I think you can start out with Bradford at 4/55; 30 guaranteed and see where that takes you. That gets him to just about 100 million in his career. essentially make it a 2 year deal with rising cap hits and lower dead cap money in 18 or 19 to hedge bets and allow max flexibility in 16 and 17.
You're not getting Bradford for less than Smith's deal. And you're certainly not getting him for 4/55.
Why not? He's not as good or as successful as Smith if wins and stats matter at all, not as mobile in the least, and has huge injury history. I'd go max 4/60 with 35 guaranteed. If he wants more than or equal to Smith than goodbye. He has a huge body of work that says he's below average NFL QB. He'd be getting top 15 QB money.
