I agree with OP that the Patriots could be a landing spot.

I will also add Washington. Ryan Fitzpatrick is not the answer! He will look good, then horrible, then good, then horrible. There's a reason the guy has never been in a playoff game. 

Also, if SF trades Jimmy G. to the Patriots, Teddy could be a good stop gap, bridge, vet backup for their rookie. They could trade Jimmy, then trade for Teddy and come out with the better picks.

Teddy, do what's right brother. Take a paycut to go to another team for a chance to start. Win-win-win situation.

No chance.

Taking a pay cut never works out for the player.

Teddy has an ironclad contract with the Carolina Panthers and I fully expect him to collect on every penny of it.

We might as well just keep him

$20 million dead cap if we cut him 

I am sure we are in the "untenable situation" portion of him being here, at this point. The dead cap sucks but we probably should have thought about that when we spent all this money on him last offseason. 

$20 mil is the just the dumb tax.

Allowing Bridgewater's representatives to reach out to other teams regarding a trade could help bridge the gap where contract issues are concerned.

There aren't any logical landing spots for Bridgewater where he'd be considered a sure-fire starter, but teams like Denver could use veteran options to compete. The Broncos want competition for Drew Lock, and new GM George Paton knows Bridgewater from their time together in Minnesota.

The Panthers have insisted that they can still bring Bridgewater back this season, even with Darnold in-house. The truth is Matt Rhule has been looking to move on from the incumbent since the end of the season. If a trade can't get worked out, the Panthers could cut the 28-year-old QB and allow him the freedom to select his next destination without Carolina recouping any compensation.

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 did we give Darnold a chance to start?  The culture, the coaches, the OL, the system, the play calling, etc. have everything to do with a player's chance to succeed.  It takes a village.

      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.
