Yahoo Sports: Texans don't want Teddy Bridgewater, complicating any potential Deshaun Watson trade

[unicar15]

Three team deal:

Panthers get: Deshaun Watson

Texans get: #8, # 39, 2022 1st, 2022 2nd, 2023 1st Jimmy G

Niners get: Teddy Bridgewater 

So...the Niners get TB for literally nothing. A guy they apparently have interest in acquiring. They get rid of Jimmy G (and his contract) in the process. 

The Texans get a massive draft haul (three 1st round picks, multiple 2nd round picks) AND a QB who is definitely good enough to get them through until they find a replacement. Maybe they draft the future at #8 and put him on the bench behind JG for a year. 

Panthers get Watson AND get to keep some of their established players to make a run immediately. 
 

win/win/win.

The 49ers do not want to replace Jimmy G with Teddy. They want a guy like Teddy because Jimmy G is injury prone. Why on earth would they want to downgrade their QB??

How do you know they see him as a downgrade in their system? Even so...he’s an identical cap hit to JG this year and there is an out in 2022. It’s basically letting them wipe the slate clean after 2021 instead of paying JG thru 2022. If they want a 3rd round pick to make it feel even and it gets us DW then throw it in...who cares.

i think they trade watson to Texas Roadhouse Grill for some tasty steaks and one of those onion things, and he stays there for 350 years to work off his contract

Yeah, but that situation never made sense.  They cannot afford to pay both Teddy and Jimmy G.  Thats a lot of money tied up in 2 mediocre QB's.

With all the “Panthers will pay any price” crap if I am Houston I want:

Next 3 first rounders, next two second rounders, Burns and Chinn.  

I mean its a blank check right?

Signing Teddy was one of the worst decisions this team has made in a long time

Exactly. I never bought the statement that they would bring in Bridgewater as a backup. They'd have 40+ million tied up in two mediocre qbs when they have more pressing needs like trying to resign Trent Williams. I think they view Garoppolo the way we view Bridgewater: not good enough and not worth the price tag but until they get an alternative on the roster it'll be a bit tough to move on right away. They figure they may as well explore buying low on Teddy, seeing if Shanahan can make something out of him and save some money in the process by jettisoning Garoppolo. But until they're fully ready to get rid of Garoppolo, they have to publicly pretend he's still their qb and they're just looking for backup options.

Let's pretend for a second that common sense is at play here- We have to trade multiple picks and/or players to move up to number 3. Houston wants more than the #3 pick. But we already traded away our goods. Wat do?

Throw in a round of drinks and we have a deal

We know the Patriots are looking for a QB, and a minor rumor they may be interested in Teddy. 

We know the Patriots have interest in Jimmy G.

Rumor is the 49ers called about Teddy. Maybe they view him as a system fit without the injuries of Jimmy G.

Looking at the round Robin here, could we see a 3-team deal with Teddy to the 49ers, Jimmy G to the Patriots, pick/player from Patriots to Carolina?  Maybe the 49ers think they can get Teddy for a 5th, then trade Jimmy to Patriots for a 3rd?  The Patriots wanted Teddy last offseason, maybe he is their backup plan to Jimmy G?  

Just so many unknowns at this point, but I can say that this offseason has provided more talking points than normal. Thats made it more fun, because I hate dead periods of football talk.
