Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Cleveland are all viable landing spots for Bradford, but I'm not convinced that Denver nor New York are willing to put up the money to get him based on their current salary cap situation, which caused the mass exodus from Denver following the Super Bowl. He isn't worth that contract to any team, maybe besides Philly, and he doesn't want to be there. In order for a trade to go through, I think Philly would have to stomach a large cap hit in order to make any team interested, even then Bradford may have to ask for a release, then pick up a lesser contract elsewhere.

Bradford has not been a good NFL starter, but it would be nice for the Eagles to keep around a QB with starting experience to give (presumably) Wentz a bit of mentorship before he gets thrown into the fire. Bradford may want to start, but I'm not sure thats feasible for him anymore considering his injury and shaky at best play. If he plays well in Philly he can keep his contract, and maybe swing a trade later next season if his value goes up.
