Creepy Lurker Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Well I just came back to a nice surprise. 3rd rd pick is nice compensation and may help us in the trade market if we do go that route. I will be rooting for Teddy and think he ended up in a great place. If Brees still plays next year, I hope Teddy doesn’t leave the Saints but they are a cap disaster and I can’t see him staying there unless he knows he is the heir to Brees. NICE JOB MAC.

chrisfaceoff Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 This is excellent news. We knew Teddy wouldn't stick around, but still sucks to see him go. He is a very likable player, and a very easy person to root for on his comeback trail. But more importantly he seems like a better individual. I'll be rooting for Teddy every chance I get once its his time to shine, as long as he isn't playing the green and white. This is one of the few times I don't feel like a trade "robbed a team blind" on either side. Very fair deal for both sides. Also the fact he is out of the AFC is even better, because this guy was a stud before he went down, and is slowly getting back to his pre-injury form. I commend mac on this trade. Great ammo for the draft next year, or as we look for OL or Pass Rush help. Lets go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Straw Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I think that Todd Bowles is terrified of losing his job and told Maccagnan that he was starting Bridgewater week 1. Maccagnan, not having control over who plays, probably said "lol ok, Todd" and traded Bridgewater. Wouldn't surprise me to see McCown week 1.

Nice Cheaper than what Cleveland paid for a second last year (what was it, 16 mil?). Plus, it gave Sam a chance to learn something from Bridgewater too, not just McCown and his hair.

Creepy Lurker Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 8 minutes ago, Jetlag said: This was brilliant by both teams. Someone on reddit wrote this "Yeah, but as the replies are pointing out the Jets have a ton of money so they'll be picking up a fair number of free agents meaning they likely wouldn't get the comp pick. So they trade Bridgewater for a pick they probably wouldn't get, and the Saints traded the pick knowing that they might get a comp pick next year for him if he doesn't stick around." So the Saints basically got an excellent backup QB for the 2018 Season and traded back a few spots in the third if they don't end up signing TB long term. @bostonmajet @nycdan WTF. It’s like this all happened because of the earlier conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked good but, let's face it, he remains a significant injury risk. Good deal for both teams. Good for Teddy if Brees retires any time soon.

rldev Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 22 minutes ago, BCJet said: We essentially hedged our QB situation with a good young player, and then took that hedge off for a big profit (3rd round pick for $500K). Pretty much no way you can rip this move. Many will. If one thing you can count on with Mac, he knows how to make trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTJetsFan Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm one of those who didn't think the Jets needed to trade Teddy this early and should have waited to see if a team had a major injury @ QB. That being said, I can't knock Macc for this deal and how it played out. Sam is the future and now all assets need to be spent on building around him.

Saints either get a long-term replacement for Brees, or they get (potentially) a third round comp pick back in 2019 for Brees insurance in what they hope is a championship season. 25 minutes ago, Beerfish said: Omar will be crushed.

If we had him and did not draft Sampeople here would be wanting to sign him to an extension already Winning qb? He had one playoff appearance and got eliminated the first game a career scrub Keenum took the same team almost to the Super Bowl.

I agree it’s not “Genius” but it’s at least acceptable for trading him early considering he’s only a 1 year rental wherever he goes. Earlier on I was speculating that they may move him early if roster spots are truly and issue and if we keep 5 safeties or go deep at RB/TE, that final spot will become a problem.

If Darnold struggles, the last thing we need is guys like you calling for Bridgewater. 3. If you wait and nobody gets hurt that is a legit contender and you risk the 3rd rounder.
