Bridgewater in Cincinnati-no longer a hope

Yeah I wouldn't say the Saints got him for cheap.  Seems the Jets got the better part of that deal.  Maybe the plan is insurance for Brees with the possibility that Bridgewater may be Drew's replacement in a year or two.  That said Bridgewater has had 2 regular season snaps since the end of the 2015 season.  Both in week 15 of the 2017 season against the Bengals when the game was already a blowout and his only pass was an INT. So a 3rd round pick for a recovering QB that has not played a full regular season game since 2015 seems a bit pricey to me.
