It's possible (though somewhat unlikely) that this acquisition will end up serving as a stepping-stone toward trading up in the draft in an effort to acquire Marcus Mariota (which would be a good move, regardless of the price paid), but what would it mean for the Eagles' offense if Bradford ended up as the starting quarterback in the 2015 season and beyond?
