Teddy A Bronco

Honestly, surprised it took this long to come together.

I feel for Teddy. He's now basically a journeyman. Who knows how things could have turned out for him if it weren't for that ugly injury.

Definitely hampered his development, but I think this is who he is. Bridge QB. Would love to have him if not for the contract as a backup.

I think he would have been a better QB than what he was this past year but he's made $44MM in his career so far. He will be just fine

44 million doesn't go as far as it used to.

Good move for the Broncos. I think Teddy competes with Lock and probably wins the job. We'll see where it goes from there. Teddy looked good early last year, but then was pretty terrible down the stretch. 

So how long before Denver's RB goes out for the year?  

Also, Broncos trying to entice a trade-up by saying they're still in the QB market. Uh, no.  Will be interesting to see who trades up to where to catch the 4th and  5th QB, because after SF at 3 the next team that NEEDS a QB is New England at 15.  Atlanta might take one, but with a choice of Chase or Pitts instead I'd wait.  Also it depends on who is sliding.  If SF really does take Jones, I expect Lance and Fields to be traded up for pretty quick.  If SF regains their brains and takes Fields or Lance, Mac could last until double digits.

More logistics on new Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater ...

• Bridgewater agrees to a paycut from $17M to $11.5M.

• Panthers agree to pay $7M of the $11.5M.

• Panthers save $3M off Bridgewater's guarantee, get a sixth-rounder.

• Teddy keeps $1.5M of his non-guaranteed money.

Bridgewater is traded to the #Broncos. #Panthers paid $31M for the one year of Bridgewater

But here is the thing... The Panthers paid him $14M against the cap in 2020 and will hold the $17M in 2021 (add the two to get to $31M). They have Darnold on a $5M contract in 2022 so they're still only have $22M on the cap for QBs. Cash is not a problem for the Panthers and they're navigating the cap impacts of these moves well.
