Teddy Bridgewater may find new NFL home quickly after Sam Darnold trade
NY Post
Teddy Bridgewater’s second stint as Sam Darnold’s teammate might be shorter than the first.
Bridgewater and his agent have found multiple teams interested in making a trade for the 28-year-old quarterback, according to NFL Network. The Panthers gave permission to Bridgewater and his agent to find a trade partner earlier this week, after they replaced him as their starting quarterback with Darnold’s acquisition. In order to get a deal done, however, Bridgewater is going to need to take a pay cut. His contract pays a $17 million base salary, including $10 million guaranteed. That’s not in line with the market for a quarterback who either would be a backup or in a competition to start. Perhaps one of the teams expected to draft a first-round quarterback — like the Jaguars – or one who is uncertain about its young starter – like the Broncos – would add Bridgewater.More Related News

The preferred path to follow remains in place: Select a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the draft. That is what the Giants hope will happen. When it comes to identifying and securing a franchise-saving player, though, hope is not a good thing, maybe the worst of things — with apologies to Andy Dufresne.
