The Philadelphia Eagles say they want Sam Bradford back as their
starting quarterback. But with the start of the free agency signing
period just two weeks away, there still is no guarantee that is

We're not into that decision yet. When we do regarding team building
processes, we'll fill you guys in."

Running back Trent Richardson has been a disappointment in the NFL
ever since he was the No. 3 overall pick out of Alabama in the 2012
NFL Draft.
However, it appears the Baltimore Ravens are willing to give
Richardson one more chance. Al.com reported that the Ravens plan to
sign him soon.
Richardson, 25, was released by the Indianapolis before the start of
the 2015 season and was picked up by Oakland. But he failed to make
the Raiders' opening-game roster. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
