They talk about Bradford’s cap savings and what it did. I will say that it let them pay Quinn’s roster bonus this year and not have to restructure it. If they had kept Bradford, they could do virtually the same stuff as they will end up doing this year, except Quinn’s money would be pushed in the future. imo
People are a little confused IMO about this whole Bradford, qbs, cap thing stuff.
First off I think you’re dead right.
2nd, people forget…assuming health, if you have a 6 year qb at 13 M, it’s a bargain. It’s a bargain for the Eagles, anyway.
The new CBA may pay rookie qbs less, but, they come up sooner too.
And as I keep saying, the market for starting qbs in their 2nd contract is around 19 M. (It orbits that. It can go down to 17 M or up to 20 something M.)
So if Foles works out, that’s the kind of money we’re talking about here.
So if both Foles and Bradford can play, they will both be getting around 19 M next year.
The one year reprieve for the Rams, as you said, allowed them to leave the Quinn roster bonus alone. That means they have more money for the future…but they will either be using that on Foles, or they don’t have a qb.
