I'd always say trading Teddy is a right call. But that depends on compensation. If the likes of Sam Bradford can command 1st + @, Teddy trade had better result in something more than just that. [Teddy is very young after all, with maturity and leadership quality to boot.] So if the trade results in 1st + 3rd, I'd definitely say it is a right call. No matter how well Teddy does after his departure.
To be fair this isn't something I've really considered. I find it hard to imagine a scenario where we would receive more than one 2nd round pick at best for Teddy. Perhaps if we hold onto him until week 10+ and say Bortles or Big Ben go on season ending IR, and those teams have no more than 2 losses, and seem SB bound, AND Teddy has finished out preseason with a flourish or has been the starter looking amazing. In this scenario I could see a 1st but even then IDK if it would be a 1st+ additional. This is where I take issue with dealing him, because if he's dealt early then I would say the best we could hope for would be a single 2nd and that's just not worth the potential that Teddy can offer an organization regardless the situation.
What history? The dude hasn’t proven shit? He has 28 Td and 21 Int in his two healthy years. And now people think he’s an MVP because he had two good preseason games. It’s embarrassing.
All I’m saying is We have not had a legit FQB since Chad And even at his best he was a B+ player Don’t be so hasty to trade Teddy. Worst case we get a compensatory pick and a good human, good player and good insurance policy Win now Always win now. In Mr Miagi voice I say “always good win now” The future is uncertain. If losing big today means winning big tomorrow, then explain to me why the browns suck year after year?
Given all of their cap room and their many needs, it is very unlikely that the Jets will get a compensatory pick for Bridgewater, as they will be signing free agents themselves.
