Could Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford call it quits before the start of the 2016 season? CSN Philly's Reuben Frank believes so. Frank appeared on Quick Slants to discuss Bradford's current situation with the Eagles and said, "I think he's gonna retire." 

"I think he’s had enough," Frank says in the video above. "I don’t think he wants to be here. Honestly, I don’t think anybody else wants him. Maybe you get a 3 or 4, but I doubt it. I think it’s done."

When the Eagles traded up to the second overall pick in this year's draft, signaling the team's intent on grabbing a potential cornerstone quarterback, Bradford saw this as a threat to his starting position and has not responded well . The seven-year veteran reportedly informed the Philadelphia front office that he wants to be traded and threatened to not show up for any of the team's offseason programs.  

Even though Philadelphia inked him to a lucrative two-year, $35 million deal just a little over two months ago, the 28-year-old could leave a whole lot of money on the table in favor of hanging up his cleats for good. While this report sounds a little far-fetched, it is possible that Bradford simply doesn't want to waste his time and spend years riding the bench.
