QB Teddy Bridgewater: $22 million per year

I could see the Saints resigning Teddy for a backloaded contract with a cap hit next season of ~$5-10mil and then an avg of 16-18mil a year for the final 4 seasons.

Everyone who thinks you can get him below $16mil/year (when it counts)...not gonna happen.

Everyone who wants to let Teddy go for the 16-18mil a year. Good luck striking gold with the next QB while the Saints have a young core. Teddy can get you 50%-60% of what Drew can get you and has knowledge of the NFL game/Saints offense. He is not Drew Brees (no one is), but hes definitely better than a Blake Bortles/Joe Flacco type of QB.

There are more of a chance you get Bortles/Winston/etc. talent/type QB in the draft than getting a Mahomes.

Saints should ride the Teddy Train unless the price is wrong.
