So we still don't know the OFFICIAL terms of the Eagles-Rams trade involving Nick Foles and Sam Bradford. All that we DO know for sure is that the two teams have swapped quarterback. We also know draft picks are involved, but it's unclear which picks they actually are.
In the meantime, here's how everyone is reacting to this crazy trade!
The Philly connection with Bradford is Pat Shurmur, who presumably would know how a healthy Bradford fits Chip Kelly's offense.

Sam Bradford suffered an ACL tear in each of the last two seasons.

Reported last month Rams were in Foles. #Eagles shopped him hard at Senior Bowl. Not surprised it happened.

Welp... Never a dull moment.

Bradford is in the final year of his contract. Scheduled to make just under $13 million this season.

I don’t know what’s happening.

Don’t worry, Eagles fans, I’m sure the team will explain its reasoning for all of these moves to the media.

For the financials -- the Rams absorb Bradford's cap hit (around $3.6M). Eagles would be on hook for the base salary ($12.9M and change)

Only 7 active QBs have attempted 1,700 passes and averaged worse than 6.7 YPA. Two (Sanchez and Bradford) are on the Eagles.

Remember what Sam Hinkie said about optionality? We might be seeing it now with Eagles...

From @MarkEckel08: Sam Bradford trade seems like the first of another move to come. #Eagles http://t.co/wGR2tRqvPt

As @AlbertBreer said, #Eagles-#Rams are swapping picks (don't know which round yet) and a 2016 conditional going to the Birds.

I'm told by Rams that Bradford-Foles trade does NOT involve swap of first-round picks.

Chip Kelly made his feelings on Nick Foles clear with Mark Sanchez signing. Trade gives Foles opportunity to play for team that wants him.

Our @MarkEckel08 reported 3 weeks ago that @eagles would try to make two moves up draft board to get Mariota. One down ...
