Sam Bradford Salary
Bradford owes most of his wealth to the huge rookie contract that he had signed with the Rams - a 6-year $78 million deal including $50 million in guaranteed money. Needless to say, this was and is still the biggest rookie contract in the history of the NFL. As a result, the University of Oklahoma alumnus pocketed nearly $27 million in salaries alone in his sophomore year, which was also the biggest paycheck of his career.
Bradford last signed a one-year $20 million deal with the Cardinals in 2018. However, he was released by the franchise in November, as a result of which he could realize only a reported $15,937,500 out of this deal.
