At this stage you have to sympathise with Sam Bradford. Another year, another system and now the head coach that gave him a chance to fly has been fired which spells an uncertain future for the former number one pick who is set to become a free agent at the end of this season.
However, Bradford recently alluded to wanting to stay in Philadelphia and in his most recent press conference it’s clear to see that is intentions have not faltered despite the recent personnel changes. Bradford told the media:
"You'd like to come back here" "I would, yes" https://t.co/YXLml9Y1xB

“I still enjoy the guys on this team. I enjoy the city. I’ve enjoyed my time here. I think, obviously, a lot of it depends on who they hire as a coach and what kind of offensive scheme he wants to run.”
NFL Network took another quote from the interview which took a slightly different angle.
"Chip was great to me & it's tough to lose him."

Jordan Matthews also chipped in on Bradford’s future in Philadelphia recently by saying: “I feel the same way. I want Sam here,” Matthews said. “I want him to be here and be my quarterback.”
Bradford has certainly grown in the past few weeks and his play has has been indicative of some huge progress being made..but will it be enough to convince the new head coach whomever it may be to keep him for one more year?
