Sam Bradford

Sam Bradford and the Philadelphia Eagles have had a sad, sad, year. The Eagles are considered, by most, to be generally out of the running to win the division (although with the NFC East, who knows) and Sam Bradford has had trouble with injuries this year.

On top of dealing with injuries (Bradford hasn’t played a game since Week 10) he’s generally failed to live up to expectations that the ruthless fans in Philadelphia have for him. It’s been a rarity for him to have more than one touchdown per game, and he’s thrown 10 interceptions in the nine games he’s played so far this season. His quarterback rating is at 82.4.

After missing all of 2014 due to an ACL tear, it’s clear he wasn’t the type of quarterback that Philly needs. Although it’s not completely out of the question that he returns to the Eagles, it’s very plausible that he will be looking for a new place of employment this offseason. Apparently before the season began, the Eagles offered Bradford a huge contract, but he declined. This only adds to the speculation that he and the team will be parting ways, as they look to be an awful fit.

Despite his shortcomings this year, he will be one of the most popular quarterbacks on the market, and will have a lot of teams that need a quarterback lobbying for him.
