Don't remember where I read it, but I read Bridgewater wants $30+ ?

It was on twitter... he more likely to get between 22-25 million. Bears might be top player in going after him or the Panthers.

I wouldn't. But I'm not a GM. Signing Bridgewater $30 million isn't the worst mistake any GM could make.

Ok, how about this, ANY free agent signed by the Washington Redskins? They give Bridgewater $40 million its not near as bad as Albert Hansworth's signing

I’d definitely take Carr as for teddy.... Vikings had a hell of a defense and teddy didn’t have to do much then on to the Saints one of the most talented well coached teams in the league again teddy was a solid game manager until drew returned. He’s never been asked to light it up offensively

I want a Bugatti. It's nice to want things. I think he might be able to get $25 million per year, maybe all guaranteed if the contract is short enough. I think that's a better risk than drafting a QB or rolling with Briskett, and it allows the front office to spend the entire draft capital on improving the roster overall.

Replace Ebron on a short contract?

Carrs' Cap Hits:
2020: $18.9 million
2021: $19.52 million
2022: $19.77 million
2023: Free Agent

It depends on how much competition there is to get him. Competition with other teams to acquire him could raise the cost (in draft pick compensation)
