Rams quarterback Sam Bradford, who was the first overall pick in April's NFL Draft, fully expects to be under contract in time to open training camp in late July.
"At this point right now (agent Tom Condon) hasn't given me any indication that there's going to be any problems getting a contract done," Bradford said Tuesday. "I expect to be in camp, on time."
Bradford should expect to receive a contract in excess of the six-year, $78 million deal that Matthew Stafford signed with the Lions in 2009.

Spagnuolo Says Feeley Is Starting QB

He came into the league far advanced from some quarterbacks I've worked with. We'll do first what's right for the team and second what's right for Sam."
