Dolphins negotiations with Teddy Bridgewater seem to favor QB. Will team blink?

Wow, either Teddy is playing a serious long game or he's been talking to Tonya Harding. No doubt, New Orleans is a much better situation, but to be able to recognize that, and choose it over a starting job in his home town is pretty impressive. I hope it works out for him. 

Kind of tells me that Sean knows that Drew isnt coming back in 2020

Looks like a serious long game:


Saints restructured Drew Brees' contract.The basic restructure turned some of Brees' salary into a signing bonus, creating $10.8 million in cap space. The move sends that $10.8 million hit into what will be a voided year in 2020, meaning Brees will count at least $21.3 million against the 2020 cap whether or not he is on the team. That hit will be tough to swallow, but the Saints are as win-now as any organization in the league.

I think Brees will still be the QB in 2020 in New Orleans.

So Teddy wants to be a career backup QB?  I guess someone has to, and you get rich too.  Most guys gunning for championships actually want to be playing in the games not on the sidelines cheering.  I'm not sure what he's thinking.  Is it more money in NO even as a backup?

Perhaps Teddy was told he wasn't the future in Miami and that he was just there to mentor young haskins ?

Teddy wanted more money than Miami wanted to pay him.

Is he making that money in nawlins?  He has the expectation of getting a decent team passed to him soon there, but no guarantees...what didn't Miami offer that the saints did?
