Payton has been learning from Bill B and the Patriot way

I was miffed when we traded Brandon Cooks but look how well that worked out

And the Patriots flipped him

Bridgewater is a low cost insurance policy
And legit answer to life after Brees

Worst case scenario, insurance on a team that could win it all. Savage and Hill wasn't going to get it done. Great move. The Saints are stacked top to bottom.

Opportunity. It gives the Saints a year to warm Bridgewater up to the idea of taking over in the future at the cost of a 3rd round pick.

I have wanted us to get him when he was in college and Im a Kentucky fan. It hurt badly to want someone from Louisville but now Im just worried he wont resign. He is young and even if he is only 90 percent from what he used to be he is in a great system for his skill set.

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater
 

I think this is long term my friend. I'm sure he does want to be a starter sooner than later, but this is an opportunity he would be crazy to pass up. I doubt Drew will play more than another 2 or 3 seasons at the most. At some point the desire to have more time with his family and to devote to his multiple business interests will probably win out. And this probably makes it even easier for him. Knowing that the team he helped bring to actual relevance will be in good hands for years to come. And if the staff were only worried about a one year rental on a backup then they probably could have paid much less for someone capable. It almost makes too much sense, for both sides for him to sign an extension and wait in the wings. It has to happen.

Now Drew can go run for President and he won't have to worry about us.

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater
 

What could we get in return if we traded Drew now that we have a good Qb on the roster? I say unload him while we still have him under contract and get something for him.

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater
 

Not that I particularly care, but I don't get this from the Jets perspective. Why bring him in, watch him look fantastic in preseason (from the footage earlier in this post), add in his work as a Vike which was at least damn solid if not very good, and then dump what looks like a good to potentially great starting QB for a measly 3rd pick next year? Are they THAT stacked at QB, are they concerned about the injury lingering, or do they just not give a crap about this season?

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater
 

Who knows their thinking. They are the Jets. Not going anywhere this year and if they lose their QB oh well. Always another year to make bad decisions.
