At Least Two Teams Have Expressed Interest In Trading For Teddy Bridgewater

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that at least two teams have expressed interest in trading for Jets QB Teddy Bridgewater and several others have been in contact about a potential deal.

According to Mehta, the Jets have had “several” potential trade discussions with interested teams, but there have been no concrete offers made as of Monday afternoon that would lead to them trading Bridgewater.

Sources tell Mehta that the Jets have been “exceedingly pleased” Bridgewater since he arrived in New York and they’re hoping to get a fair offer for him.

Mehta tosses out the Dolphins and Patriots as two intriguing possibilities, but a source has said it’s unlikely they would trade Bridgewater to New England. Another team to watch for Bridgewater, according to Mehta, is the Broncos.

Mehta has previously mentioned that the Jets are open to trading Bridgewater for the right price. Interestingly enough, Mehta says it’s his understanding that the Jets would even consider trading Bridgewater for a fourth-round pick.

Bridgewater worked his way back from a major knee injury last year, but there’s still some question about him his knee moving forward.

Bridgewater, 25, is a former first-round pick of the Vikings back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $6,849,502 rookie contract after Minnesota declined to pick up his fifth-year option.

Bridgewater signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Jets this offseason that includes just $500,000 guaranteed, so it wouldn’t be difficult for New York to move on in the coming months.

In 2017, Bridgewater appeared in one game for the Vikings and was 0-2 passing and threw an interception.
