PHILADELPHIA, April 24 (UPI) -- Some teams are discussing a trade that would send Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Browns for the 19th overall pick, according to Mark Eckel.

The centerpiece of the deal might be a big play for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota to reunite with Eagles coach Chip Kelly. The Eagles would give up Bradford, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, linebacker Mychal Kendricks and that 20th pick to the Browns and Tennessee Titans, in exchange for the Titans' No. 2 overall pick.

The Browns previously offered the No. 19 pick to the Rams for Bradford before the Rams traded him to the Eagles for Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round pick.

Bradford is due to make $12.985 million in the final year of his rookie deal. No "meaningful talks have occurred " regarding a Bradford contract extension, according to Pro Football Talk.

Bradford's career has been largely dissapointing after he signed a six-year, $78 million contract in 2010 with $50 million guaranteed. In 49 career starts, he has completed 58.6 percent of his passes for 11,065 yards, 59 touchdowns and 38 interceptions.
