Could Denver be a trade partner for Bridgewater?

[TonyFtLaud]

Reports are Denver may be looking to add a veteran QB. After the first preseason game. They better.
Could see Shane Ray and a late round pick for Teddy or a second round pick.
Ray has had off field issues and another wrist injury so his value is down.

Wow that makes so much sense. Lynch appears to be a bust and was moved to third string. Their starter didn’t look to hot in their game as well. Ray and a second rounder sounds good to me. Funny part is Bridgewater can go there and become the starter in about two weeks and be very effective to them.

Don't think we would get Ray and a second round pick unless Case Keenum gets hurt, but Ray and a sixth could be possible. For the record, I'd say Teddy would pass Keenum on the depth chart but with Vance Joseph as HC. You never know....

I think a deal with Denver is a very real possibility and Teddy's stock went way up at the conclusions of the Redskin game.

Maccagnan is probably getting calls from QB needy teams who are trying to gauge what it’s gonna take to pry Bridgewater away. Probably a bunch of low ball offers like 4th and 5th round pick. Don’t take anything less than a 3rd.

It better be for a couple of thirds What if he starts,plays well, leads the Jets to a 9-7 record.Miss/make playoffs.
Off season, tag Bridgewater with a 1st round tender. The Jets will have the cap space and be in the drivers seat for trading.

Id love to play him this year and I like the scenario but...

Don't think it works though
Can't tag him at the end ...he's only on a one year contract , no ??

i guess you can but then he has to be compensated as a top 5 QB salary , correct?

Tenders are for RFAs.
The Jets could apply the Non Exclusive tag which would allow Teddy to negotiate with other teams. If signed, that team would have to surrender 2 first round picks to the Jets.

Correct, just over 23 million for the season. That # likely climbs a little next off-season factoring in Cousins and Rodgers potential deal.
