Re: Bridgewater Insurance only
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.

Re: Bridgewater Insurance only
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

Re: Bridgewater Insurance only
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.

Re: Bridgewater Insurance only
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.

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

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. |
Your team stinks

Re: Bridgewater Insurance only
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.
