Welcome, Aboard!

Lol JP, this is exactly the sort of response I expected from you.

When they sign him to an extension, and he takes over for Brees in a couple years and provides us with security at the most important position for the next decade or so, you'll be happy we gave up that puny 3rd round pick.

But that another earlier pick that our friend, JP, can't ponder over next year. It's like losing a pet. It has to hurt.

Do we know who the DE we sent in return is yet?

We didn't send anyone or anything else.

I’d rather give up a 3rd now for Bridgewater and let him learn than sell the farm to trade up in the top 3 for a QB when the time comes.

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.

Teddy Bridgewater is a 25 year old (younger than Hill) and a former Pro-Bowl QB that fits our system. We now have a QB of the future / Insurance Policy (see Philly/Nick Foles) of today with very few question marks about his game.

I'm willing to bet the Saints front office have a plan to sign Teddy to a long term deal at some point.

Again, he may fit the system but where will we get the money? Teams are always willing to overpay. Does this mean Drew retires? Surely they have no plans of letting him walk. Drew is still a top 3 qb.

Bridgewater isn't in a position to demand a ton at this point. He can easily fit into our cap structure along with Brees for a few more years.

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!

Gushing over this
