There will be no “Teddy Bridgewater Day” at MetLife Stadium anytime soon. If and when he returns to East Rutherford, there probably won’t be any video tribute.
Nonetheless, New York Jets fans won’t be quick to forget the modern-day New Orleans Saint.
Bridgewater’s Jets tenure came to an end on Wednesday afternoon, shipped to Louisiana for a third-round draft pick. The Big Easy won’t exactly be a big easy for the 2019 free agent, as he’s expected to be the backup to Drew Brees.
Though there’s a chance Bridgewater could be the long-awaited heir apparent to the future Hall-of-Famer, this season will likely see Bridgewater relegated to the bench once more, forced, through no fault of his own, to watch a strong NFC team contend for the Super Bowl.
