The Rams and representatives for Sam Bradford kicked off their negotiations Friday in St. Louis as they attempt to get the quarterback under contract in time for training camp.
A deal is unlikely to be struck Friday, a league source said, but both the Rams and Bradford's reps are expected to lay the groundwork for what will be the richest contract in NFL history.
The guaranteed money in the deal is expected to be between $45 million and $50 million, the source said.
Last year the Detroit Lions gave No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford a six-year deal that included $41.7 million in guaranteed money.
Both sides are aiming to finalize a deal by the time the Rams open training camp to their rookies on July 28. Bradford was the draft's No. 1 pick out of Oklahoma.

The team will fork up an ungodly amount of money to get him, just to keep him from going elsewhere and playing against them. Yes, he played great college ball, the Heisman, yadda yadda, but now he is in the big time and if he thought the pressure was on in college ball, it will be interesting to see how he handles the stress of pressure from owners, coaches and team mates that will be jealous of his salary, not to mention the press.

Side bar: I haven't heard much on Tebow lately, wonder if he has perfected the correct pro football QB throwing stance, and correct throwing arm position, yet"?
 
And Troy finished up at UCLA.

Even Barry Switzer knew he didn't have a prayer at an NFL career if he stayed in Sooner town.
