What was the point in making Bradford inactive?

[phillycard]

We're already seeing that some of Wilk's in game moves are dumbfounding. I'm just curious as to the thinking of putting SB behind Glennon. I don't see a lot of movement on depth charts with backups. Usually the 2nd stays the 2nd and so on. Someone please give me some clarity to this because as I see it this was a psuedo tough guy move meant to "send a message" which was in my opinion laughable and only makes him look more incompetent in light of yesterdays L.

$$$, and that Bradford sucks.

If he’s not starting why not save 350,000 per game... This is actually a smart move.

Understood. I did see something about Bradford losing money by not playing. Makes sense I guess.

Plus, no pressure on Josh that if he throws a couple of pics... we can't bring Sam Back. Glennon only plays in case of injury.

It’s not just him losing money. I’ve seen that cards can recoup something like $4M in cap space and push it to next year. If that’s true Bradford should not dress the rest of the year. I don’t feel bad taking that $ outta his hands considering he’s still making $15M for less than three games played this year and he got to avoid injury.

Should’ve just cut him just like I said after the team was turned over to the kid last week!

Steve Wilks said Mike Glennon will continue to be the Cardinals' back-up quarterback, continuing to make Sam Bradford the third string and likely inactive. That means he'll miss out on a $312,500 roster bonus every game he's inactive.

The same point for why they started him: $$$$$

Glennon was the game day backup and could have been brought in for whatever reason. Sam was in civvies.

He's sunk cost and could be dressed if needed.
