Sean Payton extends Teddy's contract

We have our first bonafide backup qb in the entire Brees era (not some stiff option) and a legit heir apparent for what amounts to a high 4th round draft pick

Fabulous!

A team which he was part of the process for selecting Kamara,Lattimore,Williams and Thomas in the past few years?

Really

I had doubts about him turning things around over the past two years but the massive improvement on drafting and the deals done by the front office on the whole have been very good for the past couple of years. Think they all lost a step for a bit after the bountygate crap and i think he was to loyal to certain backroom staff due to this but once that change was made its been pretty clean sailing since

This was a great move
He has value as soon as a starting QB goes down.
Easy potential 1/2nd rounder if a good teams QB is out

Value as a long term successor

Value as a Bridge QB at worst

"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!

It's a long season. I totally see us making more trades before the deadline to get picks back and even higher picks. I'm looking at these rookie QB's, even some young Vets running around like it's cool. It's only a matter before the phone starts ringing.

Basically a one year deal. Whose to say he won’t demand more than we can afford next year? Whose to say we don’t get out bid? One year rental that may never see the field for a rd 3 pick.

A one year rental that can be traded and will get you a 3rd round comp pick if he signs a big deal elsewhere

Re: Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

Extend Teddy's deal and have Hill start working on his special teams snake oil

I was really scared about our backup QB situation going into the season
Not now

Get this man a playbook and hopefully he has all season holding the clipboard and learning our system

Drew has only missed one game since his Saints helm

Taking a chance on a guy with a career ending injury worked for us last time
Bridgewater sure looks good in those preseason highlights

Finally a viable replacement when Drew decides to hang up his cleats
