Eagles get their man, but what about Bradford?

Let the Carson Wentz era begin.

Right after the end of the Sam Bradford Era.

Only problem is, Bradford is still here.

The Eagles rolled the dice and got the guy they apparently want, with the blue-chip quarterback prospect from North Dakota State. But the Eagles still have not reconciled just what they are going to do with Bradford, who has indicated he wants a trade and will not report for the team's voluntary workouts.

So far Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson are sticking to their story, that Bradford is the Birds' starter and Wentz is the face of the franchise in waiting.

If that sounds familiar - especially to Pederson - it should. It was exactly the same situation then-QB Pederson faced back in 1999, when he was the Birds' starter while Donovan McNabb carried a clipboard on the sidelines.

That lasted all of nine games.

I don't expect the Bradford saga to last that long.

Don't be surprised if Bradford gets traded today.

As for the draft, here's what Bob Grotz had to say.

And at least one other person is trying to figure out exactly what the Eagles are doing. That would be columnist Jack McCaffery.
