BuffaloFan68 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I can see Bradford going to the Jets, which I am totally fine with - I just don't want the Jets to land Lynch. Hopefully Denver will trade up to get Lynch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sam Bradford "demanding" anything in the NFL is HILARIOUS! Dude has lucked his way into a huge bank account for absolutely no reason.

Doc Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I can see Bradford going to the Jets, which I am totally fine with - I just don't want the Jets to land Lynch. Hopefully Denver will trade up to get Lynch. Why? Lynch isn't all that great of a prospect and will take years to develop at best. And if he is all that, someone will take him in the top-7. Will he give back his $11M signing bonus in order to get traded? Unless he retires, I'm not sure a player can just simply give back money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 This is what happens when you have an encumbant starter.....and then you take a 1st round QB (which philly probably will) It doesnt sit well in the locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 if you back out the 11m, its a 2 year 24m contract. he would still have to be your starter unless he takes a cut, but there are a couple spots that could happen. bradford at 12m per plus 6m in upgrades elsewhere vs brock at 18m?

Captain Hindsight Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Still better than asking to be traded before the pick is even in. Prove your worth! They may have told him something different before he came back to the team. No doubt he would have had other offers. Bradford was decent last year and considering RG3 who hasnt played in two years is currently a starter and so is Geno Smith and mark Sanchez, he could have made a pretty penny elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I was never a huge Flutie fan as to often he'd always deflect the blame to others. It was never him! But I did feel at the time he got screwed in a similar way in that he signed with the Bills, then a month or two later the Bill's traded a #1 draft pick for Rob Johnson. I'm sure if Flutie had known they were going to sign Johnson, he'd have never signed here in Buffalo. Granted he wasn't the incumbent starter, but still I'm sure he was led to believe he had a good chance at being the starter, until you trade a #1 pick for someone else.

He's an average starter at best I have to agree with you on that the fact that he expects waaayyyy too much. He's 25-37 as a starter, he's made over $70mil in his career and has done absolutely nothing at all. He's beyond injury prone. He's should just be lucky to have a job.

Chuck Wagon Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I imagine Philly would love to recoup a draft pick for Sam, but this late in the game I don't see anyone stepping up to pay that contract. If you are the Jets, why are you trading a draft pick to pay Bradford the same amount of money Fitz wants? Denver doesn't have the room to pay that. The Browns are rolling with RG3. That's pretty much it in regards to anyone who has an opening to let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Unless he retires, I'm not sure a player can just simply give back money. He could do this. Recouping cap space requires teams to recoup actual cash from players - and it's very difficult to do. But maybe Bradford negotiates some partial or total payback of his signing bonus to get traded to a team he wants to play for. I'm sure he'd sign a new deal for the new team too. Browns fans are overjoyed right now. Edited April 25, 2016 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
