Sam Bradford is expected to sign with the Arizona Cardinals

Sam Bradford is expected to sign with the Arizona Cardinals, a person close to the situation said, as the leaguewide juggling of free agent quarterbacks continues.

The Cardinals’ pending contract with Bradford is for one year and $20 million, with an option for a second season at another $20 million.
Bradford leaves the Minnesota Vikings to become the potential starter in Arizona. The Cardinals are replacing the retired Carson Palmer.

Bradford suffered through another injury-plagued season in 2017 and was supplanted as the Vikings’ starter by Case Keenum.

The quarterback moves continue. Keenum has lined up a deal with the Denver Broncos. Kirk Cousins is arranging a visit to Minnesota and, if all goes as planned, is expected to a sign a guaranteed contract with the Vikings. Drew Brees agreed to re-sign with the New Orleans Saints.

Bradford may be a good quarterback. Don't know if he's $20 million a year good.

That’s a big IF. I can’t remember a single season where he hasn’t been hurt. Sad, the guy had a ton of potential coming out of college.

It is almost kind of every other year. The reports on his knee are not promising though. I think the Cardinals are rolling the dice and drafting for the future. Probably will look to move up from 15 to get one of the top four QB prospects. The Bills will be looking to move up as well it appears. The Jets also might want to climb a place or two.

but why aren’t the Redskins bringing Cousins back? Maybe they’re going to draft a qb?

So they traded for Alex Smith around the time of the Super Bowl. He has a long term contract with $71 million guaranteed.

And is going to a team with a better defense.

I don't dislike Smith, but is he really better than Cousins? Neither are going to make us forget Marino or Montana, but they couldn't have given Cousins the money when they already tagged him and paid him $50 million?

Seems like a huge sunk cost, now.
