Official Sam Bradford - QB (1 Viewer)

[lod001]

Save the $4 mil. He stinks. He's afraid to throw downfield.  He backup material for a good team where he could step in for a game or 2. He's stolen enough $ from NFL teams. The team is going nowhere so get Rosen as many reps as possible.

 

[Tool]

Rosen will be in soon. Bradford looked great at the beginning of last year but now looks awful. I can only guess that the injuries have finally taken their toll - whether it's physical or psychological or a combo.

Minnesota was a much better team than Arizona. Bradford can be a solid game manager on a team with lots of weapons and a solid O-line. But when you put him on a team with a terrible O-line and force him to scramble and improvise? Forget about it.

I like Rosen a lot. He pretty much carried UCLA with it’s horrid defense that was porous and undisciplined. Can’t wait to see him start

Sam Bradford - QB -  Cardinals

Sam Bradford will be inactive for Week 4 against the Seahawks.

He'll be a healthy scratch. It's a cost-saving move for the Cardinals as Bradford is due a $312,500 roster bonus for each week he's active. Mike Glennon will back up Josh Rosen on Sunday and likely for the foreseeable future.

The End.

That's a classic Bidwell move.

He will always be a: ‘what if he had avoided injuries?’

Coach Steve Wilks confirmed Monday that Sam Bradford will remain the Cardinals' third-string quarterback going forward.

Bradford looked like he was hoping to retire in the first 11-plus quarters of the season, and he is now Arizona's third-stringer behind Josh Rosen and new-backup Mike Glennon. The Cards signed Bradford to a two-year, $40 million contract in the offseason. He is making $20 million in salary and bonuses this year and will cost $5 million against Arizona's 2019 cap even after he gets cut.

$20 million to sit on the  bench. Another QB signing that backfired.

wonder if there’s a way to calculate money earned per win or a similar stat- bet he’s 1 and would be surprised if it’s close

Andrew Brandt considers Bradford the headliner for the "Business of Sports" Hall of Fame.

He's earned more money for doing less than anyone else in the history of the league.

 

[az_prof]

He is now a permanent backup going forward I presume. Can't imagine anyone offering him a starting gig now.

 

[Faust]

Cardinals released Sam Bradford.

Hard to fathom Bradford signed a two-year, $40 million contact with the Cardinals in March. At the end of the day, the team paid Bradford his $10 million signing bonus and roughly $3.5 million in base salary and playtime incentives — a total of $13.5 million for three games. Bradford completed 50-of-80 passes for 400 yards, two touchdowns, and four picks in his illustrious tenure with Arizona. Mike Glennon will continue to backup rookie Josh Rosen.

Mr. Bradford, we have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on line 1...

Virtually felonious what he’s done. Best agent ever.

Career earnings: $127.5 Million

83 games, 34-48-1, 103 TDs and 61 int's.

 

[babydemon90]

He'll get a job.  Where?  Bills?  back to Min as a backup?

He lucked out in being drafted before the new CBA too

 

[msommer]

He's 30 years old. Has played the equivalent of 5 years of games over 9 seasons, according to spotrac has career earnings excl sponsorships of $130m

If I were Sam I'd be picking out my tropical beach and hiring a personal bartender right around now

 

[skol asylum]

Bills should be all over this guy. Derek Anderson? C’mon.

At one point not too long back he had earned $1MM for every touchdown pass he threw. He may be above that now.

Forgot I asked that question but my post above provides the answer. It’s actually nearly $4M per win and over $1M per TD

He will get a job.   The NFL is always QB starved.  

 

[Faust]

Free agent Sam Bradford was unable to practice for his final five weeks on the Cardinals' roster.

The main reason Bradford was not claimed by any teams on waivers Monday was because of his massive salary. Lower down the list but still relevant is the fact that Bradford's long-bothersome knee has become "bone on bone" with no cartilage after two ACL surgeries. We'd be surprised if Bradford played again.

Only reason dude would play again is if he really loved the game and would be a willing backup. He's made his cash, dude can do wtf he wants now.

Until this year he's been a solidly mediocre QB. Solidly mediocre QBs are worth a lot of money. He was just a notch below Alex Smith who just signed a $94M contract.

I'm pretty sure you can come up with a long list of other solidly mediocre QBs that in 9 years have made 130m. Go for it

I think you guys are agreeing and saying the same thing.

Well let's see, Joe Flacco has made $100M in the past 5 years. Eli Manning $150M in the past 8. Derek Carr just signed a $125M, 5-year extension.

Whole lotta stupid people in charge of QB analysis across the NFL.

Derek Carr doesn't fit the criteria, which you know.

Care to comment on the one thing Eli and Flacco have got that Sam Bradford doesn't? Is that "mediocre"? 

If you'd said Matt Stafford I might have agreed with you ?

Just because Flacco and Eli won Super Bowls doesn't mean they're good QBs. Plenty of bad QBs have won Super Bowls. Terry Bradshaw won four of them. 

Derek Carr is #12 in passer rating among active QBs. Alex Smith is #14 and Bradford is #19. So he's better but not a lot better.

Is the reason Derek Carr doesn't fit. He will have to wait a few years as the money rolls in....

The point I'm making is that mediocre QBs get big contracts. If Oakland is as bad in 2020 as it is now Carr might get benched, but he'll be their starter in 2019, no question, and he's slated to make over $40M in the next two years.

I think Jimmy Garopollo is way overrated and full of question marks, yet he got paid a mint just to fill the seats at Levi's. 

 

[CalBear]

Ya wanna know who's really walking away with a ton of money? The Oakland Raiders. $335M in revenue, $24M in profit in 2017 for going 6-10. And they'll probably make more this year for going 1-15. And they're getting $750M in public money for a new stadium.

Or the Cleveland Browns who made $375M in revenue, $31M in profit for going 0-16 last year.

Jake Delhomme got two huge contracts in back to back years if I remember correctly. And was cut both years. Might be the biggest heist I can think of.

He can't be that bad if he won 4.

Dan Marino is one of the best ever & never won a SB, so does he stink?

Read somewhere last week that his knee is bone on bone or something and not many if any teams are interested. I forget which talking head mentioned it.

Uh, no. Marino is a great QB who mostly had mediocre teams. Bradshaw is a crappy QB who had a great team. 

In one of those Super Bowl wins Bradshaw completed 9 passes for 96 yards. In another he threw three INTs. Sam Bradford definitely could have done as well as Bradshaw did in those Super Bowls.

Sam Bradford would have been on IR by August during that era. QBs had to play football in the 70s.
