Bradford's large contract ($30 a year till 2015) was doomed from the start of last season. Under achieving, Bradford won the Most Overpaid Award in 2011. Suh and Addai also had heft contracts that caused too much strain on the Shower Scene's cap.
Owner Joe Stanek will still be forced to pay $21 in 2012 due to cap penalties. However, he does free up $37 and will be $70 under cap heading into the 2012 offseason.
"Joseph Ndamukong and Sam were a part of our family and we are sad to see them go. At the same time we must remember that the goal of any organization in sports is to win. After falling to 3rd on our depth chart Addai’s $17 contract didn’t make sense. The same goes for Sam’s $30 contract, after the trade to secure Jay Cutler. These were strictly business decisions that will propel our team forward. Suh on the other had had been a problem in the locker room and on the field. His departure from our club should be a warning sign for young kids playing this game that you cannot act however you want with out repercussions. If you want to act hard, you actually have to be hard. As the great Joe “Willie” Namath once said, “I like my women blonde and my Johnnie Walker red.” said owner Joe Stanek.
Shower Scene stunned the league when he traded out of the 2nd overal pick this year for the 9th and Jay Cutler. However, he has loaded up with picks and cap space to make a run at the 2012 playoffs.
