Bradford might be the reason for the current rookie wage scale, as his 2010 first overall rookie contract was for a staggering 6 years, $78 million. Oh yeah, and $50 million in guarantees. What did the Rams receive for all that cash? 49 starts, an 18-30-1 record, and 31 missed games due to a sprained ankle and a torn (and then re-torn) ACL.
