    I’m all for it.. bring back joshy josh and take a QB.. talking head on CMB is saying Giants don’t like these QB’s so maybe we can get one!!

    But whoever we get, I hope he’s a real QB.. not one of these game manager need everything right type of guys

    I feel pretty indifferent toward this signing. There's a lot of questions to be raised about his health and the fact that by the time the season starts it'll be 2+ years before he's taken meaningful snaps.

    He's a better option than McCown for the simple fact that he's over 10 years younger, so if he plays well, he could still be our long-term QB or great trade value if whoever we draft ends up being the guy.

    He'll have made a career total of $130 million in three years, and will be a 32-year-old free agent. Imagine if he plays well in the next three years - he might just be going to be the quarter-billion dollar man.

    Count me a fan of this move. If Bridgewater isn't the same as he used to be, no harm done. We can still draft a QB and even trade up for one. But if he can somehow live up to his potential we can get a young franchise QB on the cheap.

    I haven't seen anything saying he has signed....I've seen it stated working on a deal. The McCown deal was posted immediately after they said they were working on it.

    So the Jets signed McCown already before a deal with Teddy is done. I really hope they still intend to draft a guy, but will they keep 4 QBs on the roster? I guess it's possible, or that Hack gets the boot.

    I like a Bridgewater signing because:

    1.He has the potential to be the long term answer.
    2. Signing him does not prevent us from drafting a QB if the FO thinks there is value at 6 or in round 2..
    3. He should not require a long term commitment or Cousins like salary.
    4. We can still resign McCown but they might put that decision off until after the draft. Edit: Seeing a post that we have already resigned McCown. If true even better. I just hope both deals are reasonable.
    5. He fits our system.

    I am happier with a Bridgewater signing over Cousins as he has greater upside and gives us a lot more flexibility in cap and in drafting a young QB.

    Interesting move if they’ve get Teddy too. I wouldn’t be upset to grab a DE orOL with the 6th pick but trade their 6th pick the get another 2nd or 3rd round pick.

    weird to get bridgewater and josh - assuming we get bridgewater - no issue with the signing - i think we will still draft a QB at #6

    The Jets are taking a QB of the future in round 1. How does McCown + Bridgewater change any of that? Bridgewater has no nfl future he showed no flashes of being anything other than a highly coddled game manager with a dumbled down playbook dinking and dunking all day. You think ANY team ever projected him as a qb of the future?

    Until I see it official, I get the feeling that the McCown signing will screw up the Bridgewater signing. Just a gut feeling.

    if the mccown/bwater combo does come to fruition, the jets will lose some leverage in any trades involving their pick 6 cause every other team knows they HAVE to draft a QB this year.

    Tell me this isn't an SOJ situation with Bridgewater and this NONSENSE of McCown being the starter.

    Get Teddy inked up quit delaying!!!

    0 potential. 20 wonderlic and 50 something qb rating his first few years. Weak arm. Checkdowns and little else
