Rams and No. 1 pick Bradford nearing deal
By Mark J. Miller
Sam BradfordThe St. Louis Rams start camp on Thursday and FOX Sports is reporting that there is a "really good chance" that No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford(notes) will be under contract by then.
The site reports that the deal for the former Oklahoma quarterback is for six years and will guarantee him between $45 million and $50 million.
In training camp, Bradford will compete with veteran A.J. Feeley(notes) for the starting quarterback position.
Rams general manager Billy Devaney is sounding pretty happy with his pick after watching him in offseason workouts: "He looks like he's unflappable," Devaney told the site. "He doesn't get too high or low. He's a smart guy. Being a great player means something to him. What really jumped out is that he's got a tremendous respect for the NFL and his peers. He doesn't put himself like the first pick in the draft."
