Just how much is New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater going to reel in during free agency? ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler fired up that conversation on Monday during an appearance on NFL Live, making the popular observation that Bridgewater expects to enjoy a busy free agent market and consider offers from multiple teams, both as a starter and potential bridge until a rookie is ready to take the reins. None of that is really surprising.
However, Fowler raised eyebrows by suggesting Bridgewater might draw as much as $30 million per year on his next contract. And that seems more than a little outlandish.
