On the same day Eagles head coach Chip Kelly introduced quarterback Sam Bradford to the media, he casually (or purposely) mentioned that a team had offered him a first-round pick for Bradford.

Kelly's comments were further backed up when St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher also said his team had an offer on the table for Bradford of a first-round pick.

Neither coach revealed which team was chasing Bradford, but the answer might have been revealed during the Michael Kay show on ESPN New York 98.7 by NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly.

Speaking about the Cleveland Brown's pursuit of a quarterback, Casserly had this to say about just how badly they wanted a new signal caller.

"I'm looking at Cleveland, the information I have is that they offered a (first-round pick) for Sam Bradford, ok, so clearly they're aggressive in trying to get a quarterback," Casserly said. "They've got two (first-round picks). (They) can't be sold on what (they've) got. I think they'll be aggressive in the draft."

If it was the Browns that offered both the Eagles and Rams a first-round pick, chances are that pick was No. 19, and not the team's additional pick at No. 12.

The Eagles turning down a first-round pick for Bradford could be viewed as showing a level of commitment to the quarterback that some are skeptical they actually have.

Coming off of two torn ACLs, and holding a $12.9 million price tag next season, Bradford was originally looked at as a trade chip when he was acquired last week for quarterback Nick Foles.

Since bringing the Bradford on, however, Kelly has been clear that he views him as an upgrade from Foles, and plans to have him on the roster next season.

Of course, what Kelly says now and what ends up happening may be two different things. If Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota starts to fall in the draft, the Eagles now know they have a trade piece in Bradford that at least one team has a first-round value on.
