That's what I thought.  I assumed Bridgewater was going to the Broncos since they lack a vet QB and are likely going into the season with Case Keenum and Chad Kelly (Paxton Lynch has to get cut here, soon) and no legit vet backup, the Jaguars for when Bort Bortles Bort Bortles-es it up this year, or a team with QB injuries

A 3rd round pick to a team that doesn't need him now...odd. Then Again if a QB gets injured the Saints have a starting QB they don't need they can trade for a 1st.
