Bridgewater Insurance only

If coach thought he could trade him to a team in need for a 2nd and Taysom is his guy then this makes a lot of sense.

I can’t see it happening. Payton has said that Bridgewater is the #2 QB, not Hill. All the cool stuff we do with Hill would probably have to stop if he was the back-up.

Agreed. Why would you risk your #2 QB with all this gimmick stuff?

If someone come up and offered a 1st or early 2nd then I say bite. Other than that keep him and get the comp pick. Only thing that would change that would be Drew walking into the sunset with a second Lombardi

We just shipped off JT Barrett which leaves us with only 3 quarterbacks. I can't see this happening either, but you never know with Payton and Loomis. In my opinion, we've never had a true capable backup quarterback to Brees except for Mark Brunnel, and eventhough we drafted Greyson and I forget what other quarterback with some fairly high draft choices, I feel like we've never really put a lot of value on that backup position.

It's a win/win if he walks and we get our 3rd round pick back. It's a great use of the future capital once again by Mickey Loomis.

As active as we usually are in free agency there’s no way we’d get a 3rd round comp pick for Bridgewater.

Other than re-signing our own folks, not sure who's out there that would offset us getting a 3rd compensatory pick back unless Herr Guudell puts in the fix...

I am perplexed why you keep pushing this narrative. It is bizarre to me. This is the second such post. Why not just keep it all on the same post.

If TB was just an insurance policy for '18 why would you trade him not even half way through the season, lol. That in and of itself demonstrates that concept as lunacy. You would carry him for the entire season as...insurance.

I don't think we picked up TB as insurance. I think we picked him up because SP saw him as a very ready and real DB replacement. Now that doesn't mean we wouldn't trade him. I think we certainly could do that because we have made so many moves letting go of picks. So if Jacksonville offered a second we'd probably take it. I don't think that was why we sent a third away for him. I think we sent a third because our plan at that time was for him to be the heir.

Unless there is an offer we just can't pass up I think he will be resigned and eventually take over for Drew.

I don't know if it is win/win if we do that because we still have to replace DB at some point...it wouldn't be a complete waste and terribly idiotic move if that happened. I could live with it if that happened. I hope he stays. We are one injury away from a **** season. TH is fun and I like having him, but he cannot compete against a starting unit with all the different looks you don't get in preseason.
