Teddy must have a great agent or he has Mark Ingram's agent.

Honestly, good for Teddy. He deserves it after coming back from the horrific injury and on top of that he turned down a starting gig in Miami to stay as our backup this past season.

Didn’t garrapolo get similar money after winning only a handful of games?

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if a desperate team overpaid for Teddy.

 

[Saint Greg]

For him I hope he gets it. I wouldn't want to be the team paying it though.

He did what he had to this last season to get his payday. Hope he gets it and glad it won't be from us.

Really like Teddy and so Happy he is/ was on our team.. Yes, we were undefeated when he started, but our O amd coaching were fantastic during that stretch. He seems like a great guy and should definitely be starting somewhere next year. However, if you pay him $30M/year, I don’t see that team going very far.

I can see a desperate team with a lot of Cap space doleing out that contract. Remember last August it seemed almost unfathomable that Dak would get what he wanted 40 mil a year. Now he will be close to that number when he gets a new Contract be it from Dallas or elsewhere.

Don't get me wrong...I love Teddy but...

Ask for $30, agree for $26. More and more losing Teddy is becoming a reality. A decent QB in today's mkt will get at least mid-20s so I'm not surprised...everybody happy except Saints fans.

Why would that be considered overpaying?

Dolphins, Colts, Bucs can all give him 1 year 30 mil and barely put a dent in their cap

It's the market but I'm not sure who that team is. Jimmy G and Kirk got similar contracts. Even if he miraculously stayed with us, he would be looking at 60-80 mil for 2-3 years. You can't randomly pay QBs, they are the highest paid position on the field.

I don't think he wants to be a bridge QB for a team about to draft a rook.
