ESPN's Rich Cimini writes the Jets are open to trading Teddy Bridgewater.

Bridgewater reportedly looked good during the offseason program, but the Jets will have little use for him if Sam Darnold wins the starting job in camp. It is not clear how much of a market there is for the former first-rounder, but he could help his value with a strong preseason. Several teams including the division-rival Dolphins could use an upgrade to their backup situation.

Can't think of a better backup QB situation. Price might be too steep though.

If he's available to trade, he's on the bubble to be cut:

Josh McCown / Sam Darnold / One of their former picks 

So to me Teddy is the odd man out here, I think he was insurance for the draft at a modest price, I see him hitting the market, can't imagine at this point to many teams willing to trade for Bridgewater.

The Jets have no reason to cut him honestly. They aren't strapped for cap space and Bridgewater is on a 1 year contract. They can hold onto him through training camp in hopes a QB needy team will trade an asset for him.

This one is kinda like shopping, it catches your eye, you pick it up, look at it, see the price, then put it down and keep moving. My wife however, she buys it and says, but the are shoes (QB) and were on sale.  Everything in the store is for sale, there for, everything is on sale.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
