Quarterback

  1. Sam Bradford
  2. Chase Daniel
  3. Carson Wentz

As weird as it is after all that’s gone on this offseason, this is Sam Bradford’s football team. The Eagles may have traded up to select Carson Wentz No. 2 overall, but that does not mean he is ready to start for the Eagles immediately. This is absolutely going to be a redshirt year for Wentz as Bradford will remain under center for the Eagles for at least one more year. If Bradford underperforms or gets injured (very likely), expect Chase Daniel to me the next man up. The Eagles want to be patient with Wentz and throwing him into the fire is not something the team is interested in doing.
