Sam Bradford, upset when the Philadelphia Eagles drafted quarterback Carson Wentz with the second pick of the NFL Draft, has rejoined the team after a two-week absence.

The veteran quarterback rescinded his trade demand and reported for the Eagles’ voluntary offseason workouts on Monday.

“I’m excited to be back on the field today with my teammates and coaches,” Bradford said in a statement. “The business-side of football is sometimes a necessary consideration. My attention and efforts are focused on the participation in and preparation for a championship season. I am committed to my teammates and the Eagles organization for nothing less.”

The Eagles drafted North Dakota State’s Wentz less than two months after signing Bradford to a two-year, $35 million contract.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has said that Bradford is the team’s starting quarterback for 2016.

The 28-year-old Bradford passed for 3,725 yards and 19 touchdowns with 14 interceptions in 14 games last season as the Eagles posted at 7-9 record to finish second in the NFC East.
