Kevin O’Connell’s Discarded $12M Player Finds New Home at AFC as Vikings Splurge $300M in Rebuilding

Garrett Bradbury probably saw it coming, but that doesn’t make it any less brutal. One minute, you’re a first-round pick anchoring the Vikings’ O-line, and the next? You’re out the door like yesterday’s news. And just like that, Minnesota moved on from the 29-year-old center after six seasons, leaving him searching for a new home. But that’s the beauty of the NFL.

One team’s castoff is another team’s upgrade, and let’s just say it didn’t take long for a new home to come calling. Go on, have your guesses. On Wednesday, the ESPN Senior NFL insider, Adam Schefter, reported that Bradbury has reached an agreement on a two-year deal with the New England Patriots. As per the sources, the contract terms include $12 million for a couple of years, including $3.8 million guaranteed.

“Sources: Former Vikings’ 2019 first-round pick Garrett Bradbury has reached agreement on a two-year deal worth up to $12 million, including $3.8 million guaranteed, with the New England Patriots,” Schefter wrote in his ‘X’ post.
