BillyBalata Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Broncos acquired QB Teddy Bridgewater from the Panthers in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 As part of the trade, Carolina agreed to take on $7 million of Bridgewater's $10 million in guarantees for 2021. That makes the deal low-risk for the Broncos but it remains minimal in upside. Adam Schefter added that this move doesn't take Denver out of the QB conversation with the No. 9 pick in the draft. Acquiring two quarterbacks in as many days would be surprising but the lack of investment in Bridgewater leaves a first-round passer on the table for the Broncos.

Denver is hardly paying him anything, just $3M (CAR is paying him $7M) and that's the end of his contract from what I can tell. Breer breaks it down in the tweet linked below. Not sure I follow the part about Teddy keeping $1.5M un-guaranteed, or what happened to the final year of the contract. Seems like the contract was redone, then he was traded. https://twitter.com/AlbertBreer/status/1387477526700863494 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are we'll have a new coaching staff next year and that coach will want his qb. I'm not sure what this move means other than they don't like Lock. But if a QB (Fields) falls to them ........

How does adding another veteran QB to your team ENSURE you are drafting a QB. Maybe the point is to use him (and Lock) now and get a QB in 2022. It might signal a trade of Lock, but I don't see much value there. Of course a 6th round pick isn't worth much, but this was about salary cap issues for the Panthers (more 2022 than 2021) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater or Lock, what's the difference? Neither are winning anything anytime soon. But if a QB falls to them at least they'll have a mentor of sorts.

Yes it could mean various things, yet your post was that it ENSURES THEY'RE DRAFTING A QB, which is BS and you just admitted it. Thanks for playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Bridgewater... bridge the gap if needed? If the guy you like falls in the draft, take him and then you have 3 QBs and hope you find one amongst them.

purplemonster Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yeah I though Bridgewater would be better than he has been. I am confused slightly, so is it only 3M total that Denver is paying? 3 million + a 6th round pick is nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them should be there when they pick. Perhaps they even try to move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but It's not their fault that Elway couldn't get a QB. How are you supposed to win with scrub QBs every year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could just figure out the QB situation they'd be really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
