Quarterback Sam Bradford #9 of the Arizona Cardinals drops back to pass during the NFL game against the Washington Redskins at State Farm Stadium on Sept. 9, 2018 in Glendale, Arizona. The Redskins defeated the Cardinals 24-6.

The Arizona Cardinals announced Saturday they have released quarterback Sam Bradford.

Bradford was signed in March of this year to help the quarterback position.

The Cardinals gave Bradford a $10 million signing bonus, $2.5 million base salary and another $1 million in playtime bonuses. In total, the Cards paid Bradford $13.5 million for playing just three games. 

Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft, has played for the Rams, Eagles, Vikings and Cardinals. 

Josh Rosen has been the starting quarterback since the Sept. 30 home game against Seattle.

If a team were to sign Bradford, they would inherit his Cardinals contract of a base salary of $2.5 million, $2.5 million in roster bonuses and a $20 million salary for 2019.

The Cardinals are on bye this week.
