Report: Eagles trying to trade Bradford to Browns for Manziel and picks in effort to draft Marcus MariotaPosted: 04/07/2015, 01:01pm | Trevor Conley, Digital Editor at Sun Times Network The Eagles appear to have landed themselves in the middle of another crazy trade rumor.According to Chat Sports, the Philadelphia Eagles are “hell-bent” on moving up the draft in order to acquire Marcus Mariota. The Eagles are reportedly working out a deal with the Cleveland Browns that would send Sam Bradford to the Browns for Johnny Manziel and draft picks.This isn’t the first time these two teams have been linked. Previously the Browns were said to have interest in Bradford before the Eagles swooped in. Then there was the report that the Browns had offered the Eagles a first-round pick for Bradford.According to a source very close to an agent involved in the trade talks, the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles have engaged in multiple discussions to send Browns QB Johnny Manziel, who is currently in rehab, and draft picks, to the Eagles in exchange for Eagles QB Sam Bradford, who was recently acquired via trade from the St. Louis Rams. According to our source, both sides are very motivated to get a deal done, with each side valuing the other’s QB more than the QB currently on their rosters.The Eagles allegedly want to move up into the top two to four picks in the NFL Draft, but need the Browns No. 1 pick to be part of the deal.The deal is apparently needs to move past two hurdles:1.Bradford needs to commit to the Browns for more than one season2.The Browns are only willing to offer the Eagles their second round pick.With less than a month till the 2015 NFL Draft the Eagles-Mariota rumors continue to entertain. http://philadelphia.suntimes.com/philadelphia-eagles/7/96/107927/report-eagles-trying-trade-bradford-browns-manziel-picks-effort-draft-marcus-mariota
