4. QB Teddy Bridgewater, Saints

The final option is probably the most unlikely, but undoubtedly has the highest ceiling of any of the names that have been mentioned. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is set to become a free agent in the next few weeks and would love the chance to prove that he is a franchise quarterback.

At just 27 years old, Bridgewater is starting to hit his prime. He was fantastic for the Saints last season when forced into action, winning all five of his starts. While his passing numbers were unspectacular, he is the type of player that will do anything needed to win a game.

If the Raiders wanted to bring in a player to compete with Derek Carr for the starting quarterback job, Bridgewater would be the top option. Bridgewater could be a perfect fit in Gruden’s offense due to his incredible accuracy and ball placement. However, he is likely to be the most expensive quarterback on this list.

While it’s fun to envision an open competition between Carr and Bridgewater, don’t expect this to happen as Teddy will likely command more money on the open market than the Raiders have to offer.
