Figured I'd toss another QB name out there. Now that the Cardinals have moved on to Josh Rosen and with a veteran backup in Glennon already on the roster there is talk here locally that they will look to potentially cut ties with Bradford. Arizona is already on the hook for $15 million but each game he remains on the roster they have to pay him close to another $400,000 in roster bonuses. Bradford hasn't been good, he's played scared but that offense he's playing in is also straight up garbage. Mike McCoy was fired by Denver after 6 games last year and he might not last that long with Arizona. Just a terrible, predictable playcaller than gives me flashbacks to Jim Hostler. If available, Bradford likely wouldn't cost anything more than a far off in the distance 7th rounder, or they could potentially wait for him to be cut. As a passer he comes with a very quick release and could do a lot of things that Kyle demands in a QB, might be an interesting veteran name to keep an eye on.

I think that would be an interesting move. Not very likely, but I'd definitely take him as a backup.

Would be costly. $10.9M is his current cap number.

Bills would have to work something out. They only have $8M in cap.

Jax has $11M so it would be tight.

Sam would have to sign a new contract to reduce that number.

Not sure Shanny would want Bradford since he has no swag.

Go to 45 secs

It wouldn't be anywhere near that. He signed a $20 million contract and the Cards are on the hook for $15 million.

Former Cardinals' QB Sam Bradford now goes on waivers. If a team claimed him, it would inherit his Cardinals' contract - $2.5 million in base salary, $2.5 million in roster bonuses and a $20 million salary for 2019.

I would've guessed that be the perfect move for them if they could get him cheap. Although he'd probably get hurt in a couple games behind that line.

Bradford and his agent must run mind tricks on NFL GMs.

He's gotta have the highest per game salary average (games actually played) of any QB in history.

I'm going to exclude first round busts that didn't start beyond year 2.
