From a Panthers perspective there is no reason not to trade him. No matter what getting him off the books is a win. 

All we have to do is cut him and we save some. At worst 2 million if done now. Trade would obviously help more but we aren't exactly upside down in terms of his cap hit currently.

FYI: The NFLrums Twitter is also saying that the Steelers have "shown interest" in Bridgewater.

Haven't seen a credible Steelers source say it and they just signed Haskins so, as usual with this account, it's likely bullsh-t.

They just tweet about things fan sites say. There are Steelers  fan sites suggesting he is an option. It's like tweetimg some idea floated here as a a rumor. It's the kind of vague bs twitter entities get away with to create traffic

Why would a team trade for him when it's more likely we release him?

I'm guessing to secure that they get him. If released, 31 teams would have a shot at him if they choose.

I'm not sure why a team would be so interested, but if they are willing to give anything, then take it run.

I question any of these "cap hell" teams when they are talking about Teddy. Why make your path to getting under the salary cap for 2021 even harder?

People are ignoring how bad that contract is and that not many teams want it or can afford it at the $180 mil cap level.

Yeah but you can get him for pennies compared to what his current contract is. I can assure you, Teddy won't be looking at an eight figure contract if/when he gets cut.

You are kidding yourself if you think they were actually offering something for him and his contract to be a backup QB. They were more likely offering to take him off our hands if the Panthers gave them a 5th rd pick or something like that.

Make it a 6th and we have a deal

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
