The most logical team fit for New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has emerged: the Chicago Bears. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Monday that the Bears were in negotiations with Bridgewater on a potential free agent contract that would usurp Mitchell Trubisky as the starting quarterback in Chicago. An offense loaded with pass-catching talent like Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, and Tarik Cohen could really use an upgrade under center.
Florio also suggested an average salary in the neighborhood of $21 million per year for Bridgewater, which would easily recoup the third-round draft pick the Saints swapped for him back in 2018 (if they qualify for a compensatory pick in next year’s draft).
