There will be a team that will give him a 3 year contract.. You rarely see young QB's sign a "prove it" contract like that. Most likely any signing will be a multi-year contract with a way out after the first year like we see with many free agents we sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very tough call to make in advance though, especially if the vikes were planning to re-sign Bradford. I feel like it won't be that hard to resign him unless he comes in and lights it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how isn’t it possible in regards to the CBA, as Klomp suggested? And what team is going to give a QB who’s coming off of a dislocated knee a 3 year deal. And even they do, it’s not going to be a contract with a very high cap number, or significant guaranteed money. So, why would Bridgewater do it? A one year contract, with a long term option attached to it gives the team some protection, but it also gives Bridgewater the option of long term security. And given how much QBs are making, Bridgewater isn’t going to need to do much to get the team to pick up his option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of your idea was a 1+5 contract, where a team option after Year 1 would essentially lock in the final five years of the deal. I don't know about the NFL, but the NBA only allows a +1 on team option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankle surgeries are just as much of a threat as a knee to a QB. Very highly unlikely a team offers him a 1 year contract anywhere. Whats the risk to a 3 year contract with no guaranteed money after the first year? You give him a 3 year contact in hopes he doesn't get hurt and can produce. You now have 2 more years with a QB for a bargain price. You're one year contact with an option is the same thing I am basically saying, except a capable starting QB would never sign that type of contact without big money in that first year.

No there is guaranteed money involved, but you can offer a higher overall salary to him. If he plays well he will stick with the team and make more money.... Look what we have done with about every guy we have signed. Most players believe in their selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
