The #Saints have restructured Drew Brees' contract to clear $10.8 million in salary cap space, as they try to lock down backup QB Teddy Bridgewater and host TE Jared Cook on a free-agent visit today. It's a simple restructure. Brees is still due $23M cash in 2019.
TankForTua might dodge a bullet here. We sign Bridgewater, barring injury, you can say goodnight to a top pick. Teddy would be a lot more fun to watch than Bortles this year, though.
I don't get all the Bridgewater love where people seem to think he's so good that he guarantees us at least moderate success. He started two years, and neither were particularly impressive. Tabnehills best year was statistically light years ahead of Bridgewater. Bortles second year was far better too.
With that being said the sample is small and he's still young so I wouldn't mind brining him in.
