Eagles & Rams
ESPN’s Adam Schefter mentions that withย Sam Bradford starting tonight for the Eagles, the possibility of Philadelphia receiving the Rams 2016 third-round pick will be eliminated.
The Eagles can still get theย Rams 2016 fourth-round pick as part of the trade that involved Bradford heading toย Philadelphia forย Nick Foles.
However, this will come down to the percentageย of snapsย Bradford plays in 2015. If he does not playย at least 50 percent of the Eagles’ plays this season, Philadelphia will get the Ramsโ 2016 fourth-round selection.
The Rams ownย the Eagles 2016 second-round pick no matter what happens with either quarterback.
