Teddy Bridgewater is getting his shot to be a starting NFL quarterback again.
The former New Orleans Saints signal-caller reached an agreement with the NFC South-rival Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. The contract is expected to be for three years and $60 million, according to multiple reports.
The move follows the Panthers’ announcement earlier Tuesday that they would allow incumbent starter Cam Newton to seek a trade. Newton pushed back against the team, saying on Instagram that the team had tried to “manipulate the narrative” and contending that he had “never asked” to be moved.
