Josh Rosen is the Starter

[Arz101]

I actually think Glennon would do a better job than Bradford. Bradford looks shellshocked. I wonder if all of the discussion about his knee for the past year or so made him apprehensive and tentative to make plays. Either way, this is the worst Bradford has played in his career by a long shot.

That said, I'd save the $312k/game, deactivate Bradford, and promote Glennon.

There are no savings in Bradford's deal whether he is active or inactive per Joel Curry

 

[THESMEL]

go Josh- see if he can develop going forward. That was a harsh debut

 

[Arz101]

Go Josh!

 

[Rivercard]

Is that a statement or a job description?

I needed a good laugh, thanks.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Once Wilks broke the seal there was no going back. Now there is no need for Bradford on the roster.

My guess is the Cardinals will try and trade Bradford for a week or two then if there is no takers they will just cut him. He is not going to be on this team next year so why keep him on the roster?

 

[GuernseyCard]

Whew! I was almost convinced Wilks was going to give Sam 1 more chance.

Release Bradford ASAP

Fire McCoy (its coming I believe)

Why bother? Bradford's salary is guaranteed

You save nothing, his salary is guaranteed in 2018.

 

[football karma]

honest question to the fire McCoy immediately crowd:

Who is the new OC going forward?

 

[MadCardDisease]

Why bother? Bradford's salary is guaranteed

That is incorrect. Bradford is only guaranteed $15M ($10M signing bonus and $5M salary.)

If the Cards cut him now they save on the weekly roster bonus he gets.

No it’s not, he has a $200 or 300k (whichever it is) bonus tied into being on the active roster. It’s been reported

 

[AZ Native]

15 Million for 3 games, not a bad gig if you can get it.

 

[MadCardDisease]

No it’s not, he has a $200 or 300k (whichever it is) bonus tied into being on the active roster. It’s been reported

$5M divided by 16 games which is about $312k per game.

So the Cardinals would save about $4M by cutting him now.

As I said: salary is guaranteed and the bonus paid. Save on weekly bonus to what end?. We're not short on money and there's little to spend on at this point

Irrespective, I'd be more comfortable with Glennon in the game than Bradford. Just an added bonus to save money in the process.

That $4M roster bonus can be moved to next season if they don't spend it this year.

 

[CardsFan88]

I think it has to do with how it is paid out.

It would likely be classified as a LTBE bonus, which means if it isn't paid out, the amount we saved would be added to next years cap, enabling us to have an extra 3-4 million or whatever to spend on other players next year.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Bradford is a broken man. As was exemplified by his body language lying on the field after throwing his last INT. Not sure I want him around

 

[DVontel]

Rosen is gonna save McCoy’s job.


Disgusting.

dude's the best con-man this side of Danny Ocean.

It looks like the key to a greater savings would be a trade (5.62M savings and 5M dead)...otherwise it appears cutting him only saves $625K:

i'm excited for the rest of the season. The future starts now.

That said, I agree with others who worry a little that this coaching staff steeped in ineptitude might harm his progress, but if he's everything we hope he is, the cream will rise to the top. I hope.

 

[blindseyed]

Lol all I know is when Wilks said it I was hoping he was gonna follow up with "and McCoy will be demoted to ball boy"

Yeah, with Rosen starting I may have to rethink my 2-14 prediction.

 

[TRW]

Cut Bradford. Fire McCoy. Let Leftwich run the offense, he CAN'T be any worse...can he?????

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

its the right move

lets just be prepared to watch a rookie take his lumps

Kid better light it up... He wrote checks that need cashing.
