The Eagles took a bit of a risk when they traded for one year of Sam Bradford and his one year of contract.

And now, their quarterback isn’t sure where he stands in their future plans, or whether he wants to be part of them.

Via Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, Bradford was very noncommittal when asked about his future with the Eagles, after coach Chip Kelly said he was excited about Bradford’s progress and talked openly about the future.

“I’ll get into that in the offseason. I’ll think about that in the offseason,” Bradford said. “I’m not too worried about what’s going to happen three or four months down the line. We’ve got a big game this weekend against Arizona, that’s what I want to focus on.”

Bradford’s in the final year of his rookie deal, and the Eagles could always squat on his rights with the franchise tag, if they want to sink $20 million into the second year of the project.

And while he might not be an ideal candidate for the future, he’s played better the second half of the season and shown signs it might work. But there has been no movement toward a long-term deal, since talks broke off in the preseason.

And after a number of questions, Bradford eventually admitted some degree of affection for the Eagles, and Kelly’s comments about wanting him to stay.

“It’s great to hear those things,” Bradford said. “But I don’t think that really means a whole lot or is going to change the way I approach things. I’m sure I’ll pay more attention to that stuff in the offseason.”

That’s far from a ringing endorsement, or leaping into Kelly’s arms to forge a long-term relationship. But as the rest of the season plays out, watching this courtship from afar will remain one of the more fascinating subplots as teams head toward offseason decisions.
