Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I hope he gets into the last preseason game so that Meredith might actually have a decent backup throwing him the ball....

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

Well they either see him as Drews long term successor or they see the benefits of tying him up and trading him to pick up pocks to a needy team.

If he can get back to his pre injury form its a great deal assuming its mid round picks.

I guess they have a eye on the long term with so players needing new deals in the upcoming years and having a QB tied up for a few years at a cap friendly deal would help. Hard to plan long term with a older high paid QB even if he is a legend

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

I’m thrilled with this decision. Teddy Bridgewater is a million times better than Savage and Hill... Obviously Payton knows that as well. With Bridgewater we actually have a guy who can be our Nick Foles to Carson Wentz if something were to happen to Brees and we’re making a real run.

I’m so excited I don’t know what to do.

A little surprising, but that tells me he’s clearly thought of as successor material.

Good. Better than anything on the roster @ QB not named Drew Brees.

Rez called this last off season.

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

Wow didn't see that coming...

Didn't think our back up play has been all that bad in order to pull the trigger like this but it does smell like an analytics move... that could prove long term successor to Bree's.
