Eagles, Sam Bradford agree to two-year contract
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 1, 2016
Sam Bradford will remain the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles announced this afternoon that they have agreed to a two-year deal with Bradford. The agreement came just minutes after they officially declined to restrict him with the franchise tag. No financial terms of the deal have been announced, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the deal is for $36 million and includes $26 million guaranteed.
Bradford arrived in Philadelphia in a trade that sent Nick Foles to St. Louis a year ago. Bradford had an up-and-down first year in Philadelphia, and when Chip Kelly, the coach who acquired Bradford, was fired, there were questions about whether the Eagles would go shopping for a new quarterback.
But Eagles G.M. Howie Roseman and coach Doug Pederson have insisted that they want to keep Bradford, and now they have. He’ll stay in Philadelphia.
Rankin Roger approved !!!!

Do you remember the rambling press conference Al Davis held to talk smack about Lane Kiffin and said Russell was "a great player".
LOL

Bradford started slow, finished fast, and remained relatively healthy. Factor in that he's a good guy, very talented, expressed his wish to stay in Philly, and reports that Kelly handcuffed him. I, for one, am not as surprised as some of you. He finished 4th highest in franchise history for yards, in a new system, with a difficult coach, and suspect receivers.
And throw in that there are not many quality FA QB's out there this year, or any year.

Bradford’s structure, guarantee on signing will give better picture of real value
Posted by Mike Florio on March 1, 2016
On the surface, Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford’s new contract suggests that he’ll be in Philly for two more seasons at $18 million per year, especially since $26 million of it is “guaranteed.”
But like so many of the deals that will be done over the next two weeks, only the official details will tell the full story of what a deal is worth and, more importantly, how many years of it definitely will be honored by the team.
If, for example, Bradford is due to make $13 million in 2016 (with the payment fully guaranteed) and $23 million in 2017 (with $13 million of it guaranteed for injury only at signing), it’s a one-year, $13 million deal with a team option for the second year.
That’s just an example, not an attempt to characterize the actual deal. Still, it’s impossible to know how good (or bad) of a deal it is without knowing how much of the deal is fully guaranteed at signing, and how much will be paid in 2016 and in 2017.
Reporting general “guarantees” is meaningless, since the only true guarantee is money that’s fully guaranteed. (Actually, with the ability of teams to void guarantees in the event of on- or off-field misconduct, the only really true guarantee is a signing bonus.) Still, folks will continue to report true and not-true guarantees as “guarantees” generally, without an explanation or disclaimer that “guaranteed” money isn’t actually guaranteed.
Eventually, the real numbers will become available, for Bradford’s deal and all others. But by the time the real numbers are available, with the real guarantees and the real structure, the dust will have settled and the impression will have been created that the deal is better than perhaps it really is.
For Bradford, even with only a two-year deal, it’s impossible to know whether it’s a true $18 million per year deal or whether the second year is fluff without looking at the real terms.
Whatever the specific structure and true guarantees, it’s safe to assume Bradford didn’t sign the contract without knowing his market. And he knew his market because his agent was able to find out from other teams at the Scouting Combine what the market was.
The real numbers will give a very real picture on how real the market was for the last No. 1 overall pick who got a real payday after being drafted, six years ago.

Bradford getting healthy signing bonus, guarantees
Posted by Zac Jackson on March 1, 2016
Quarterback Sam Bradford is staying with the Eagles, and he’s getting paid handsomely to do so.
The two-year deal Bradford signed Tuesday is worth $35 million, $26 million guaranteed.
Initial reports about Bradford’s new contract didn’t include many salary details, but Andrew Brandt of ESPN and Tom Pelissero of USA Today have since reported some big numbers from Bradford’s new contract. Per Brandt, Bradford gets $22 million fully guaranteed upon signing. With his signing bonus, he’ll make $18 million this year and could make as much as $20 million in 2016 with playoff wins.
Per their tweets, Bradford gets a signing bonus of $11 million, has a $7 million base salary for 2016 and has a $4 million roster bonus due in March 2017. His base salary for 2017 is $13 million.
Bradford is guaranteed $4 million in 2017, even if the Eagles don’t pay the roster bonus. Cutting him before 2017 would leave the Eagles with $9.5 million in dead money on their 2017 salary cap.
Bradford will carry a $12.5 million cap number for the Eagles in 2016.
