worse as the starter IMO.

They'll start Wentz if healthy.

I know that Bradford will be the starter, I was just being sarcastic because of the high price the Vikings paid for a guy who may be slightly better then Hill at this point in their careers.. HaHa..

I would think this is what happens. Or at the very least they'll force him in there in the near future, ready or not.

I cant believe the price they paid for Sam Bradford!!!

Love to make jokes, but Bradford isn't as bad as everyone wants to pretend. He played legitimately good in the second half of last season. He's significantly better than Hill.
