METAIRIE, La. -- Let's start with the positive: It's hard not to like the idea of Teddy Bridgewater as Drew Brees' eventual successor.
Bridgewater is still just 25, and his comeback from a brutal knee injury so far this summer has been as impressive/inspiring as the two years he spent as the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback from 2014-15.
So if this turns out to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, then we might never care how much the New Orleans Saints paid to get Bridgewater.
But I'll admit, I was pretty stunned to see the Saints send a third-round draft pick to the New York Jets on Wednesday in exchange for a sixth-round pick and just a one-year rental of Bridgewater, who is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in March.
