Normally I don’t like giving big money to running backs, especially ones with injury problems in the past, but Bradshaw is only 25 and this deal only pays him 4.5 million a year for 4 years, with half of that guaranteed. Considering Reggie Bush got 5 million per year from Miami, Joseph Addai got just under 5 million from Indianapolis, and DeAngelo Williams got 8.6 million per year, this deal looks like a bargain. Bradshaw is a legitimate lead back (not going to carry a 300 carry load, but he can lead your team in carries and be effective) and extremely talented as both a runner and a pass catcher.
