The quarterback carousel has broken down

[Mr. Scot]

For the moment at least, per Rapoport...

Pretty interesting clip, especially the part that mentions teams calling about Bridgewater.

[TLGPanthersFan]

 No surprise no one wants Bridgewater. They saw what we saw last season. What a terrible signing.

Well the clip does say that people were calling us about Bridgewater, but same as with everybody else, nothing's happening right now.

Does make me wonder what we'd try to get out of it.

[Waldo]

Great news. Gives our new GM more time before being able to pull that huge trigger.

[CarolinaSunday]

I wonder if it's just slowed as the front offices dig into the draft prospects and really start considering whether they would be better if with a draftee or with a free agent/trade prospect.

Also, if the Watson situation is resolved one way or the other, we'll also probably see more movement in other directions for any team losing out on that. Watson's the lead domino and teams are just waiting for it to fall.

 

[CRA]

makes sense.  You gotta think the Texans are going to want to hold off as long as possible and try to work something out.  

If they can't get him to budge then I think draft is where Watson would get moved if it happens.

That plus everybody waiting to see what everybody else is gonna do.

Darnold was expected to be the next domino, but the Jets are taking their sweet time deciding what to do with him.

I'd say that's a smart decision on their part, honestly.

(not something you hear said about the Jets all that much)

If anyone is calling offering literally anything for Teddy, his ass should be GONE.

They could just be calling to ask questions rather than making an actual offer, though I vaguely remember somebody mentioning they thought we'd received an offer.

Might have been Verge but I don't remember.

If the speculation is true and we’re holding onto him as a potential part of the Watson trade, that’s probably worth the 9th or 10th round pick we might get in a trade for Bridgewater...

To be honest, I would think talking all his cap hit/dead money would be enough for us.  At least I would be ok with that.  

[Khyber53]

If a team had a good offensive line and a strong defense, Teddy can work for them. We had neither of those last season and he just couldn't operate outside of that window.

He could also be a prime prospect for someone like Jacksonville to take as a warm-up act and bench coach for their QB. That's what I thought we would be doing with him here and we still could be looking at that possibility.

A good part of the problem we had with Teddy last season was Teddy, but it wasn't the entire problem. Our o-line was taken from the cast of Little Giants and our defense was Swiss cheese in cleats. We had receivers like no other team and a fairly okay running game, but no TE work and an offensive coordinator who literally could not watch the entire field. And don't get me started on not having CMC for most of the year -- that alone probably cost us four or more games.

We yeah of course but they also might want to see if he's able to be part of a bigger trade for a player or draft move.

I could see that.

And yeah, I had the same thought about us.
