The MMQB with Peter King · Sep 5, 2016
Inside the Trade that Could Reshape the 2016 Season
The MMQB's Peter King gives his thoughts on the Minnesota Vikings' trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for QB Sam Bradford.
Saturday, 6:30 a.m., two NFL general managers and good friends on the phone, trying to finish a trade. The subject of sleep comes up. Neither Philadelphia’s Howie Roseman nor Minnesota’s Rick Spielman has had any of significance during the night, not since they’d last been on the phone five-and-a-half hours earlier.
