The Minnesota Vikings have found the solution to their quarterback problem, acquiring Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for two draft picks, according to ESPN's Ed Werder:

Minnesota was in the market for a new quarterback after Teddy Bridgewater suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice this week, which many thought would kill their chances of competing for the Super Bowl.
For Philadelphia, Chase Daniel becomes the starting quarterback. He has been a career backup to this point, splitting his six seasons in the league with the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs. Daniel played under new Eagles head coach Doug Pederson with the Chiefs, where Pederson was the offensive coordinator.
Also, No. 2 pick Carson Wentz becomes Philadelphia's backup. The Eagles had expressed interest in essentially "redshirting" him this year and keeping him out of every game, but now they are not afforded that luxury.
