Bradford's Contract Gives Opportunity To 'Manziel, RG3, And Kaepernick'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- While Sam Bradford's new two-year contract with the Eagles may be controversial in Philadelphia, it's certainly satisfying for the future of some fellow big-named NFL quarterbacks looking for a second chance.
"Because in the world of 'anything you can do I can do better,' every quarterback in the NFL right now is looking at Sam Bradford and singing that tune," said Jason Fitz on The Jason Fitz Show. "It means [Johnny] Manziel will get another shot, it means RG3 [Robert Griffin III] will be overpaid, and it means that Colin Kaepernick is worth more than we think on the open market in trade value. That's proven this week by the contracts received [by Bradford and Joe Flacco]."
Bradford's deal is reportedly worth $35 million over the next two seasons, including -- and more importantly -- $26 million guaranteed.
"The devil you know vs. the devil you don't rules the NFL," said Fitz. "In a quarterback league, until you have a guy that you love, you'll pay for a guy that you just like."
