You never know, QB needy teams are desperate, I mean just look at Carolina trading for Darnold, it was certainly a desperation move because of what’s going on with Watson. The GM was reported saying he was going to get a QB either through FA, Trade or Via the Draft. If he agrees to a pay cut I can see New Orleans trading for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Never seen so many teams spinning the QB spinning wheel as this off-season. Appears teams will keep spinning it right up to opening day. So nice the Bills are not in line waiting for a turn at it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if they traded a qb to a team in their own division; but then again if you know he isnt good, is expensive, and you can hamstring their cap....

Paup 1995MVP Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Watching Teddy Bridgewater dink and dunk his way thru an NFL season is unbelievably painful. I thought he had some game with the Vikings until the terrible knee injury. But he is Trent Edwards w a tan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had some game with the Vikings until the terrible knee injury. But he is Trent Edwards w a tan. He is more like a less mobile Tyrod. Trent seemed completely unable to throw deep, Bridgewater is more like Tyrod where he has decent to solid arm strength but he is so averse to risk that he choose to not take risks even when he should. I think Bridgewater will make for a fine backup or placeholder for a rookie QB but you won't be able to win with him putting up a lot of garbage time stats and avoiding turnovers to the point of crippling your offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Is this a good time to point out that our back up QB is making like $2 million this year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I mean, how much will they get honestly? Mitch Trubisky is 10x better than Bridgewater and we signed him for $2.5M. At this point they will probably just have to release him. Who on earth wants to take on that contract? 1 hour ago, John from Riverside said: Is this a good time to point out that our back up QB is making like $2 million this year No kidding, John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 4 minutes ago, NoSaint said: lucky for him He can negotiate any contract he wants with the new team Not that simple. $10m of the $17m is guaranteed. My guess is In order to find a trade partner Carolina will have to pay at least half of the $10m and Bridgewater will have to forego most of the $7m that’s not guaranteed. More likely scenario is Carolina doesn’t find any takers and has to eat the $10m. Then Bridgewater signs for $3-4m in Houston where he has chance to start.

I’d be hard pressed to see them spend over $30m on a qb room with that being the depth chart. carolina did seem interested in taysom though so maybe that could be part of the send back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting off the hook for any is a win for Carolina, as is getting any compensation at all if bridgewater wants to start, every day he can get in his new system is big. if the two sides don’t play nice in getting something done they both lose as Carolina has no incentive to cut him earlier than they need to, as an insurance policy if nothing else... and then Carolina gets stuck with a full hit and bridgewater wastes a season.

machine gun kelly Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I don’t know. Watson at this point with criminal investigations in addition to the civil ones screams of him going on the commissioners exempt list until resolved. Kirwan on MTC was floating the other day Bridgewater to Houston as he would be an upgrade over Tyrod. At this point Tyrod is a career backup. I thought he only received something like $2.5 mil.
