Sam Bradford is the OG bag collector.

Shout out to Brock Osweiler for collecting almost $42 mil in career earnings for 30 career starts.

Osweiler: $1.38 mil/start

Bradford: $1.566 mil/start

Cousins: $1.925 mil/start

Yeah but he did it under the old CBA.  Cousins got paid multiple times since then. 

That's a valid point because that was during the uncapped draft era. Bradford got $78 mil of his career $130 mil earnings on his rookie contract.

I think Bradford was also the last straw and motivating cause for bringing in a rookie wage system.

And he will get another one from whoever signs him next.

At 37, with career earnings > $320M, I'd be putting on a suit and looking for an announcer gig, if it were me. Or just say fuggit and sail off into the sunset.

BUT... It would be tempting to go the Andy Dalton route and hold a clip board for a few years. I'm sure it's hard to step away from something you've loved since you were 6 YO.

It was the new CBA and basically the older vets anger at the rookie deals taking money from their pockets in free agency that was the big changing influence. The NFLPA was just as motivated to get some reasonable structure in place.
