Suddenly, it feels like the Jets are a bad baseball team, Teddy Bridgewater is a stud pitcher and the July 31 trade deadline is upon us.
Bridgewater has proven he can still play quarterback this preseason, which has put the Jets in a very interesting position. Sam Darnold looks ready to start the season on Sept. 10 in Detroit. They already have the veteran backup/mentor in Josh McCown. That leaves Bridgewater, who turns 26 in November, as an interesting trade chip.
But here’s the thing: There is no rush to trade Bridgewater. There is no July 31 or Aug.
