Put it down Bradford.

Quarterbacks have all the leverage in the NFL when it comes to contract negotiations. But Sam Bradford's reported demands from the Eagles were a bit out of whack with the current market.
Appearing on NFL Insiders Wednesday, ESPN's Jim Trotter reported, via The Big Lead, that Bradford wanted a whopper from Philly in his most recent contract chatter, asking for $25 million a year when discussing a contract with Chip Kelly.

Will he replace Glenn Frey? (sarc)
I told the Eagles I would play for $20 million. I’m waiting for their call. I’m sure they’ll call anytime now.
He can check-down any time he wants, he just can’t ever win...
Put it down Bradford.
Sam is delusional
Samuel Jacob has two Old Testament names so as far as I am concerned he should take as much as he can get
Astute and cute.
Sam’s way of saying, “Get me the h-ll out of Philadelphia”
Oh yeah, well I will do the job for 15 Million.
I'm sorry Sam, you're not an elite QB yet. Maybe someday, but you're in the lower middle of the pack so far.
I’ll take $5, a box of cracker jacks...and throw in Matthew Stafford.
Bradford sees a lot of teams out there desperate for a franchise QB. He just might get what he wants from one of them.
Ding Ding Ding... We Have A WINNER!
ESPN cable price will go up again....
You would start more games than Bradford.
Maybe his agent suggested they start high and work their way down?
