Sources: Rams decide to trade 2nd overall pick

I would say that people who are comparing Bradford and Griffin are missing the point because they are only looking at athleticism and not contracts. Bradford's contract is ginormous, extremely hard to trade. The fact that Griffin's contract will be peanuts in comparison with the new CBA means that his value is even greater because of this. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Rams get two 1sts, a 2nd and next years 3rd for RGIII, mainly based on skill and overall affordability of the rookie contract.

12mil in 2012.
9mil in 2013.
14mil in 2014.
13mil in 2015.

50mil of his contract was guaranteed, and only about half of it has been paid. Do people really think someone is gonna trade for Sam Bradford?

Repped for putting numbers to my point. I was too lazy to look up the numbers, but I did know they were ridiculous.
