From the "Cam's contract looks like a bargain" file: Sam Bradford signs 2 yr. $36MM extension

Somewhere between $22MM and $26MM guaranteed depending on the source, with most reporting $26MM. Bradford just keeps cleaning up.

Quote

The Eagles and Bradford, the most polarizing athlete in the city, agreed to a two-year deal Tuesday that will keep the 28-year-old quarterback in Philadelphia through the 2017 season. The deal, according to ESPN, is worth $36 million, with $26 million guaranteed.

In the short-term, the deal gives the Eagles their best shot of being competitive in 2016, while paying Bradford some big-time money. And in the long-term, if the whole thing blows up, it won't handcuff the organization for years to come.

Everything signed before this year is going to look like a bargain. NFL spending is about to get insane. This is just the start.

Thank god we got Cam and Luke done last year. I'd be happy if we can get Kawann at JJ Watt money. That's how insane I think the market is going to get.

Sam Bradford has had the best contract timing of any player I've ever seen. Gets the last number 1 pick QB contract not under a rookie scale, then after a mediocre career thus far found himself as potentially the top upcoming QB FA, which he parlays into another huge deal. 

Crazy as it sounds, he may have gotten more on the open market; the top FAs now are Fitzpatrick, Osweiler, and maybe Chase Daniel.

barring his injuries because those aren't funny his path from his rookie year to now is comedy gold when looking at his earnings

almost on par with the brief period in 2010 when, between guarantees owed to him after his extension and his new contract with the browns, jake delhomme was the highest paid player in the NFL

He got that stupid contract after 5-turnovers on the playoffs. 

What was the reasoning around here? Talk of photos with JR in some precarious position. 

If that fidnt make you hate on Hurney, nothing else could've. Then began the worst era in our short history in my opinion.

eh it was supposedly done as a cap move to try and maneuver peppers into a long term contract.  obviously it didn't work out but the people who were arguing in favor of it at the time (like my dumb ass) tended to take that angle.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
