The New Orleans Saints are expected to reach an agreement with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, per Jane Slater of NFL Network. Slater reports that Bridgewater spurned a bigger offer from the Miami Dolphins, his hometown team, to remain in New Orleans in hopes of taking the wheel from Drew Brees down the road. She also credits Bridgewater’s connections in the locker room and the culture he helped create with the Saints over the last year as a big factor in getting him to stay.
