hmmmm, me thinks you dont know when Bradford was drafted or that he had the most expensive rookie deal ever, or that it was the actual reason to even implement the cap.

Um.. he said Bradford's enormous deal is the reason we have a rookie salary cap.

But yeah.. I thought the Rams made a mistake not drafting a QB at some point early in the draft .. now it may really bite them in the ass.

No, but it was an excellent Exhibit A for the Rookie Cap.

Of course, Russell is the counter argument.

2013 Rams with Bradford. 3-4.
2013 Rams without Bradford. 4-5.

The Rams had a higher win percentage and a superior point differential without Bradford.

Best case scenario for Hawks fans: Bradford plays 16 games this year, but plays hobbled all year long.

Wilson would have been dirt cheap under the old CBA too. Mwahaha...

Yeah, but he might have gotten a new deal after just 2 years.

In that scenario he'd be an RFA after year three (top end RFA tender (1st + 3rd protection) is only about $3 million). That said, for Wilson they might be forced to franchise just to be safe. It would be a tougher negotiation starting point for a GM that's for sure.

On the flip side, if you could sign Wilson right now wouldn't you want to? The NFL is expecting record breaking cap expansion next year and if Harvin stays healthy Wilson could vault himself into ultra-elite company this upcoming season.

CLEVELAND -- St. Louis starting quarterback Sam Bradford reinjured his surgically repaired left knee in the first quarter against the Browns on Saturday night.

The Rams had four other starters hurt in the first half.

..........

St. Louis lost two other players in the opening quarter as defensive tackle Kendall Langford and guard Rodger Saffold went out with leg injuries.

Two more Rams were injured on the same play in the second quarter. Left cornerback Trumaine Johnson and defensive tackle Michael Brockers went down, but Brockers walked off under his own power.
