Bridgewater never looked close to  $20 million QB until he was surrounded by multiple Pro Bowl weapons with an offensive genius head coach in New Orleans.

Bridgewater does seem like one of those "awesome off the bench, middling as a starter" sort of QBs ala Nick Foles or Matt Flynn.

"Asking for" $20 million and "getting" $20 million are two different things.  


I think most teams would prefer Dalton over Bridgewater.

I know it is way out there, but what if Bengals traded Dalton for Cam straight up, then drafted Young with 1st pick???

I know unlikely, but who knows.

Patriots have don't have enough cap money to afford Newton's $21+ million salary and he is coming off 2 years of injuries.  Dalton would be the better bet

 Brissett would be the same hit as Newton

Winton or Bridgewater could probably be gotten cheaper but they both have red flags.  Winston with his interceptions and field decision making which would make adapting to a Belichik system tough.  Bridgewater has played only 1 complete season in his career

Thurney and a 2nd rounder to the Bengals.

Oh, I agree. Just goes to show that Dalton at 17 MIL a year is a bargain given his experience and 5 trips to the playoffs. Plus, given he is under contract for just 1 more year, it can be a prove it type year for Dalton before the team he goes to decides if they want to re-sign him.

Yeah, you always ask high...especially in the bedroom *nudge nudge*

True, but time will tell if that is offset by having to actually pry him from a GM who isn't desperate to keep his job.

Dalton has a lot going on. He's not aged out in his 40s and doesn't have an extensive injury history. Much of his lack of playoff success can easily be pinned on the Bengals as a team and not all on Dalton. If I were Andy Dalton right now I'd be feeling like I owned the cat bird seat.

The Panthers and Teddy Bridgewater are negotiating a 3-year contract in the $60 million range, per source. The deal is not done as they work out details but it is expected to be complete when new league year opens Wednesday.

I just saw the Colts are finalizing a deal with Rivers. So the QB pool is shrinking a bit.

Smart. Joe Brady going after a guy that knows and has run a similar system to what he did at LSU.

It's looking like Dalton's options would be the Patriots or LA/TB that Brady leaves in the lurch.  Hot take....we cut Dalton and he ends up on the Steelers.


EDIT - Bears just signed Robert Quinn, so they seem to be eating up too much cap to make that bold QB move they said they would.

I expected this.  Rivers has ties to the current Colt coaches.

weird cause they didn't have much cap space... if they are making a QB move their will be some cap causalities.

Was matt Flynn the guy that came in for Green bay 1 game then never started again dispite being paid well?

Maybe they'll sign that QB who was tearing it up in the XFL.

Yeah, filled in for Rodgers during some starter benching end season game or two and played lights out and managed to get contracts from Seattle and Oakland before he flopped out.

SIX TOUCHDOWN PASSES in one game off the bench.  Made himself more money in one day than any player in NFL history.
