broncosfan07 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 We will see tomorrow if this is the last QB move or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Helicopter Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'd prefer a 7th, but I guess this gives us more camp competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncosFan2010 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I am still a Teddy believer. Not sure why, maybe its because he is such a good dude, but I still feel he can be a fringe 'win a game in the playoffs' caliber QB. But right now there still isnt a QB on the team that can bring us to the games that really, really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncofan48 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hopefully it doesn’t preclude them from taking a QB if one is available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bMiller031 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Nice, I like it. Teddy at a reduced cap number is a more valuable piece than a R6 pick, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Called it the other day. Love the person, not crazy about the player. But not at all surprised Paton went with someone he knows. Should be a good push for Drew and help mentor him. Also a reliable backup. Otherwise, however, this doesn’t really move the needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Don't see this as a big game-changer either way - because at 3M, and no 2022 dead money, it's not like GM Paton is committing to anyone either way. If Paton wants a Rd1 QB, Lock gets traded. If he trades back, the same option for Watson/Wilson/Rd1 2022 holds (especially if a trade back for 2022 high-end picks happens). The $ and Rd6 pick commit just means Paton won't be left with just Lock alone for 2022. That was a necessity. If he's still in on a Rd1 QB that's there or available at the right price to move up - Bridgewater becomes the mentor. I think whether Lock succeeds or fails, it's pretty clear he doesn't really fit the "rookie mentor" QB, either. Bridgewater really covers all the angles - Rd1 rookie mentor, or viable actual 2021 starter if Lock's failure to progress continues. He just isn't the long-term answer to compete in the AFCW with KC/LAC, but we've not really paid enough to sweat about it, other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Teddy Bridgewater is that bad that another team is willing to pay $7MM for him to NOT play for them. I gotta say...another boon for Paton. You got another team to pay more than half of your current player's salary.

thebestever6 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hated it at first bc I wanted a viable guy in the draft but three mill is not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting a QB is still an option. This hasn’t changed anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Cecil Lammey is speculating that DET may still have interest in Drew Lock and a Lock + 9 could net us 7, if Fields is still there. If that is viable, it really makes this trade more viable IMO. If not, seem like a stop-gap move to me, it does provide QB competition just as Paton said.

broncosfan07 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Either we have 2 QBs who at best probably lead us to 7-9 can be moved on from next season or Teddy is a bridge for a rookie and Lock is done. Not a terrible deal but Bridgewater is nothing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
