Can we franchise and trade Teddy in the offseason?

I keep seeing post on how we should have traded Teddy before the trade deadline. Am I missing something here? I understand franchising a player cost big $, but we should be able to trade him rather quickly.

Kind of a dick move to not let him choose where he plays, and will hurt us in public perception when pursuing other free agents.

If you love something...let it go.
If it love you...it will come back.

Yeah we’re not doing that. We’ve become a decent destination for FAs. That would look like a total dick move for a guy who has been fantastic for the organization. The likely modest return you get likely in no way makes up for the PR hit.

We got 5 wins without Drew Brees.... that's what we got for Teddy Bridgewater.
A good trade.

So just to clarify, you want to put Teddy on a 1-year $26,700,000 (estimated) contract for the 2020 season?
Side Note: Drew Brees will be making $21,300,000 next season

We’ll likely get a 3rd round comp pick if he signs elsewhere anyway. Would be stupid to do this to him.

Absolutely the Saints could, if they can come up with the cap space. Not sure what that salary assignment would be, but it's one way to lock him down while negotiating a long term contract.
If you plan to deal him, that's a shitty thing to do to Bridgewater, unless you send him to the Pats.
Personally I'd let him hit FA, I don't see him as the heir apparent to Brees. I do think he'll draw some decent offers.

Lol franchise a backup qb and pay him the average of the top 5 salaries at that position. Then what team will want him at that value? Brilliant idea. Texting loomis now.

no, franchising him would cost more then just signing him

Teddy probably played too well for him to come back to the Saints.
At some point, in order to close out Drew's cap hits, and pay our other players, we are going to need to get a QB on a rookie contract.

Teddy deserves more then that. He kept this team in the hunt, let him earn what’s due..... as long as its not in the NFC South :-)
