SmittyBacall Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I can’t see a team parting with anything more than a conditional 6th rounder let alone Greg Olsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, No. If he continues to progress and shows he is back to form there will be several teams interested in him. I could see the Chargers, Saints, Steelers, Bengals etc all having interest. Plenty of teams with their starter getting close to retirement or needing to replace an ineffective starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Didn't we all say Bradford was worth a fifth or so AT BEST before Minnesota gave up a first for him? We don't value QBs nearly as much as NFL teams do. I'd guess he fetches a first or second. My biggest question would be which team would pull the trigger? We might be at a time where all 32 teams believe they have a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater, even when healthy, was never much more than an average QB. Looking good in the preseason against largely backups and vanilla defenses isnt going to raise his stock much. No one is going to trade much for him, especially on a one year deal when they could just try to sign him in the offseason. Ben said he wants to play 3-4 more years and we just drafted Mason Rudolph. Not saying Rudolph will amount to anything, but the Steelers arent going to have any interest in Teddy anytime soon. Only way I see a team trading for Teddy is if some teams starting QB goes down, and even then, I doubt any team gives up more than a 4th, My guess is Teddy stays on with the Jets this year and then draws interest from teams like the Bengals, Pats and Jags next offseason, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What teams would be interested in acquiring Teddy Bridgewater right now, and what would be enough compensation? For example, the Patriots may be interested in Bridgewater and trading versatile edge rusher/linebacker Dont'a Hightower, (or a player of similar caliber), may exactly what the Jets are looking for to make this deal. Bridgewater has 1-2 decent drives in the preseason and all of a sudden he's worth trading away for Hightower? Sure Hightower is coming off injury, but he's in his prime and there's no reason why he shouldn't get back to his Pro Bowl level. Also signed for the next 3 years compared to Bridgewater's 1 year deal. After Bridgewater's performance, his value went from zero to 6-7 pick. If his next game sucks, he's back to zero.

Teddy’s on a one year deal. He could obviously be re-signed by anyone that trades for him, but presumably he’d get little to no game action with those teams. It’d just be another prove it deal if those QBs retire. 39 minutes ago, bucsfan333 said: Didn't we all say Bradford was worth a fifth or so AT BEST before Minnesota gave up a first for him?

We might be at a time where all 32 teams believe they have a QB. Yeah, but that was mostly due to injury on a team looking to build off a playoff berth. And Bradford had a season of reasonable health (albeit, really so-so QB play) in between his last injury. Which Bridgewater hasn’t shown and in all likelihood, will not have the opportunity to show in 2018. It was really a perfect storm type of deal for Philly. — EDIT: Also, @DoleINGout, Bridgewater for Hightower is absolutely ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The Saints would be wise to look into acquiring him. Be a good QB of the future for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy is signed for just one season. He'd be free to choose his own team again next year. I only see Teddy being traded if a team loses a starter prior to the start of the year.

ragevsuall17 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A backup qb drawing up games like Hightower, Olsen, D-Jax, etc? He's never been any good... and not worth more than a mid round pick at best. I see the comparison to Bradford, but their 1 year deals signed a few months ago should tell you everything you need to know about how NFL franchises value them.

We might be at a time where all 32 teams believe they have a QB. If there is an injury to a starting quarterback, particularly one with playoff aspirations, I agree that the cost to acquire him would be a pretty good chunk of change. But right now he'd be acquired as a backup quarterback, so I don't think the cost would be high. The Jets are probably better off keeping all three and holding out hope through the trade deadline for a starter injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a serious playoff contender has a quarterback injury, I think it's a lock that he fetches a second along with maybe a conditional pick on the back end...provided he continues to look good, of course.

The Jets would give anyone access to talk to Teddy if they showed interest in trading for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers aren't giving up their best receiving weapon in Olsen for a back up QB. Any team that trades for Bridgewater will give up a late round pick that's it That’s an exceptional value for the team getting a franchise caliber QB.

For the Jets to part ways with Bridgewater to the Pats in a trade, I think this is one of the costs. I don’t think it’s a net gain for the Pats until next season unless Brady is injured when Bridgewater is acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
