Is Teddy Bridgewater really going to get $20 million + per year?

I frankly don’t see it. I think in normal years he’d get that kind of bunse, but there are actually a glut of QBs right now that we haven’t seen in ages.

I wouldn’t be shocked if someone gets him for what amounts to a 1 year $15 mill deal.

If you disagree with me, please name the team/s you think who would pay Teddy over $20 mill or higher per year

no, hes going to get $30+ mil because thats the base pay for a top 15 starting QB now, which is what he is

It would not surprise me if he got $20 because that's the going rate for a decent QB , and there is a huge shortage of decent players at the position. He is an average QB at best. The Saints made him look better than he was. The Defense played out of their minds when he was the starter in the 5 games he had.

I don't dislike him and I am appreciative of what he did for us this season, however, he is just an average veteran QB.

Mahommes is probably going to get average of 40 million a year and Dak will probably average mid 30's. Someone is going to pay him 20 million especially if they think he will be their starter.

I could see Tampa Bay giving him 20 mil to start and moving on from Winston.

When you realize that $20M makes him the 15th highest paid QB, and that doesn't include another 8ish QBs still on rookie deals... He'll get at least $20M as it's the new norm for a starting QB not on a rookie deal.

There are a lot of teams that would love to have Teddy.

Scenario 1) Teams that need a starting QB without one on the current roster: Tampa, Carolina & San Diego.

Scenario 2) Teams that may draft a QB, but need a starter at the moment: Miami, San Diego, Cincinnati & Denver.

Scenario 3) Teams that have questions at QB and could bring a QB in to compete as a starter: Chicago, Washington, Cleveland, Indianapolis & Jacksonville.

Scenario 4) Teams with free agent or aging QBs who may be looking to move on to another QB: New England, Pittsburgh, Detroit & Tennessee.

Considering that top flight starting QBs will get $38-40M, $20M is a bargain. I think he will probably get somewhere in the $18-22M range easily. He’s one of the top free agents after Brady & Brees. He’s probably next with Tannehill IMO.

It's possible that the Patriots, Steelers, Chargers, Panthers, Bucs, Dolphins, Jags, Bengals, & Broncos will all be looking for new QBs in 2020. Eliminate the Bengals & Dolphins because they'll be drafting a QB high most likely. I could easily see the Bucs, Steelers, or Broncos offering Teddy top dollar, be that $25M or $30M depending on what the market looks like and what happens with Brees, Brady, Rivers, Tannehill, & Roethlisberger

Honestly, if I am Carolina and I don't want Tua, Teddy for 25 million a year is a great deal.

He absolutely will. There’s not really any debate.

Yup, exactly spot on.

He won 5 games with very little chemistry with the first stringers and barely throwing for the first 3 games. His passing was getting better as his rapport was building. I don't think there's any doubt a team will jump on that.

Still can't believe Az spent the 10th pick on Rosen, traded him to the Dolphins (for a late 2nd round pick), and they will most likely spend a high 1st on a QB. Wonder if Rosen gets traded again,

In reality, they probably keep him as a cheap backup, would count less than $3M against the cap in 20 & 21.

I think your 15mil is the absolute bottom scraping price.
