Sam Bradford deal is done

Finally. First-overall draft pick Sam Bradford and the Rams have agreed to a 6-year contract billed as $78 million. $50 million guaranteed. The contract has a "max value" of $86 million, which I assume Bradford would reach via incentives. It's the richest rookie contract in NFL history and the most expensive player contract in Rams history, breaking the contract Marc Bulger didn't get to play out here by over $15 million.

The top 5 contracts in team history, best as I can tell:
1. Bradford, 6 years, $78 million;
2. Bulger, 6 years, $62.5 million;
3. Jason Smith, 6 years, $61.775 million;
4. Chris Long, 6 years, $56.5 million;
5. Orlando Pace's last Rams contract, 7 years, $52.8 million.

Bradford didn't make tonight's first team meeting but it should be safe to expect him at tomorrow's practice, making Saturday the first day of the Summer of Sam in St. Louis.
