Guy who has always gotten a bum rap, starting with the draft. Waiting Brees out, collecting $4-$5mm a year, and then taking over as the Saints QB would be the shark move for him. I root for this guy, still think he can have a quality career as an NFL starter. Hope it works out for him.

Lol 30 mil per for Bridgewater.

Tannehill getting 30 is better? Again, the franchise tag/QB market is what it is.

I’m not even saying he won’t get it. Just that any team paying him that is going to a loser.

When is the last time Teddy lost a game?fruity pebbles said:
Its Kirk Cousins money and it just keeps getting more ridiculous as we go but teams are willing to commit a large percentage of their cap space to the QB position, so thats the price.

Just seems so Bucs to pay Teddy $30M a year when they could draft a guy like Love with the 14th pick and pay about $15M over the course of a 4 year contract.

I love the conversation on Brady Watch 2020 here in Boston. In particular, what the media thinks NE will be able to pay someone other than Brady. Some of the experts and analysts here are confident NE would be able to pick up Bridgewater for $5-6 million a season. I chuckled. He played last year for $7.25M to be a clear back up. I also find it odd that some folks are suggesting Bridgewater could get $30 million a year. That's also funny in its own right, but I don't see how folks can say he is a legit option for the Pats for only $5 million a year.

Bridgwater getting 30 million is the narrative right now. Tannehill too.

He should see something in the Foles range I'd guess ($18-24MM) - is he truly worth that? I don't know but QBs get paid.

I don't know what his market value is or what he will sign for, but I was listening to an ongoing conversation on the radio on what NE would do post-Brady (if it came to that). The talking heads felt very confident that the Pats could sign Teddy for 2 years at $5 million a year. Then they went on to start rebuilding the team using that number . . . which I found silly. I don't see Bridgewater signing for anywhere near that. He probably won't get $30 million a year, but whatever he gets should be WAY north of $5 million a year.

It is silly.
It's going to be weird without Brady. Maybe the guys your listening to are in a state of shock?
Brady took a discount for the team. Doesnt mean a free agent or Brady are willing to do that for the team right now. I can see why they might have that expectation though.

Still not convinced Brady is moving on. That’s not me wishing as a homer. I think they might be better off without him (although that would depend on his contract).
The group think has Brady not really wanting to make wholesale changes and Kraft writing him a blank check. We’ll see.
As far as the guys discussing TB12’s replacement, whomever they mentioned as a potential starter they said could be had for $4-8 million, even if that player was acquired by trade and had a much larger contract. Dumb.

As far as what Teddy will get from some team is similar to what Doc Oc said. He shouldn't really get more than Foles did last year.
The 30 million is where his agent will start and then see who makes the richest offer.
The Patriots haven't had to think about this for a long time.Its unfamiliar perhaps.
As a Vikings fan this has been the first time they have had the same QB for more than a season in awhile.

You get athleticism. You get upside. You get a cheap contract.
I'm not saying you never sign a veteran QB, but if you're paying a QB $30M a year he needs to be the reason you win. I wouldn't pay any of these veteran QB's, other than Brees/Brady who aren't going anywhere, that kind of money when you can get similar production from a player in the draft, and you might hit a Mahomes-esque home run.
Bridgewater and Tannehill are trying to cash in on a small sample size similar to Nick Foles and Matt Flynn. It will be a disaster.
They need to start blackballing QB contracts like with RBs. Obviously QBs are more important and it's harder to find a good or franchise one, but the contracts are way out of whack and prevent teams from actually winning and building a championship team.
If I were running a team today, I would go with the game manager approach and let Trent Dilfer and Joe Flacco "lead" me to a title.

Hopefully by then I'm living in South America surrounded by my several 20-something year old girlfriends and won't care anymore...

He seems like a perfect fit for that team

He’s accurate so should let Moore use his RAC ability

Thinking the same thing - Moore just needs to get the ball into his hands. Teddy will be able to do that a lot more than Cam could.
