Cardinals Release QB Sam Bradford

The Arizona Cardinals announced the release of veteran quarterback Sam Bradford on Saturday.

Bradford, who signed a one-year $20 million contract with the Cardinals this past offseason, made three starts this season before being supplanted by rookie Josh Rosen during Arizona's Week 3 loss to the Bears. Veteran Mike Glennon was also moved ahead of Bradford on the Cardinals' depth chart as the second-string signal-caller.

Bradford has been inactive for each of Arizona's last five games, forfeiting over $1.5 million of salary because of a roster bonus worth a reported $312,500 per game he was active.
