Cardinals Not Expected To Bench Sam Bradford Yet
6 years agoThe Arizona Cardinals are not expected to bench quarterback Sam Bradford for rookie Josh Rosen just yet. The Cardinals have scored just six points through the first two weeks, but the coaching staff continues to stand by Bradford for now. However, if the Cardinals bench Bradford after this week or decide to release him and use Mike Glennon as the backup, the team would save over $4 million in unpaid per-game roster bonuses. Rosen is the only quarterback taken in the first round of this year's draft that has yet to play in a regular season game. Despite his upside, the Cardinals are giving Bradford a little bit more leash. But it might not be long before we see Rosen if the Cardinals continue to struggle. Bradford remains an unattractive low-end QB2, while Rosen should be stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues.
