I can't see Teddy staying there when he's a free agent after this season, and New Orleans certainly can't afford to franchise him until Brees retires. Yeah that destination makes no sense. Have to believe they're going to flip him to some team like Tampa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints must be looking to move him mid-season, and get a 1st or multiple 2nds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy's already proven he can play in this league, I don't think he has any intention of sitting behind Brees for two seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value will be higher if/when a starting QB for a contender goes down. My question is why the Jets didn't see fit to hold onto him until then. It might have to do with wanting to make straight the paths for Darnold. Just now, WildCard said: I mean it is the Jets we're talking about here Well, wait a second. Their signing of Bridgewater looks super shrewd at this point. Spend a few bucks, get a 3rd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably feel like they've got a few different paths available to them -- and maybe much depends on what Brees is doing, in terms of health and contract demands.

Just looked it up: the Saints have a cap-free out of Brees' contract...after next season. If they cut him after this year, they'll have $21 million in dead cap. Wonder if they hope to sign Teddy to a 1-year deal and then take over for Brees in 2020? That's the only thing that makes sense to me, but man is it loaded with risk.

JJFIVEOH Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Does anybody know where I can see the Bills game online? I know it's impossible to do legally during the regular season, but surely pre-season shouldn't be an issue, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any game, no matter how big or small, can be found on reddit; I watched the entire playoffs on there.

Yeah, I'm not looking to dig, and then have to hook the laptop up to the TV, etc....... I was just hoping to add an app to Roku or PS4. It looks like Game Pass offers full, live pre-season games. https://gamepass.nfl.com/packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference. If there weren't, Game Pass would also offer full length, live, regular season games. Alas, they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, the NFL doesn't have to make it free just to get your attention. They already have your attention. They're well passed the point of needing to bring in fans, now they can just milk us for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 My point has been overlooked. Revenue generator or not, it's irrelevant to my question. And if it wasn't an issue, then regular season games would be readily available online. Don't question me, question the NFL. It seems as though they seem to think there's a difference.

For some reason I thought it was aired nationally up this way, turned out I was wrong. Kinda planned the whole night around it, got a 2.5 pound pork tenderloin to rub and grill........... was gonna pig out and sit back to watch the game.
