The Philadelphia Eagles have hired former Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator John DeFilippo as their quarterbacks coach.
Mike Garafolo brings up a huge point. Will Sam Bradford be the main quarterback DeFilippo works with in his first season?
Bradford, of course, is entering the offseason as a free agent. The 28-year-old quarterback is coming off of a six-year, $78 million deal, and is reportedly asking for an absurd $25 million per year.

This isn't DeFilippo's first rodeo as a quarterbacks coach. He worked as one for the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets. His most recent efforts, in Oakland, helped Derek Carr become a household name.
