Congratulations Sam Bradford! You're officially the luckiest Injun this side of the Miss'sa Sip!9 months ago Sam Bradford was on suicide watch after winning the Heisman trophy and announcing he was returning to school only to find himself requiring surgery on his throwing shoulder, and because he's 1/16 Cherokee and it should be required by law. Now Bradford has secured the largest contract ever for a draftee. The deal is worth $78 million, $50 million guaranteed, over 6 years and could be worth as much as $86 million with incentives. That'll buy a lot of jean jackets on the reservation.
All of this for a QB coming off of a season where he only appeared in 3 games, none of which did he start and finish them because of injury, and has yet to play in a game after having major surgery to his throwing shoulder. There's something wrong with this picture.
Don't get me wrong. I really liked the Bradford selection for the Rams. (Here's proof.) But there's now way in Hell that Sam Bradford is worth that kind of money right now. No draft pick is. They've done nothing in the league, but because they're the top overall pick they should get paid like a franchise player. Makes perfect sense. If you're always drunk like Sam Bradford and his people.
