I keep seeing this take but I don't think it's a great one. Why would you not capitalize on the asset you have when you're guaranteed to capitalize on it?
This is the NFL. Some QB will get hurt and a team will be desperate. Why trade him so soon when he’d be worth so much more later? *scratch head*
Because when a team that is a playoff caliber team is desperate, they will pay more. Look at Bradford going to the Vikings a few years ago.
So you'd rather bank on a QB going down on a team that is headed to the playoffs? No thanks. I'll take the third we got and run.
I think he might've been able to get more, but as Harpua said, they have to get down to 53 and he would be taking up a roster spot. Still, I would've waited because I really think he could've brought at least a 2nd.
If Hundley got a 6th then Teddy could have easily gone for a 4th. Luckily the Saints needed a backup and in a year or two, potentially a starter. 3rd is GREAT value for a guy that hasn't played in 2 years and you signed for a mil.
If some of the players feel that Bridgewater is the better chance for them to win but the GM and Coach want to play Sam it’ll cause a rift between the players. How is that concept hard to grasp?
