There goes another 2021 draft domino. NFL Network reported Wednesday that the Denver Broncos pulled off a trade with the Carolina Panthers to acquire Teddy Bridgewater, putting the one-time New Orleans Saints quarterback on the move yet again. Bridgewater was traded once before, moving to the Saints from the New York Jets — to make room for Sam Darnold, who is replacing him in Carolina, ironically.
Initially picked in the first round of the 2014 draft by the Minnesota Vikings, a catastrophic knee injury imperiled Bridgewater’s NFL future until a strong preseason with the Jets led to him being traded to New Orleans.
