If they weren't willing to pay Brock 18mil/yr, I seriously doubt they would pay Bradford that either.

Well now they may have no choice. I don't think he gets moved though

One could....certainly see how SB could be a...Hot commodity.
WTF?

A solid article summarizing how today completed boned the rest of the sane NFL teams that actually have good players worth paying.

the problem with moving bradford is the guaranteed money doesn't get traded, so the eagles would be paying him to play somewhere else (depending on the type of guarantee, roster bonuses that convert to guaranteed money at X date would move, for example).

even if they redid the contract, i believe players can't give money back (cause lavar), so i think it'd be a hard move to make. I don't know the specifics of his contract though.

Bears sign ILB Danny Trevathan (4 years, $24.5M; $12M guaranteed

Bears got the best deal of the day. ILB is not as high an impact position as others on a defense....but I cant believe the Giants with the need at LB and the dumb money they are throwing around couldn't get this guy.

24.5 million, 12 guaranteed. Hell I would have been thrilled with contract for us...good deal by the Bears!

I would have like him but I was told the Giants weren't in the running.

Thought the same thing. I definitely would have paid that for him.

Sam Bradford & Chase Daniel to the Eagles

The Deal: Combined (two years for Bradford, three years for Daniel) $56 million with $34 million guaranteed

Some eyebrows were raised at the deal Sam Bradford got before free agency opened and those eyebrows will now be raised even further when paired with the deal handed to Chase Daniel. Fresh off playing only 186 snaps to earn $10 million in three years as a Chief, Daniel muddies the waters at the quarterback position for the Eagles. Philadelphia is now paying quality starter money for two quarterbacks, with no guarantee that either will actually turn into a quality starter


Good question here by PFF...wtf are the eagles doing? 34 million guarantee in 3 years for 2 QB? ok....

[That Guy]

yeah, trevathan and jpp are probably the best deals so far, outside of carolina's hometown discount.

Giants free agency comes from a place of panic. The GM just saw Coughlin get whacked and is out to save his job. Vernon had 6.5 sacks two years ago, and 7.5 last year. I'm also told he ranks high in QB knock downs, which basically means he is highly ranked at getting to the QB a step too late.

So basically, he's Brian Orakpo, yet the Giants gave him more guaranteed money than JJ Watt.

Derp. They got somewhat better, they added four solid players on defense (solid, not great). But they'll hit the ceiling on the cap in a few years and have to blow it all up. They have a two year window to go 9-7 or 10-6. Good job.

Out of 86 pro bowlers last year, only two were 2015 free agents.

You're getting solid players, not stars.

Patriots have been going to super bowls with solid players and not stars for years.

Pretty sure Brady and Gronkowski are stars. But more to the point is that the Patriots pay there solid players like solid players not like superstars and the result of that is a better overall supporting cast. Overpaying for solid players leaves you in a place that history shows is unsustainable.
