As far as giving up a first round pick for Bradford who cares? There is no guarantee that first round draft picks are going to be superstars. See Matt kalil or corduroy Patterson. Drafting is a crapshoot.

By the time the snow flies vikings fans will have forgotten about Bridgewater. A nice guy that says everything right but never was and will never be an above average nfl qb
. he will be lucky to be able to walk without a limp. As far as returning to the nfl. Forget it.
For them to give up that much, u may be right about hls future in the nfl

1st round pics are considered the hottest commodity you can get. Cant agree its a 50/50 crapshot. Little better likely hood a 1st round pick will be good vs no good.
A first round pick is quite possibly a cheap young pro bowler. In a salary cap young mans game that is worth more than anything. Still cant believe they gave 1 for bradford. He doesnt finish a 16 game season very often. Eagles made out like bandits.

What were they supposed to do, go for proven NON-starters, like Sanchez? Stay with Hill and Stave? Nope, had to get someone like Bradford, for THIS YEAR. Was the price steep? Maybe, maybe not. Bradford was a #1 overall in 2010. The pick the Eagles get will most likely be in the 20's anyway.
This is a move they HAD to make, let's see how it plays out. If you were Bradford, you'd probably be one of the most motivated guys in the league! I would be on the first plane to MN, and reading the play book on the way. What an opportunity for the guy, going from a "going no where" Eagles team, to making a team better that is poised for a playoff run. Let's hope he plays like it.....

Agree Bradford fell into a gold mine and odd man out in Philly. Good for him & good for Vikings.

Pace cut Robbie Gould....I saw this coming last year when he missed game wining chip shots. Fox said he had faith in Robbie but Pace not so much..lol... I'm ok with the cut. Others opinions?

More interesting than that how come the Packers let Sitton go without a replacement in place? Also no long snapper on Pack right now. The opener is a week away. What is up with that?

$3 million but not so much for an NFL player, imo, but maybe a lot for a kicker? Pace said he topgraded Gould better kicker available so he fired Gould hired new kicker simply because he was available which tells me a lot about Pace and Fox. If not their guy and you don't produce for top pay bye -bye. I'm thinking Cutler is next probably oldest player on the team now.... Bears maybe 500 at best this year so better QB available bye-bye Cutler and big cap dollars. If the young Bears are dismal this year young gun QB with legs sure to be drafted in 2017. I doubt the Bears will surprise anyone this year lots of holes or very thin & TE is terrible after Miller.

Watt not going to play a lot won't overdo his recovery from back surgery.

Sitton was not a "cap cut" and the Packers did not have "lots of cap problems". 6 million under before and 12.5 million under now. What would you know, you're a Bears fan aren't you?

What is wrong with Pernell McFee? They kind of need him.

Delayed recovery from an off season knee surgery. Wasn't supposed to be a big deal but guess he needs 6 more weeks.

Money def has something to do with releasing sitton. Was not the only reason but they said he was not willing to take a pay cut that Thompson wanted. Either way helps da bears.
FYI,,,, he had the worst pass completion percentage in the NFL last year for QB's throwing X amount of passes.
In other words not only is he injury prone he sucks.

Bradford known for quick release and accurate passing you can't teach skill like that you either have it or you don't. How fast Bradford can learn the Vikes system is the question? Joining back up with his old bud AP is a good thing too. I hope it all works out well & good luck to the Vikes this year!

He didn't say that, and I don't deny money had something to do with it. He said it was about cap problems - they don't have cap problems in the most conservative organization in football. Not trying to start a P'ing contest but this was about something more than salary cap and money. If it was about money you don't go thru an entire training camp with the guy and cut him a week before the 1st game, you cut him before OTA's. It remains to be seen if it helps the Bears, assuming they can be helped in a significant way this year anyway.Money def has something to do with releasing sitton.

I personally don't understand this, and I've been a Packer fan for 50+ years.

Probably becausr after OTAs and pre season he was not worth the money he was making. Doesnt want to take pay cut then see ya. I did read it wasnt a popular locker room decision but sometimes ya gota do what ya gota do.
FYI,,,, he had the worst pass completion percentage in the NFL last year for QB's throwing X amount of passes.
In other words not only is he injury prone he sucks.
He also had the highest percentage of drops, by a large margin. (1 in 10 were drops for Bradford) AND, he had the highest percentage of passes picked off, that went off the recievers face mask (And other bodily parts).
Are the Vikings recievers going to make up for that? Who knows.
No matter the cost, they were not going into the season with Shawn Hill as the season plan. They had to do something, and this was it. I think the Vikings still have 6 or 7 picks in rounds 2-4 next year. They could easily trade to move back into the first round.
Who else were they going to get, for THIS year???

He is probably there best option this year i agree with that. But if he doesnt perform you could of gotten sanchez or mccown or someone else that you could of kept your draft pics. Like i said that trade is a waste if the dont at least make the playoffs. Not to mention the odds of Bradford actually completing a 16 game season isnt that great. I understand why they did it, just not a move i would have done. Eagles committed highway robbery
