What if Sam Bradford Never Became a Minnesota Viking?
Shockingly, Teddy Bridgewater decimated his knee shortly before the 2016 season was about to begin. Minnesota’s desire to build off of a division-winning 2015 was instantly tossed into disarray; very few teams could withstand losing their QB1 with the year set to begin.
Sam Bradford was a solution.
Rick Spielman was put in an impossible situation and decided to pull off a major move. The former GM called Philadelphia and put together a major trade package to bring Sam Bradford — a former first-overall selection — to town. The cost to acquire Bradford was a 2017 1st-round pick and a 2018 4th-round selection.
The Sam Bradford Trade
Bradford did an admirable job for the Vikings in 2016.
