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
I think Brees will still be the QB in 2020 in New Orleans.
Then why sign a one year deal with the Saints? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

The fish deserve to be insulted if they wouldnt offer a starting QB 16 million plus incentives... any QB that is starting should be in that 20 range, so Teddy was offering a discount but wanted to be able to get up to a real wage if he did well..... unless he isnt 100% I dont know why they wouldnt pay him on a short term deal.

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?
Why do you say career backup? Payton has already expressed that Bridgewater is his post-Brees guy, so I mean it kind of depends on how long you think Brees is going to keep going.

I just don't see them handing it over to Teddy: they'll bring in competition when Brees retires. Its the prudent thing to do.

I meant he has a chance to "prove it" that he has the ability to be quality starting QB again. The last time he was considered that has been several seasons ago now. If he truly wants the opportunity to shine, and lead a team, then choosing to sit behind Brees for another season or two seems like an odd choice to me.
Seems like he wants to be on a winning team and patiently wait for his future opportunity in a year or two. I would expect most QBs that want to make a name for themselves as a true starting QB would jump at the opportunity when it arrives; especially in front of his hometown fans.

he almost lost his career once, i am sure that as much as he would love to play tomorrow...his financial side is also saying 1 more year of holding the clipboard and take over a ferrari... or for only a few million more per year move home on a massive discount and play for a mess of a team and possibly see it all end again? might as well hold out for that pay day and ferrari IMO.
any word on what the phish were actually offering if they wouldnt give TB 16 plus incentives?

Interesting read from the Miami Herald on missing out on Bridgewater:
https://amp.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-c...ssion=true
...and just 24 hours before his "I didn't love you anyway" rant, Armando tweets in response to Tyrod Taylor signing with the Chargers: "That cannot be good for the Dolphins. They absolutely need to go back to Teddy Bridgewater and plead with him to leave New Orleans."
Time will tell, but I think this goes down in history as another Culpepper over Brees decision by the Fins.
What are the Dolphins trying to do?
I guess I'm a little confused. I think it seems logical for them to get the cheapest QB they can possibly get, tank for the 2020 #1 draft pick or pay enough for the best FA bridge QB they can get and draft someone this year. I just don't get them trying to cheap out at QB. Whats the strategy they're going for?
If I were Teddy I would have just made a friendly deal with Miami and gotten on the field. Once you're there, prove that you're worth a big $ contract. Why sit on the bench especially when you've been sitting there for several years already? Going back to New Orleans for a maybe you'll start someday situation seems like a dumb move, unless he just wants to collect a check and not take the pounding which is a career for some guys at the backup qb position.
