Ian Rappoport: Multiple teams interested in trading for Teddy Bridgewater

The same posters flaunting that Teddy will have a better year than Sam are probably the same ones that killed him the most when he threw a two yard pass on 4th and 8. 

On the surface it seems pretty contradictory...but it's actually fairly consistent and predictable.  Whichever narrative maximizes the amount of whining about the team, is the one Huddlers will latch onto.

Saints are just waiting to see if we cut him.

In no way would I cut him. He gives us options this year and his cap would only hurt us. We can wait till after pre season and the start of the year and if someone gets hurt we will get just as much compensation as now.

In a cash strapped year we may look at it as a smart move?

Designate him a June 1, save 12M this season and put's 10M in dead money into 22.

Or, like you said, keep someone who will be miserable in the locker room, pay him his 22M, and it will still cost us 5M in 22 to cut him...or two seasons of 2.5M in dead money.

So, if we can't trade him, you are adding 12M to this years cap space, and only really costing the team 5M more to do it this season vs. next.  I don't want Teddy anywhere near this team, and I think the feelings are mutual.

Not bad at all. We’d only have the $10M dead cap from his $15M signing bonus. That’s money already paid so it was going to hit in 2021/2022 regardless. Trading him is best case as it saves us $10M unless we agree to partially paying the guarantee. We’d only do that if we were getting a pick in return. Pretty sure we aren’t scared of Teddy being the starter anywhere. I’d be happy to see him in NO, really happy.

Thank you.

Wasn't exactly sure how it was structured.  I'll take anything at this point.

Teddy with no line or check down is a scary thought. Gase loved long developing plays with no protection.... sounds familiar?

This is true. Perhaps it would have been worse?

I think Teddy makes decisions fairly quickly, I think he just leans way, way, WAAAAAAAY too conservatively.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
