Kind of surprised by this but fine.
How soon does he feel that Brees is going to retire? Teddy has not started a game in what 3 seasons?
Go get that money and starting gig with the hometown team. This is what the Dolphins should've done last year.
He started the Saints week 17 game last season versus Carolina.
If your backup isn't making decent money, he probably isn't a good one. That's not to say all well-paid backups are good.As a Panthers fan I don't mind the Saints spending that kind of money on a guy they hope doesn't play any significant amount of time. I understand wanting a good backup but still a pretty weird signing all things considered.
It's difficult to say whether Teddy is a good backup now though. In his one game he played after blowing out his knee, he didn't look so hot. Granted, Saints weren't really playing for anything and benched some starters but he's still largely unproven since his injury. In theory he's a good backup.If your backup isn't making decent money, he probably isn't a good one. That's not to say all well-paid backups are good.
I mean, only they truly know. They preferred him over Tannehill or Bortles having just been released or even Ryan Fitzpatrick who is a guy who is proven who can come in off the bench and hold the line for a few games.It's difficult to say whether Teddy is a good backup now though.
