Here it is folks: Chip Kelly talking about the Marcus Mariota rumors.

Quote:"Let's dispel that right now," Kelly said. "I think that stuff's crazy. You guys have been going with that stuff all along. I think Marcus is the best quarterback in the draft. We will never mortgage our future to go all the way up to get somebody like that because we have too many holes to take care of."

 

Meanwhile Sam Bradford said he had known for several weeks he might be traded to Philadelphia.

Quote:"This had been in the works for a while," Bradford said. "So it didn't catch me totally by surprise when it happened yesterday."

 

That makes me think what Chip Kelly said is not smokescreen, considering the fact Mark Sanchez re-signed with the team. Mariota would be the third string quarterback if the Eagles draft him. But the Rams lied to reporters before trading Bradford, insisting he will be their quarterback this year. Apparently they have secret plans for the pick they got from the Eagles.
