Philadelphia Eagles quarterback San Bradford has reportedly informed the team he wants to be traded and won’t attend offseason practices.

Less than a week after the Philadelphia Eagles traded up to the second pick in Thursday’s NFL Draft, in all likelihood to draft one of the two top quarterback prospects in the first round, the team is dealing with a new demand from their current starting quarterback.

Sam Bradford, who the team acquired in a trade last year with the now Los Angeles Rams, has reportedly told the team that the no longer wants to play in the City of Brotherly Love after the team appears ready to look elsewhere:

Bradford was traded for by the Eagles in exchange for fellow quarterback Nick Foles and several draft picks, becoming the team’s starter for the season. He went 7-7 during the 14 games he played in during the year. He suffered a shoulder injury and concussion during the team’s loss to the Miami Dolphins and missed two games after that.

The Philadelphia Eagles made a trade with the Cleveland Browns for the second overall pick in the draft (in addition to the teams exchanging multiple later round picks over the next three years). It is thought that the team will select either Jared Goff or Carson Wentz with their pick, depending on which signal caller the Rams select with the top overall pick (acquired in a trade with the Tennessee Titans).
