Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is not interested in being traded to the San Francisco 49ers because he does not want to play for Chip Kelly, reports Jeff Darlington of NFL.com.

Projected to be Philadelphia’s starting quarterback next season, Bradford has asked for a trade after his team traded up to the No. 2 spot in th draft to take a quarterback.

One potential landing spot seemed like San Francisco, where Kelly ended up after being fired by the Eagles. The 49ers have dealt with their own quarterback issues this offseason, as Colin Kaepernick has requested a trade.

Darlington also reports that the New York Jets are not interested in Bradford.

Bradford went 7–7 in his first season as the starter in Philadelphia. He completed 65% of his passes, throwing for 3,725 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
