Teddy Bridgewater rumors: 5 best fits in NFL free agency

4. Denver Broncos

If one team wearing orange doesn’t cut it for the former king of the purple and white, then maybe a squad on the other side of the country could do the trick.

Bridgewater will likely need some solid receivers to target right off the bat wherever he lands to get his bearings under center, and the Browns don’t have a ton to work with in their current offense. If Bridgewater wants some good targets immediately, the Denver Broncos provide an intriguing option.

With Demaryius Thomas leading the charge alongside Emmanuel Sanders, there’s already some set talent in Broncos uniforms already. Add in some potential for a splash in free agency for the Broncos, who are badly in need of offensive help, and this could be the perfect formula to land Bridgewater.

Bridgewater won’t need big money this offseason, as he’ll need to prove himself worthy and capable of bringing a team back to the postseason. The Broncos have a ways to go to get back in the hunt in a competitive AFC West, but signing Bridgewater could be a huge step in the right direction to make them instant contenders in the division.

Plus, with the money they’d save by avoiding a huge, expensive name like Kirk Cousins or Sam Bradford, they can improve on other areas of their offense to make themselves a threat in the AFC again. We’re talking about a team that won the Super Bowl just a few seasons ago, and Bridgewater could potentially help them get back there.
