Former Vikings starting Q-B Teddy Bridgewater will be Drew Brees backup quarterback this season. The Saints traded a third round pick to the Jets and got Bridgewater and a sixth round pick in return. Bridgewater signed a one-year contract with New York in the offseason. He’s only played in one game in the last two seasons because of a horrific knee injury.
