Not a great comparison.  Wasn't Bradford a #1 overall QB? Totally different from a LB selected in the late first 

yes but he was the last 1st overall pick on the old CBA where the first overall pick ended up with more money than half the team. He did what he did with the rams and then the same thing to multiple other teams lol.

Who cares where he was drafted? Mayfield was #1 overall. Hell, so was Jamarcus Russell. Teams weren't lining up to throw massive amounts of money at those guys because they were once #1 overall picks. Bradford was mediocre when he was on the field and stayed injured and teams STILL paid him over and over again. It never made any sense and still doesn't. Bradford probably made more in relation to the cap at the time while doing less than possibly anyone in NFL history.

You're right, Bradford wasn't even mediocre through most of his career.

At least Shaq has been above average at times.

All joking aside, Sam Bradford is the 24th highest earning NFL player of all time. He made more money in 9 years than Tony Romo did in 14 and Mike Vick did in 13.

Bradford is the definition of overpaid for mediocre results.

 

Yeah but a lot of that was from being the last QB to get that old rookie QB money under the old CBA.

It’s amazing how much money Bradford made for being constantly injured!! Good on him but damn he raped a lot of teams!

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
