The Arizona Cardinals signed oft-injured, rarely-great, yet always well-paid Sam Bradford to an absurd 1-year, $20 million contract with an option for $20 million more for 2019. This proved to be an awful move, and he was benched in his third game and downgraded to inactive after the team promoted Josh Rosen to starting quarterback.
Arizona has acknowledged its wasteful spending by cutting Bradford outright, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Bradford led the Cardinals to only three touchdowns through three games, and he was yanked from the Chicago Bears game after a series of turnovers that turned a possible upset win over Chicago into a loss.
