We might steal Bridgewater too.

Ehh, maybe if y'all pay him like $30M/year.

Reason I say that is last year he turned down a starting job (and starting money) in Miami, who went 7-9 in 2018, to stay in New Orleans. So with that background, I'm skeptical he'd leave for a team that went 5-11 with huge question marks at the QB position if he's already turned a 7-9 team that he was guaranteed to be starting.

ESPN: Will Bridgewater find a match? (Triplett)

Quote

But the former first-round draft pick will be extremely picky now that the Saints have proven a good fit. Not only did Bridgewater go 5-0 as a starter, but he is also beloved in the locker room and the community. The feeling is mutual.

“Being back in the South, being in this culture and this city -- a city that’s gone through a lot, and me as a person, I’ve gone through a lot as well -- I feel like my personality, my foundation, it sits well with this city. I’ve been able to mesh well with this team, with this city,” Bridgewater told NOLA.com last week.

It will likely take a special situation to pry him away. That would mean a good team that isn’t poised to draft a quarterback (in other words, not the Cincinnati Bengals).

Going to definitely be an interesting off season...

You are both wrong. We are coming after Taysom Hill.

After we put that 1st round tender on him, be our guest. We'll take that 7th overall pick off y'all hands.

We drafted him hes merely okay as a player, I will still never forgive Mark Engram for causing this.... 

Side note the NFL should do away with salary caps!

He's played well here so I like him. He gets a lot of uncalled for grief among our dumber fans because he isn't Kuechly, but those idiots can pound sand.

I'm confused about the "why would he leave for a team that was 5-11 with huge question marks at qb" 

He'd be the answer to that question 

Possibly, but only if/when Newton is out the door.

If y'all make a big push and sign Bridgewater right as free agency opens and Newton hasn't been dealt yet, potential trade partners that are interested in Newton might sit on their hands until y'all come down on the asking price of what compensation it will take to trade him.

Yeah, I figured Newton would be gone before they started looking for any replacement

Serious question and not a troll, but how in the hell are the Saints planning on bringing back even 2 of the 3 QBs? Like 11-12 million in space, all three need new contracts I think?  Don't fully understand the void years in the contracts, but Brees/Bridgewater already carry cap hits next year (around 20 million I think), while needing new contracts?  I get kicking the can down the road and cap magic seemingly happens every year, but Brees/Bridgewater best case scenario would be a combined 30 million I would think. Doesn't include Taysom Hill in this scenario, and can't imagine Payton is willing to give him up. So Teddy leaves this year, but still best case is 30 million+ in QB's?

He very well may be, but only time will tell.

Nah I wouldn’t have taken it as a troll question at all, you’re good my dude.

It’s certainly a very valid question, but one that no one really knows the answer to except those that are at the negotiating table in the Saints facility.

Loomis has proven time and time again that he can seemingly pull rabbits out of his hat at will. We’ll have to see what kind of magic he can conjure up this go around.

King Cakes are PHENOMENAL. You all must try one in your lifetimes. Also if you can’t make it down to the source, there are plenty places that make them and ship them.
