If Teddy ends up going back to the Saints, starting and playing winning football for them, then it's going to tell us a lot more about our coaching than it will about Teddy.

 

It will say more about the quality of their roster, and if that happened they will inevitably lose in the wild card or divisional yet again. They couldn't get over the hump with Brees, so what is Teddy gonna do?

New England would be his best bet to succeed.  He could backup Cam and if Cam struggles, he could jump into the starting role. 

Denver could be an option. If Lock doesn't step up then they'd have a security plan. That way they don't have to draft one and create controversy. Then they could grab a great player at 9.

Teddy Bridgewater will be allowed to seek a trade following the Panthers’ deal to bring in Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, according to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network.
 
Finding a willing trade partner won’t be easy. Bridgewater is coming off a disappointing 2020 season that saw him post more turnovers than touchdown passes. He also has a cap hit this year of around $23 million, the highest on the team.
 
The trouble is there may only be a handful of teams who think Bridgewater would be an upgrade over their current starters. The Broncos, Bears and Giants come to mind, to name a few.
 
Hopefully Bridgewater lands on his feet and gets another opportunity to start, but it seems like a long shot at this point.

Come on Houston. Show us you still have it and want to fight us for that first pick in 2022 (if they haven't already traded it away).

We will cut him and he will sign a contract as a backup and do well in that roll. What he always was and should have been.

Why would another team give Teddy a chance to start when the Panthers, who were a bad team last season, are saying he wasn't good enough for them?

Why would we give Darnold a chance to start when the Jets, who were a worse team last season, are saying he wasn't good enough for them? poo happens, coaches see players differently.

I don’t think the Panthers could have made a bigger mess of the QB situation. They cut Cam with one year left on his contract and sign/overpay Teddy for 3-years. During the off-season make it known to everyone that they are done with Teddy (terrible negotiation tactics) after only one year But still own his big contract. And now have the young/unproven with hopefully hidden potential Sam Darnold as the QB.

To me, it looks like a bunch of rookie decisions/mistakes have been made at the most valuable position. It also seems like Tepper is meddling and I wonder if that is why the Panthers are where they are.

So, if I'm reading OTC correctly, cutting Teddy post June 1 still saves us $8M towards the cap, which pays Darnold's salary with a couple of million to spare. Teddy gets $15 M from us (plus $5M next year) plus whatever the other team pays him to be a backup.

That's what I understood. If we trade him, chuckle, we pay 10 million of his salary this year. Looking like a cut incoming but who knows at this point. Pressure and desperation makes for odd decisions in the NFL.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
