The Final Numbers: 3 years, 63 million dollars for Teddy Bridgewater

Recommended Posts

The Panthers have a new quarterback.

The deal to make Teddy Bridgewater a Panther is done, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, with the sides agreeing to a three-year, $63 million contract.

The Panthers allowed Cam Newton permission to seek a trade earlier Tuesday after they were deep in negotiations with Bridgewater’s representation.

Bridgewater has familiarity with Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady from their days together with the Saints before Brady went to LSU.

Bridgewater, 27, went 5-0 in place of Drew Brees last season, completing 67.9 percent of his passes for 1,384 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.

He is 22-12 in his career as a starter.

With the market moving, that isn’t a whole lot to spend on a QB. There are enough weapons on this offense for him to be successful. The defense however, will be the problem. Let our next QB sit behind him while we “reTOOL” our defense and we might be headed in a good direction. Not excited about parting from Cam, but I think Bridgewater outplayed Brees last year.... at least late. I think we can contend with him at QB, but only if we get a good defense going. Reserving judgement til I see what we do on the defensive side.

True. I wonder if he is the building block that Rhule will take to the next level or a bridge for a rookie QB this year or next 

More than likely a bridge to a drafted QB but a good guy to have around. Not gonna act mad and throw a hissy fit like some "grown adults" on here

Hope he does well, but I wouldnt want to be the guy replacing Cam.  He has big shoes to fill.

Technically, he may not be (hence the "bridge" talk).

The old saying goes that you don't wanna be the guy who replaces the superstar. You wanna be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced the superstar.

Whoever we end up drafting at quarterback this year or next is probably Newton's actual successor.

    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
