Rumors are swirling in NFL personnel meetings that a three-way trade could send Sam Bradford to the Browns, the #2 pick to the Eagles (presumably to draft Marcus Mariota), and two first round picks with DT Fletcher Cox and LB Mychal Kendricks to the Titans. (Mark Eckel at NJ.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Though it's interesting that it's getting traction with NFL personnel, it's just a rumor until proven otherwise. Similar rumors of a 3-way trade have been circulating, involving Philip Rivers to the Titans, Bradford to the Chargers, and the #2 pick for the Eagles. Speculation is running rampant that Chip Kelly is angling to draft Mariota. The Titans would greatly benefit from this trade, shoring up their defense with two promising players and two first round draft picks. However, Cleveland and Philly would be giving up a lot in this trade, which casts a shadow over its credibility. If this trade were to actually happen, Bradford's fantasy value would remain somewhat middling as a starter for the Browns. Mariota would be a late round fantasy lotto ticket on the Eagles, though rookie QBs who use their legs do sometimes put up points.
