Did Philly Make the Right Move?

Chip Kelly's controversial trade for Sam Bradford may not be a horrible move, like everyone is making it out to be. Sam Bradford is a former number one overall pick out of Oklahoma, a man who who the Heisman trophy and led his Sooners to the national championship game. Bradford ran a fast paced offense using a lot of quick throws, similar to the kind of offense Chip Kelly uses. Bradford could really be a great fit with the Philadelphia Eagles. The real questionable part about this move is the fact that Bradford has been injured much of his career, rarely able to play a full season. He is also a much more expensive player than the man he was traded for Nick Foles. Folks makes around $600,000 a year, while Bradford costs around $13 million. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out, but I'm not one to question Chip Kelly yet, he has won everywhere he's coached thus far.
