Report: Teddy Bridgewater close to Jets deal
Posted by Darin Gantt on March 13, 2018, 2:52 PM EDT

With the quarterback dominoes falling quickly, the Jets can’t afford to be left out.

And they may have found their Plan B.

According to Bryant McFadden of CBSSports.com, the Jets are nearing a deal with Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

With guys flying off the shelves, it might be the best business the Jets can do, though it won’t take them out of the running for a rookie quarterback. The Jets pick sixth overall.

Bridgewater showed promise before a traumatic knee injury cost him more than a year. He was healthy enough to be active last year, but the Vikings were hesitant to go away from hot-hand Case Keenum.

I agree but I know he will go top 10 based off hype


The eye in the sky don't lie fam. Allen sometimes struggles to make simple 5 yrd passes to wide open receivers while being pressured in the pocket.

OT: NYJ negotiating with Bridgewater (and McCown?) 

Post#803 » by HarthorneWingo » Tue Mar 13, 2018 8:00 pm

Looks like the Jets are in negotiations with Bridgewater. They would also like to sign McCown to be his backup and mentor, which is a good idea. Don't know much about Bridgewater or the nature of the impact his injury will have on him going forward.

Thoughts?

Only like the Bridgewater signing if we're taking a QB at 6. Eww @ McCown being his "mentor." I mean, I guess he can mentor him but he'd also have to mentor the guy at 6. We don't really need McCown with Bridgewater, tho.

I don't see us picking a QB at 6 now. We need help at too many other positions.

Jets are dumb if they don’t go QB at 6. That if the QB is worthy. I like Teddy and him and Case is just the reality of the NFL. All about what have you done for me lately or I’d there someone better than you.

However Jets with all this money have to show a pulse like come on.

problem when you have a front office/coach on the hot seat. They probably wont survive a 4-12- 5-11 year...they tend to make win now moves. I don't think drafting a rookie qb changes things fast enough to keep there job security...probably not best for the long term for the jets but its always an issue when you don't have a long term commitment with front office and coach.

Good pick up for Jets if they do sign Bridgewater. Hopefully he has fully recovered from his injury because is a talented QB.

FWIW a lot of people say McCown is really good at breaking down film and Manziel ( I know a terrible source but still...) recently said he had no idea how to look at film until McCown came to Cleveland and showed him what to look for and what to actually study. I'm guessing whatever QB is being picked this year will be 3rd string until we're out of the playoff hunt and then will get their shot year 2. Makes me think they're willing to stand pat at 6 and take a shot on one of the "project" guys like Allen or Jackson instead of the big trio up top.

Also I know people will get pissed if we pass up on a QB at 6 but Teddy, pre-injury, showed signs of being more than just a game manager. Maybe they believe in Teddy more than anyone they think they'll get at 6? Can't blame them either.... He's got impressive tape.

bingo everyone trying to keep there jobs and owners not allowing them to build the right way. Now I can't say I know enough about woody johnson and him letting his football guys do football stuff...but Dolan is always looming over the knicks it why we never pick a young up and coming front office guy to pair with a young up and coming coach and build the right way.

The Knicks and Jets are nothing alike besides having some painful loses in their history books (The Jets may lead the Knicks in that department). The problem with the Jets is that for some reason they can't seem to find a franchise QB. They have had talented teams in the past, Top 3 defenses. But only a game manager at QB to show for it. That won't get it done in the NFL. You need a franchise QB

And teams normally don't "rebuild" in the NFL like the NBA do. There's a reason why the draft has 7 rounds. You can turn your franchise around rather quickly if you draft well.

McCown is done. This shouldn't stop them for drafting a QB in my opinion. Teddy is likely the starter next year. Hack and Petty are outta here though.

they were hot after cousins and now turn to plan B signing two qb's...sounds like you are right they have no interest drafting a young QB at least not with an early pick.

Mark Teddy off then, he's not coming here to backup McCown. But all signs are that we're gonna draft a QB anyway. So all is good.

It's gonna be both. No all isn't good because a 3rd string QB doesn't get reps in practice and won't play next year.
