Sam Bradford is an Eagle for now.

In a move that has not been received well by many Eagles fans and panned by most observers, the Eagles announced today they have agreed to terms on a trade that will send quarterback Nick Foles, a fourth round draft pick in 2015 and a second round pick in 2016 to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for quarterback Sam Bradford and the Rams fifth round pick in 2015.

On paper getting a quarterback who was the first overall selection by the Rams in the 2010 NFL Draft and the 2010 Rookie of the Year would seem like a steal.

Bradford (6-4, 224) who has has started 49 career games, throwing for 11,065 yards on 58.6 percent passing with 59 touchdowns and 38 interceptions over his five-year career, has been held back by injuries that cut short just about every season since that great rookie season.

In 2011, A lower body injury bothered Bradford for the majority of the year and the Rams finished a dismal 2-14.

2012 look promising as Bradford and other rookies played well, the Rams finished a respectable 7-8-1. Bradford finished the season with career best numbers. 3,702 passing yards, 21 touchdowns compared to only 13 interceptions and an 82.6 passer rating to go along with 59.5 completion percentage.

2013 started off well enough through the first seven games, Bradford passed for 1,687 yards and 14 touchdowns to just 4 interceptions and 90.9 passer rating. But, during the Rams game against the Carolina Panthers in week 7, Bradford tore his left ACL on a run out of bounds, ending his season.

2014 was a disaster for Bradford and the Rams. In the third preseason game, he re-tore his left ACL, ending his season.

Bradford now 27, set rookie records in completions (354) and attempts (590), while ranking second in league history among rookies in passing yards (3,512).

That run was under the coaching of former Rams offensive coordinator and current Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.

Bradford led the Rams to a six-win improvement in his first season in the league and became just the fourth rookie quarterback in NFL history to take all of his team’s snaps over a 16-game season. During a midseason stretch, he set an NFL rookie record with 174 consecutive attempts without an interception.

But that was five seasons ago and with a more than questionable left knee, Bradford in now an Eagle.

It remains to be seen if Eagles coach Chip Kelly is using Bradford as a chip in his alleged quest for Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, who Kelly coached at Oregon.

Bradford has a reported $12.9 million left on his contract that reports say the Eagles will absorb if he stays with the team.

(10/12/13). He set career highs in passing yards (3,702), touchdown passes (21) and passer rating (82.5) during the 2012 season.

As a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, Bradford became just the second underclassman in NCAA history to receive the Heisman Trophy as he led the Sooners to the 2009 BCS National Title Game. During his collegiate career, Bradford started 31 games, completing 67.6 percent of his passes for 8,403 yards and 88 touchdowns.

A third-round draft choice of the Eagles in 2012, Foles started 24 games during his three-year career, posting 6,753 yards and 46 touchdowns on 61.6 percent passing.
