Air Max 90 Cheap Wholesale .In return, the Eagles will receive the Vikings first-round draft pick in 2017 as well as a conditional fourth-rounder in 2018.If the Vikings reach the NFC Championship Game this season, the conditional fourth-round pick in 2018 will become a third-round pick, according to sources. If the Vikings win the Super Bowl, it will become a second-round pick.The Vikings had inquired about Bradford after Bridgewaters injury earlier this week, sources told ESPNs Adam Caplan, but the Eagles were said to be happy with Bradfords progress this preseason. Talks picked up Friday, but even by Saturday morning, Bradford believed hed be in Philadelphia for the season.My initial reaction was surprise, Bradford said. Its something I really didnt think was a possibility. It kind of caught me off guard, but I think after the surprise, I was quickly filled with excitement for a new chapter and the opportunity ahead of me.General manager Rick Spielman said Thursday night he wouldnt mortgage the Vikings future to acquire a quarterback who might be in Minnesota only for the 2016 season. On Saturday evening, though, Spielman said he believed he hadnt done that with the trade for Bradford, giving two reasons: With eight picks in the 2017 draft, including two in the third and fourth rounds, the Vikings still have the ability to move back into the first round next spring. And with Bridgewaters recovery potentially stretching near the beginning of the 2017 season, the Vikings liked that theyd have another option for 2017 in case Bridgewater wasnt ready.Mortgaging the future, to me, was asking for some of our younger players -- current Pro Bowlers or significant players on this roster, Spielman said. Thats where I said I would not mortgage the future, giving any of the young players that are currently on our roster up. I think everybody knows how we feel about Teddy, but to me, it was just too unique of an opportunity to bring in a caliber of player like Sam Bradford. Going into next year, we have two very talented quarterbacks.With Bradfords exit, first-round pick Carson Wentz is expected to be the Eagles starter if he has sufficiently recovered from his rib injury, sources told ESPN. Wentz suffered a hairline rib fracture during the teams first preseason game Aug. 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and did not play in the final three preseason games.The Eagles traded with the Cleveland Browns to move up and select Wentz at No. 2 overall in this years draft.Though the Eagles said they had planned to bring Wentz along slowly, Philadelphias executive vice president of football operations, Howie Roseman, said Wentzs preparation has accelerated the timetable.Our interaction with him and our discussions with him, hes come a long way, even since we got him in April, Roseman said.Roseman added that Eagles brass already felt Wentz would be ready to take over as the teams starter should the opportunity to trade Bradford arise.Hes worked out the last couple of days before he came back to practice and just seeing him with his receivers and his ability to verbalize the play call and, really, his comfort level in that, Roseman said.Despite the praise of Wentzs rapid maturation, Roseman said the Vikings interest is what ultimately led to the move.This was not our blueprint; this was not part of the plan, he said. But as we sit, we have to be flexible, and we have to be able to take advantage of opportunities that give us an opportunity to get where we want to be. Our organization has had a run of success at some point, but we are trying to get that trophy, and to do that, sometimes youve got to do things like this that arent so easy to do the week before the season starts.Chase Daniel?is likely to begin the regular season as the Eagles backup.Bradford re-signed with the Eagles in March to a two-year, $35 million deal with $22 million fully guaranteed. The Eagles paid Bradfords $11 million signing bonus, a source told Caplan, but the Vikings are responsible for the rest of his contract -- $20 million in base salaries and a $4 million March 2017 roster bonus.Bradford now will play for his sixth offensive coordinator, Norv Turner, in seven seasons. Vikings tight ends coach Pat Shurmur was Bradfords offensive coordinator with the Eagles last season and for two seasons (2009-10) with the Rams. Shurmurs input, Spielman said, played a major role in the Vikings decision to trade for Bradford. Roseman gave Vikings director of sports medicine Eric Sugarman, who worked for the Eagles from 2000 to 2005, permission to speak directly with Philadelphias medical staff, and Spielman said the Vikings felt comfortable with the health of Bradford, who has torn the ACL in his left knee twice.Bradford, the first overall selection in the 2010 draft out of Oklahoma, has thrown for 14,790 yards, 78 touchdowns and 52 interceptions in 63 career games, all of which have been starts.He will be reunited with former Sooners teammate Adrian Peterson, who was told of the trade before Saturdays Oklahoma-Houston game.Im pumped, Peterson said.The Vikings had four quarterbacks on their roster, but they waived undrafted rookies Joel Stave and Brad Sorensen, while putting second-year signal-caller Taylor Heinicke on the reserve/non-football injury list. Heinicke could be ready to practice in three weeks, league sources told ESPN, but would not be able to return for the first six weeks of the season.Journeyman quarterback Shaun Hill had taken over as the starter after Bridgewater was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Spielman would not say whether Hill or Bradford would start on Sept. 11 against the Tennessee Titans, but its believed Hill -- who has been with the Vikings for two years after his 2014 season as Bradfords teammate in St. Louis -- has the edge to start the first game because of his familiarity with the offense. Bradford said he planned to immerse himself in the Vikings playbook on Saturday evening, and if he doesnt start against the Titans, he could be ready for the Vikings Sunday night home opener the following week against the Green Bay Packers.ESPNs Adam Caplan, Adam Schefter, Dan Graziano and Jake Trotter contributed to this report.

Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Cheap Air Max 90 Sale . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. http://www.clearanceairmax90.com/ . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. George Groves has been inspired by training alongside Carl Frampton and insists he has got his killer instinct back.The Briton faces Eduard Gutknecht at Wembley Arena Friday, and is aiming for a fourth successive win since losing a split points decision to WBC world super-middleweight champion Badou Jack last September.That setback followed stoppage losses to Carl Froch for world titles in 2013 and 2014, but Groves is rebuilding his career after switching trainers.He swapped Adam Booth for Shane McGuigan, the son of former world featherweight champion Barry, after the Jack defeat.Ive found a trainer who understands what I do well, Groves said of McGuigan, who also works with WBA world featherweight champion Frampton and David Haye at a south London gym.The stuff hes doing with Frampton makes sense to do with me as well. Im back with that killer instinct.Shane gets me to punch hard and my timing is back to its best. Instead of waiting for opportunities, Im able to set them and land them a lot better. I dont have to be too specific with a game plan now.Theres a good chemistry in thhe gym. Nike Air Max 90 For Sale Cheap. Carl has been back a few weeks now and I will watch him train before I do. Its fascinating because you feel privileged training alongside exceptional fighters like that.You want to push on because the guy next to you is doing well and I want to do the same.Groves impressively out-pointed Martin Murray last June and is predicting big things again. This fight will show that I mean business again, he said.Hopefully people will take notice and see what Im capable of. He [Gutknecht] is not someone I will take lightly. This might not be a world title fight, but I cant look past him and I need to win well. It will be a step up from the Murray fight.Gutknecht 34, was out-pointed by German Juergen Braehmer in a world light-heavyweight title fight last March and is an experienced campaigner.I would like to get rid of him, but hes a fit lad and can take a shot well. Hes only been stopped on a cut. I need to look good in this one, Groves said.
