Jets Free Agency: Initial grade and analysis of Teddy Bridgewater

Two quarterbacks are better than one right? At least the New York Jets hope that optimistic spin on the classic proverb will prove true as the team went ahead and signed both Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater to one-year deals following their failure to recruit Kirk Cousins.

Bridgewater is no doubt an intriguing option. At just 25-years old, the former Vikings signal-caller showed flashes of a franchise player before suffering a devastating knee injury that essentially cost him two years of his career.

Before tearing his ACL and dislocating his knee joint, Bridgewater played the part of a competent, accurate quarterback who possessed incredible leadership skills and displayed potential of being even more.
