John from Riverside Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Is this a good time to point out that our back up QB is making like $2 million this year 2
ghostwriter Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 I mean, how much will they get honestly? Mitch Trubisky is 10x better than Bridgewater and we signed him for $2.5M. At this point they will probably just have to release him. Who on earth wants to take on that contract? 1 hour ago, John from Riverside said: Is this a good time to point out that our back up QB is making like $2 million this year No kidding, John. 1

My guess is In order to find a trade partner Carolina will have to pay at least half of the $10m and Bridgewater will have to forego most of the $7m that’s not guaranteed. More likely scenario is Carolina doesn’t find any takers and has to eat the $10m. Then Bridgewater signs for $3-4m in Houston where he has chance to start.

The GM was reported saying he was going to get a QB either through FA, Trade or Via the Draft. If he agrees to a pay cut I can see New Orleans trading for him. I’d be hard pressed to see them spend over $30m on a qb room with that being the depth chart. carolina did seem interested in taysom though so maybe that could be part of the send back

Getting off the hook for any is a win for Carolina, as is getting any compensation at all if bridgewater wants to start, every day he can get in his new system is big. if the two sides don’t play nice in getting something done they both lose as Carolina has no incentive to cut him earlier than they need to, as an insurance policy if nothing else... and then Carolina gets stuck with a full hit and bridgewater wastes a season.

Solomon Grundy Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 This might be the out for DangeRuss in Seattle?
Green Lightning Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 So isn't anybody intrigued by having an ex-Panther as our backup QB? Just sayin'.
BornAgainBillsFan Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 His best chance to start this year just might be in Carolina...like right around week 6.
CommonCents Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Dallas should be his number one option. If Dak goes down he can earn a deal elsewhere by throwing to stud WRs.
stinky finger Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 9 hours ago, I am the egg man said: Never seen so many teams spinning the QB spinning wheel as this off-season. Appears teams will keep spinning it right up to opening day. So nice the Bills are not in line waiting for a turn at it. This - and teams are more easily moving on from "failed" QB picks sooner than later. 2 hours ago, Victory Formation said: I mean, how much will they get honestly?

Malazan Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 How many times will Bridgewater be replaced by Darnold in his career? The counter is currently at 2

I thought he had some game with the Vikings until the terrible knee injury. But he is Trent Edwards w a tan. Undefeated as the Saints starter if I recall.
Dablitzkrieg Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 He will be traded on draft day.....Bold prediction
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 So funny to think that as recent as like 2017 we would have been interested in this, and now there's absolutely none.

machine gun kelly Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 I don’t know. Watson at this point with criminal investigations in addition to the civil ones screams of him going on the commissioners exempt list until resolved. Kirwan on MTC was floating the other day Bridgewater to Houston as he would be an upgrade over Tyrod. At this point Tyrod is a career backup. I thought he only received something like $2.5 mil.
