The Saints may have just found their quarterback of the future.
Drew Brees seems ageless at times, but he can’t stay under center for the New Orleans Saints forever. Many have often wondered who will end up taking his place for the Black and Gold once it is time to hang up the cleats, but that question may have finally been answered. With just one game remaining in the 2018 NFL preseason, the Saints have acquired Teddy Bridgewater in a trade with the New York Jets.
On Wednesday afternoon, news broke from the official website of NFL that the Saints are getting another quarterback to add to the back-up mix. The Saints already were testing the waters with Taysom Hill, J.T. Barrett, and Tom Savage, but no-one was really standing out thus far.
As for the New York Jets? Bridgewater was seen as a possible starter before the preseason began, but it now appears as the team had other plans. ESPN is reporting that Sam Darnold will end up being the starter for week one with veteran Josh McCown likely taking the reserve spot behind him.
Even though Bridgewater hasn’t played with many of the starters, he has still played really well during the preseason. He has completed 74 percent of his passes and built up a passer rating of 104.7 to show that his hurt knee is no longer an issue.
More coming on this breaking story.
