Sam Bradford Hasn’t Practiced In 5 Weeks Because Knee Is ‘Basically Bone On Bone’ http://bit.ly/2Ot7XLt #NFL

And the Cardinals too

You had a good run Sam, time to pick up the clubs and play 18.

That became pretty obvious when he dropped below Mike Glennon on the depth chart.

He was benched in Arizona prior to this "report" of bone on bone missed practices for extremely poor QB play. He passed a physical with the Cardinals in the off-season. He was never listed on any injury reports this year. There have always been reports about him not working out in the weight room and such. And from who is quote coming?

The reason he is not on the Vikings or Cardinals is because he is not a good QB and definitely not worth what he has been paid.

How was that a shock to the Cardinals? "Bone on bone" was bandied about last year. I figured Arizona must have tested him and found his condition was unexpectedly better or that the cartilage had magically regenerated.
Well, James Andrews did his surgery last November. Maybe Bradford's agent will connect with Sharrif Floyd's lawyer and file a lawsuit demanding $280M on the basis that he could have earned Kirk Cousins' salary until he is Tom Brady's age.

So basically he hasn't been practicing since he was benched. Kinda makes sense if it is bone on bone. That has to be extremely painful. Kinda like how he looked that brief stint against Chicago last year, unable to move and looked afraid to take any hits lest they hit the knees.

He was a good QB, but he is done. Not sure why a team would risk so much when it was known he was in rough shape. Perhaps they were desperate?

Signing Bradford to play QB in 2018 was about like getting Jake Long to play OT in 2016.

Let me see if I have your reasoning correct. Bradford had this knee issue the entire season, but it didn't affect him at practice until he was benched (again, due to very bad QB play) in the fourth quarter of the third game. Then the knee was just too bad to practice. Why wouldn't the Cardinals place him on IR and cut him in the offseason? He only makes more money if he was active. Can a team even cut an "injured" player without an injury settlement?

Again, not on injury report and passed his physical earlier. Further, Bradford has a history of being petty. Maybe he stopped practicing because he was benched and wasn't in any future plans for the Cardinals and that is why they cut him mid-season.

Oh, about the Bears game, that was one of the most Bradford ever moved around while with the Vikings. I don't understand the admiration for essentially a one year Viking who "led" the team to a 7-8 record after one of the most dominant defensive starts to a season had the Vikings at 5-0 (defense was at or very very near the top in every defensive category).

Actually he is a very good QB, he just could not stay healthy his entire career. He has only played 14 or more games 4 times in his 9 year career and two of those seasons were his first and third years when the Rams were horrible. In his 30 full games with the Vikings he had 42 TD's - 19 Int's, 67% completion, 274 Yds/game. Thats not a bad QB. He did fleece the NFL for a bunch of money though, but if there is a team willing to pay why not take it.
