3 teams that would be dumb to not trade for Josh Rosen
By Mike Luciano
There has never been a quarterback who just signed an expensive three-year contract with less certainty around his role as the starter than Teddy Bridgewater.
While Bridgewater is signed until 2023 in Carolina, Matt Rhule’s first NFL team will likely be bad this year, and a high draft pick could entice Rhule to ditch Bridgewater and select a new franchise guy. That confluence of circumstances means that Carolina’s quarterback room is far from solidified at this point.
Beyond the concerns about how Bridgewater will play in first-year coordinator, Joe Brady’s offense, Bridgewater is famously a bit of an injury risk, and a quarterback depth chart currently filled out by third-round disappointment Will Grier and XFL star PJ Walker shouldn’t give the Rams a ton of confidence.
Giving Rosen his eighth offensive coordinator since 2015 might not be an ideal situation, but it could give the Panthers an ideal backup for Bridgewater.
