    I get it, they could have told Wentz not to say shit....but if you take Wentz at his word that the eagles haven't said shit to him and the fact they just got Bradford I mean....is it possible they're after someone else?

    Essentially ESPN and NFL network have told these top two team to not announce who they will take.....so as not to "destroy" the value of their little reality TV show. They feel that if the teams divulge who they are going to take that it will take away from the drama and they would have a bit of a drop in the rating. That is what that is all about. Because of this the teams do not definitively tell the players they are going to take them, because they don't want the player letting the cat out of the bag. Again...it is all for their prime time TV ratings.

    Exactly Gip. I believe it's still on the books that the #1 overall team can start negotiating with the guy they're taking. But with the rookie salary scale now in place- there's no particular urgency to do so.

      My first reaction to Bradford going crybaby, and asking for a trade. Maybe they moved up for Tunsil!!! Stop you're crying and whining!

        No, you don't sell the farm for any other position other than a franchise QB.

        BUF traded two firsts and a fourth for a WR. I highly doubt they moved up for someone other than a QB, but who knows

        First, that's not "the farm".

        Second, if you recall, Watkins was one of those "final piece" moves.... same as Julio was a few years before for ATL.

          I hate the networks milking this for all its worth. Give me the old days and tell Roger Goodell to go pound salt.

            So adding a second rounder makes it the farm?

                        That was just a stupid move on Buffalo's part.
