Since Teddy Bridgewater’s career ended with the Minnesota Vikings in 2016-2017, the Louisville alumnus has inadvertently transformed into a young journeyman.
He was supposed to be the Vikings franchise signal-caller for a decade. But after his ghastly 2016 injury, Bridgewater has done the “bounce around” thing to the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Carolina Panthers.
Now, the 28-year-old is heading to Denver — presumably for a QB1 summer battle with the incumbent Drew Lock. Bridgewater was traded westward by the Carolina Panthers for a 6th-Round draft pick on Friday.
As it is draft season, several bright minds have forecasted that the Broncos will seize on a quarterback like Justin Fields or Trey Lance — if one/both of those gents fall to the #9 hole.
