ST. LOUIS -- No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford agreed to a six-year, $78 million contract with the St. Louis Rams Friday night, with $50 million in guaranteed money.
The Rams and the former Oklahoma quarterback concluded negotiations in time for the first full-squad workout, set for Saturday.
The guaranteed money is the highest ever in the NFL.Sources told ESPN that the deal can be worth as much as $86 million.
Bradford is the centerpiece of a rebuilding effort for the Rams, who were 1-15 last year in the first season under coach Steve Spagnuolo and are 6-42 the past three seasons. The Rams have not made the playoffs since making five postseason appearances from 1999 to 2004.
