Teddy Bridgewater

Bridgewater’s career has been a wild rollercoaster ride, thus far. He saw some success in his second season, leading the Vikings to an NFC North title. Since then, he suffered a torn ACL and dislocated knee, missed a full year, was signed by the Jets just to be traded to Saints before the season started, and became a phenomenal fill-in with the Saints.

The 27-year-old brought the Saints to a 5-0 record in his five starts for the injured Brees. He threw for 1,384 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions with a 99.1 passer rating. New Orleans didn’t ask him to do too much, but he did everything well.

Now, the Saints have two of their three quarterbacks (Brees and Bridgewater) hitting unrestricted free agency, and their third (Taysom Hill) is a restricted free agent. It would be wise to assume that two of these guys will be coming back, it’s just a matter of which two. Bridgewater looks to have a promising future ahead of him, and the New Orleans system seems to fit him perfectly. However, a team like New England could be interested in a guy who should be nearing his prime and probably wouldn’t command top dollar.
