NFL.com reports Carolina finalizing deal with Bridgewater

[The Elevator Killer 497]

That was my second choice for the Bucs. If Brady goes to the Chargers (which is what will probably happen) we could be looking at Shamus again. Ugh.

Thank God for NFL free agency. Finally some sports related news worth following.

I think most of these free agent QBs are no better than bridge QBs anyway. Brady has 1-2 seasons left at most and he’s probably cooked.

They’d be better off signing a cheap vet to hold down the fort and drafting their long term option. What kind of contract is Mariota looking at?

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Does Bridgewater have compromising pic on everyone?  I'll take Kaep over him.

[KSB2424 3,083]

Ugh.  I thought we were rebuilding.  6-10 here we come!!!

We really haven't seen enough of Teddy to know how good he can be.  He was just starting to show us something in MN before the injury, which was pretty devastating as I recall.  He looked pretty damned good filling in for Brees.  I guess Carolina thinks they can build on that.  He's still pretty young.

I wonder who will take a chance on Newton now? 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,630]

Redskins.

Keenum put up numbers, Cousins put up numbers.  Bridgewater, not so much. 

A very brief time in NO is getting him paid.  We have seen that before.  Doesn't work.

I don't like Bridgewater that much.  I'm glad he's going to Carolina.  Better there than Tampa I say.

Who do want to see us sign? 

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

They are saying it is a deal for $60m over 3 years.  

[Herbivore 905]

Much rather pay Teddy 20m than Tanny 30m.  I wonder if Cam would work for the Pats.

For the money, I would have given him that and moved on from Dak.

Obviously Brady is my preference, but now that Rivers is gone, I'd like to trade for Dalton.  I wouldn't be opposed to trading for Brissett either.  He only has 1 year at $15M left on his deal.  I'm willing to bet that the Colts would easily part with him for a 5th round pick.  Could use pick #14 on a QB or maybe even wait until the 2nd round... I really like the kid from Washington (Gordon?).  I'd take every one of those options over a 3 year commitment with Bridgewater.  I think he's a nice QB, but I don't think he's anything more than that.  I don't think a team can win anything of substance with him.  He can get you 9 wins... maybe 10, if everything on your team is perfect (which Carolina is not), but I don't think playoff wins would be in any teams' futures with him as the QB.

Rivers signed somewhere?   Guess I missed it.

Looks like he's going to sign with the Colts.

Thanks.  Wasn't up on ESPN when I checked.

I had no idea. When TBay said he was gone I had to google it.
