Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles

Even Tier: major Confidence: high

The quarterback swap produced more long-term value than either starter's 2015 season suggests. Philadelphia got a full season from Sam Bradford, then traded him to Minnesota in 2016 for a first-round pick and additional draft value. St. Louis received Nick Foles, Andrew Donnal and a 2016 second-rounder; Foles failed, but that second-round pick became a core piece of the package used to move to No. 1 for Jared Goff. Both teams extracted major downstream value.

Assets Received

Los Angeles Rams
  • Player Nick Foles
  • Pick 2015 4th round pick (119th overall, Andrew Donnal)

Trade 2 of 2

Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

Philadelphia converted Sam Bradford into a 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick while clearing the starting job for Carson Wentz. Those selections became Derek Barnett and Josh Sweat, two defensive contributors to the franchise's championship-era rosters. Because Bradford was no longer central to Philadelphia's plan, turning him into premium draft capital was outstanding asset management and gave the Eagles both immediate roster clarity and long-term value.

Assets Received

Minnesota Vikings
  • Player Sam Bradford
Philadelphia Eagles
  • Pick 2017 1st round pick (14th overall, Derek Barnett)
  • Pick 2018 4th round pick (130th overall, Josh Sweat)
