7. Teddy Bridgewater, QB, New Orleans Saints

Bridgewater played great when he started five games when Drew Brees was injured. He put himself in line to be the league’s most sought-after free agent. But the Saints would like to keep him even if Brees, 41, decides against retirement and signs a new contract. Franchising Bridgewater is an option, although it’s an expensive one at $27 million. But general manager Mickey Loomis is a master at working wonders with the salary cap.
