Eagles' Roseman maintains Bradford 'is our starting QB'
Sam Bradford may want out, but the Philadelphia Eagles still appear to be planning for him to lead their offense in 2016.
Howie Roseman, the Eagles' executive vice president of football operations, told John Clark of CSN Philadelphia on Monday that the team remains set on having the veteran signal-caller return as a starter.
"I want to reiterate our support for Sam Bradford," Roseman said. "He is our starting quarterback."
Reports of Bradford demanding a trade surfaced earlier in the day Monday, presumably a direct response to the team's recent blockbuster move to trade for the second overall pick in the upcoming draft.
In moving up six spots from the No. 8 slot, the Eagles are now in position to select one of the consensus top two quarterbacks.
Such a move, regardless of plans for the 2016 campaign, would leave Bradford with an uncertain future just weeks after he rejoined the club on a two-year, $35-million deal.
The Eagles have not yet given him permission to speak with other teams, reports Mike Klis of 9News.
Bradford started 14 games in his first season with the Eagles, racking up a career-best 3,725 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.
