ESPN: Teddy Bridgewater is Saints' best trade asset before deadline

Yeah but Josh Rosen is the future in AZ. And all I really want for Christmas is Patrick Peterson.

Jacksonville has some pretty shiny players we could use for depth, as well as getting draft pick(s) back...

How long does Miami roll with "Brocktober"? Bridgewater would be great there as well...

I’d rather keep him.

Realistically, how many teams would trade for him?
NFC South, no way we do it
the Giants, but they are in sell mode
Mia might take a look, but they aren't going anywhere with or without
Denver, maybe?
Jacksonville might be the best possibility

only real options are in Florida

Yep! Me too! I guess it depends on how much longer Drew wants to play. One year? Teddy probably stays. Three to five years? Teddy will probably not want to wait that long........

The problem is we have so few draft picks that we will probably be active in free agency and we could lose a third round comp pick. Also, our free agents are very hit and miss and I don't trust the pro scouting director to match talent to our team needs and system. We have good coaches and they help the the rookies play well, but we miss on too many free agents every year who are not a good fit.

Brees has already stated he is planning on playing several more years. I believe him. Why not? He is amazing!

This is about the most I want to see Bridgewater do with this team...


Brees goes - we're done...

unless we geaux wishbone with Taysom, who's still a year away...

Teddy could run this offense and would offfer us the best chance winning without Drew we have ever had since SP took over.

I don't get the hate for Teddy B. I think he could absolutely step in and help this team to the playoffs. Maybe not the super bowl, but on the other hand if Nick Foles can do it then so could Teddy. Foles is a joke, Teddy has legitimate starter ability at the very least.

That’s what I’m saying. His bones have got to be getting brittle.

I think we have to retain him as an insurance policy right now. God forbid Brees suffers an injury, Teddy has more of a polished skill set and starter experience than Taysom Hill does right now and would be less of a drop off as a fill in starter to carry us through any time Brees misses. And we could still showcase the same Taysom gadget plays as we do now. If we moved Teddy for another asset before the deadline we would be in a dangerous position should we need to sub at QB.

I did hear talk of rumors surrounding Bridgewater to the Jags and Calais Campbell coming our way which would be a massive upgrade to the d-line rotation though.

We got Teddy for what? A 3rd? Pretty sure it'll take more than that to pry him away from us.

He is worth more than a 3 right now. It was a berserk move. Most genius moves are berserk. Did we really need him? Of course not. Our draft next year is well, we don't really have one. If someone offers a 2nd we'd take it. So he is an insurance policy but, one we can sell to someone if they want to over pay.

The strength of this team is the draft. We have done extremely well. Off the charts really. I think he is a fine QB but we need to focus on our strength and if the Jags want to give up a 2nd or a 3 and change take it and run.

That's ridiculous. I'm 61 and my bones aren't brittle. And I'm sure he has even a healthier diet than I employ.
