However, I received a suggestion to post all of the latest rumors in a daily format for those interested in multiple teams. That's what I've done on this new NFL Rumors page. Follow @walterfootball for NFL Rumors Updates.
Baltimore Ravens:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/22: Sammy Watkins will visit the Ravens and Colts. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
They shouldn't pay him much. Watkins has been a disappointment for years, and he couldn't even be consistent when catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. The team that signs him should give him a low-cost, 1-year "prove it" deal.
3/18: The Ravens have reached out to Kenny Golladay's agent. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Golladay would be an enormous upgrade for the Ravens at one of their positions of weakness, but his talents would be almost wasted in Baltimore because the Ravens run more than any team in the NFL. Golladay's stats would take a dive, which could make him reluctant to sign there.
3/2: The Ravens won't pursue a No. 1 receiver in free agency. - Jamison Hensley, ESPN
This isn't a surprise. The Ravens are in the middle of the pack in salary cap, and they have other areas to address. The 2021 NFL Draft class is also strong at wideout, so the Ravens can just obtain a talented player at the position in the first or second round.
Buffalo Bills:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/6: The Bills want to add a tight end in free agency. - Joe Buscaglia, The Athletic
If so, they have plenty of options to choose from. They can sign Hunter Henry, Kyle Rudolph, Jonnu Smith, Gerald Everett, Cameron Brate, and perhaps Zach Ertz eventually.
2/14: The Bills, Browns, Steelers and Titans have expressed interest in J.J. Watt. - Ed Werder, ESPN
All of these teams seem like natural fits for Watt. Perhaps the Titans make the most sense because Watt played for Mike Vrabel several years ago. Here are more NFL teams that could sign Watt.
Carolina Panthers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/17: The Panthers are "locked in" on Deshaun Watson. - Joseph Person, The Athletic
It's apparently owner Axe Tepper's life goal to acquire Deshaun Watson, and the starting point is reportedly three first-round picks. The Texans would be making a huge mistake if they trade Watson for only three first-rounders because the next two opening-round selections will probably be in the 20s.
2/17: The Panthers are prepared to go all in to acquire Deshaun Watson, which means that they're willing to surrender three first-round picks and Christian McCaffrey. - David Newton, ESPN
AND Christian McCaffrey. Wow. This may seem like a lot to some, but Watson is a top-five NFL quarterback in his mid-20s. With so much competition for him, a team may even outbid Carolina.
Chicago Bears:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/17: The Bears offered three first-round picks, a third-round pick and two unnamed starters for Russell Wilson. - Dan Patrick, NBC
It's not nearly enough. The Seahawks wouldn't receive any selections in the top five - or even the top 15 - so Chicago offered more if it really wanted Wilson. Instead, the Bears ended up with Andy Dalton.
3/15: The Bears have checked in on Trent Williams. - Brad Biggs, Chicago Tribune
It would be a nice signing. The Bears have regressed from 2018 because their offensive line hasn't been as good as it was that year. Williams would be a nice short-term fix to turn things around in that regard.
3/5: The Bears have prioritized at making a run at Russell Wilson. - Brad Biggs, Chicago Tribune
The Seahawks would be fools to trade one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. If they do, however, they would need at least four first-round picks as a starting point - remember, none of the Chicago selections will be in the top 10 in all likelihood - and then something on top of that. Moving Wilson for anything less would be an utter failure, and it would condemn the Seahawks to the bottom of the standings for many years.
3/2: Alex Smith could go to the Bears. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
The connection is Matt Nagy, who coached Smith in Kansas City. Smith has shown that he can get a team with a great defense to the playoffs, though Chicago wouldn't go very far in the postseason with the 37-year-old. Still, Smith would be a good signing as a 1-year bridge for whomever the Bears end up drafting in April.
2/25: Russell Wilson will waive his no-trade clause in deals with the Bears, Cowboys, Raiders and Saints. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Wilson's agent noted that they haven't requested a trade, but listed four teams Wilson would like to go. So much for that previous report. At any rate, Wilson's top destination should be New Orleans because of Sean Payton, the great offensive line, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. The worst destination would be Chicago because the Bears have a horrible offensive line, and there's no guarantee Allen Robinson will be retained.
Cincinnati Bengals:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Bengals are interested in signing Trey Hendrickson. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
Cincinnati used to be notorious for never spending in free agency, but things have changed. Hendrickson would be a needed upgrade on the edge for the Bengals.
3/15: A.J. Bouye is visiting the Bengals. - Mike Klis, 9News
The Bengals are likely to lose William Jackson this offseason, so they'll need a replacement if he leaves. Bouye isn't as good as Jackson, but he'd be a fine fill-in in this scenario.
Cleveland Browns:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Browns, Jets and Vikings have expressed interest in Trey Hendrickson. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
All three need an edge rusher, so this all makes sense. Hendrickson is a 26-year-old defensive end with a ton of long-term upside. He'll command a huge contract.
3/3: Kyle Rudolph is interested in signing with the Browns. - Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Rudolph reportedly wants to reunite with Kevin Stefanski. The Browns, however, have lots invested in tight ends, including the overpaid Austin Hooper. It would be foolish for them to also give lots of money to Rudolph.
2/14: The Bills, Browns, Steelers and Titans have expressed interest in J.J. Watt. - Ed Werder, ESPN
All of these teams seem like natural fits for Watt. Perhaps the Titans make the most sense because Watt played for Mike Vrabel several years ago. Here are more NFL teams that could sign Watt.
Dallas Cowboys:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
2/25: Russell Wilson will waive his no-trade clause in deals with the Bears, Cowboys, Raiders and Saints. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Wilson's agent noted that they haven't requested a trade, but listed four teams Wilson would like to go. So much for that previous report. At any rate, Wilson's top destination should be New Orleans because of Sean Payton, the great offensive line, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. The worst destination would be Chicago because the Bears have a horrible offensive line, and there's no guarantee Allen Robinson will be retained.
Denver Broncos:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/18: The Broncos are expected to make a push for Kyle Fuller. - Mike Garofolo, NFL Network
The Bears cut their Pro Bowl cornerback so they could afford Andy Dalton. What a smart move. Fuller played for Vic Fangio, so the fit would be very logical. Fuller would also fill a huge need in Denver's secondary.
2/17: The Broncos aren't interested in Carson Wentz despite their intention to trade for Deshaun Watson. - James Palmer, NFL Network
Wentz and Drew Lock had the same stats last year, so the Broncos don't deem it too much of an upgrade. Granted, 2020 was Wentz's worst year and Lock's best season, but Wentz's contract also must be factored into the decision.
2/17: The Broncos will pursue Deshaun Watson. - Troy Renck, ABC News Denver
Denver is desperate for a quarterback upgrade, as it tried to trade for Matthew Stafford before the Rams came in with a better offer. Watson said he was intrigued with the move to Denver, but the competition for his services will be fierce.
Green Bay Packers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/10: The Packers had interest in Zach Ertz at the trade deadline. - Peter Bukowski, SB Nation
But what about Robert Tonyan? The Packers would be wasting their money with Ertz unless thy get him cheaply; he's a declining, injury-prone player who is now a shell of his former self.
2/25: Corey Linsley is expected to enter free agency. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Linsley is such an important part of Green Bay's offense, so it would be a huge blow to the Packers if he were to leave.
Houston Texans:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
2/25: No believes the Texans will trade Deshaun Watson. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Lots of teams have called for Watson, but the Texans reportedly aren't budging. It would be foolish of them to do so why they don't have as much leverage. Rapoport opined that this impasse will last a very long time, and I would agree with that.
2/25: Deshaun Watson met with new head coach David Culley, but reiterated that he will not play for the Texans again. - Dan Graziano, ESPN
The Texans shouldn't budge unless they get a great deal. They'd lose leverage if they dealt Watson soon, so they should hold on to him as soon as possible, even if it means Watson misses all of 2021.
Indianapolis Colts:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/22: Sammy Watkins will visit the Ravens and Colts. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
They shouldn't pay him much. Watkins has been a disappointment for years, and he couldn't even be consistent when catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. The team that signs him should give him a low-cost, 1-year "prove it" deal.
3/13: John Brown told the media that he would be interested in signing with the Colts or Steelers. -
Indianapolis would be better for his production because the Steeler receiving corps is crowded, even when factoring in JuJu Smith-Schuster's expected departure. The Colts need a new No. 1 receiver with T.Y. Hilton entering free agency, and Carson Wentz would make nice use of Brown's speed.
2/14: The Eagles have had discussions with the Colts and Seahawks in a trade involving Zach Ertz. - Eric Kracz, Sports Illustrated
You have to admire the Eagles for trying to obtain resources for their declining players with bloated contracts, but any team that gives up anything substantial for a regressing 31-year-old tight end would be making a big mistake.
2/14: The Colts have offered two second-round picks for Carson Wentz. - Ron Jaworski, WPVI Philadelphia
The Eagles are seeking two first-round picks for Wentz, so the two teams are clearly at an impasse. Philadelphia might have obtained the two first-rounders if it weren't for Wentz's albatross of a contract, but the financial situation is what's most challenging when it comes to trading Wentz.
Jacksonville Jaguars:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/2: The Jaguars should heavily pursue Hunter Henry. - Michael DiRocco, ESPN
It's unclear if this reporter expects them to, or if he's just giving his opinion. Either way, it would be a huge mistake for the Jaguars to overpay for Henry, given his extensive injury history.
Kansas City Chiefs:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/19: Melvin Ingram will visit the Chiefs. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Ingram turns 32 in April, and he played in only nine games last year. He's obviously in a decline, but he could help the Chiefs win another Super Bowl in 2021. He'd be a great addition on a 1-year "prove it" deal.
Las Vegas Raiders:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: Kyle Long is visiting the Raiders. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
The Raiders dumped three-fifths of the offensive line last week, so they need to find replacements in free agency or the draft.
3/8: A.J. Bouye visited the Raiders. - Mike Klis, 9News
Bouye was just cut by the Broncos for salary reasons. He would be a nice upgrade for the Raiders, who have some well-documented struggles defensively.
3/3: The Raiders have had discussions about trading Trent Brown. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Breaking apart the strength of the team, the offensive line, doesn't seem like the best strategy. The Raiders already cut Gabe Jackson, and their blocking will be worse if Brown is traded. Granted, Brown has trouble staying healthy, but trading him now would be selling low in the wake of his five-game 2020 campaign.
2/25: Russell Wilson will waive his no-trade clause in deals with the Bears, Cowboys, Raiders and Saints. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Wilson's agent noted that they haven't requested a trade, but listed four teams Wilson would like to go. So much for that previous report. At any rate, Wilson's top destination should be New Orleans because of Sean Payton, the great offensive line, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. The worst destination would be Chicago because the Bears have a horrible offensive line, and there's no guarantee Allen Robinson will be retained.
2/25: Russell Wilson's camp has broached trade discussions with the Dolphins, Raiders, Saints and Jets. - Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic
I'm not sure who this reporter is, but it's an interesting story nonetheless. Per the report, Wilson is frustrated with Pete Carroll, who was recently extended. Any of the four teams would automatically become one of the Super Bowl favorites if they acquire Wilson. This includes the Jets, who would actually be able to protect Wilson with a solid offensive line.
2/18: The Colts called about Derek Carr's availability prior to trading for Carson Wentz, but the Raiders told them they weren't interested in trading him. - Jim Ayello, Indianapolis Star
The Raiders are obviously overvaluing Carr, whom they should have considered trading. Nevertheless, the Raiders are more interested in moving Marcus Mariota this offseason.
Miami Dolphins:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/13: James Conner is on the Dolphins' radar. - Barry Jackson, Miami Herald
Why? I don't see the mediocre Conner as an upgrade over Myles Gaskin. The two could form a decent committee, but Miami would be better off finding a new running back in the 2021 NFL Draft.
3/9: A league source says Kenny Golladay is expected to sign with the Dolphins or Giants. - Adam Beasley, Miami Herald
Beasley reported that the Dolphins have considerable interest in Golladay. Both teams would make sense for Golladay, who would fill a need for a No. 1 receiver.
3/2: The Dolphins are now free to sign Haason Reddick in the wake of the J.J. Watt deal. - Armando Salguero, Miami Herald
Salguero points out the system fit for Reddkick, which indicates Miami's potential interest in him. Given Watt's deal, the Cardinals will have issues re-signing Reddick, who had a great 2020 campaign. Reddick would be a nice replacement for Kyle Van Noy.
2/25: Russell Wilson's camp has broached trade discussions with the Dolphins, Raiders, Saints and Jets. - Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic
I'm not sure who this reporter is, but it's an interesting story nonetheless. Per the report, Wilson is frustrated with Pete Carroll, who was recently extended. Any of the four teams would automatically become one of the Super Bowl favorites if they acquire Wilson. This includes the Jets, who would actually be able to protect Wilson with a solid offensive line.
2/24: There's mutual interest between the Dolphins and Aaron Jones. - Barry Jackson, Miami Herald
The Dolphins have the 10th-most cap space in the NFL, so they can afford to spend big bucks on a running back. Jones is expected to fetch a big contract this offseason, which would make it difficult for the cap-strapped Packers to retain him. That said, it's often a mistake to shell out lots of money to a player at a position that is very replaceable.
Minnesota Vikings:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Browns, Jets and Vikings have expressed interest in Trey Hendrickson. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
All three need an edge rusher, so this all makes sense. Hendrickson is a 26-year-old defensive end with a ton of long-term upside. He'll command a huge contract.
New England Patriots:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Patriots are working on a deal with Kendrick Bourne. - Jeremy Fowler, ESPN
Meh. The Patriots struggle to identify talent at receiver, so if they think this is their splash signing at the position, they're sorely mistaken. Bourne could be a quality role player for them, but that's about it.
3/15: The Patriots are making a major push for Matthew Judon. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
New England needs to bolster its pass rush, so Judon would be a nice addition. It's worth noting that the Ravens don't want to give Judon a huge contract, so the Patriots shouldn't be willing to do so.
3/6: Kyle Rudolph would like to sign with the Patriots. - Doug Kyed, NESN
The two parties expressed interest in one another two years ago. The signing makes all the sense in the world, given New England's dire need at the position.
3/3: The Patriots have shown interest in Kyle Rudolph in the past. - Doug Kyed, NESN
Rudolph was just released by the Vikings. The Patriots have a huge need at tight end, so this is a natural fit.
2/24: The Patriots have been calling about every veteran quarterback available. - Jeff Howe, The Athletic
This includes Jimmy Garoppolo, who could conceivably make his return to the Patriots. New England could also go after another former player in Jacoby Brissett.
New Orleans Saints:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/16: The Saints are interested in signing Richard Sherman. - Tom Pelissero, NFL Network
With that money? The Saints are $11 million over the cap. Perhaps they'd have some funds if they didn't give Jameis Winston $12 million on Monday. Sherman would be a nice addition to start across from Marshon Lattimore, but unless Sherman takes a very cheap deal, it doesn't seem feasible for New Orleans.
2/25: Russell Wilson will waive his no-trade clause in deals with the Bears, Cowboys, Raiders and Saints. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Wilson's agent noted that they haven't requested a trade, but listed four teams Wilson would like to go. So much for that previous report. At any rate, Wilson's top destination should be New Orleans because of Sean Payton, the great offensive line, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. The worst destination would be Chicago because the Bears have a horrible offensive line, and there's no guarantee Allen Robinson will be retained.
2/25: Russell Wilson's camp has broached trade discussions with the Dolphins, Raiders, Saints and Jets. - Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic
I'm not sure who this reporter is, but it's an interesting story nonetheless. Per the report, Wilson is frustrated with Pete Carroll, who was recently extended. Any of the four teams would automatically become one of the Super Bowl favorites if they acquire Wilson. This includes the Jets, who would actually be able to protect Wilson with a solid offensive line.
New York Giants:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Giants are making a push to sign Leonard Floyd. - Dianna Marie Russini, ESPN
They better not overpay. Floyd was a bust throughout his career until signing on with the Rams last year. He had a great season, but simply was able to benefit from teams focusing on Aaron Donald. Floyd should get a 1-year "prove it" deal at best.
3/9: A league source says Kenny Golladay is expected to sign with the Dolphins or Giants. - Adam Beasley, Miami Herald
Beasley reported that the Dolphins have considerable interest in Golladay. Both teams would make sense for Golladay, who would fill a need for a No. 1 receiver.
3/3: The Giants showed interest in Kyle Van Noy prior to 2020. - Ralph Vacchiano, SNY
Miami just cut Van Noy, so if the Giants still want him, they have to be considered one of the favorites to sign him. Van Noy would be a good fit in New York, given that the Giants have a big need for an outside linebacker.
New York Jets:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/18: The Jets are having conversations with JuJu Smith-Schuster. - Ian Rapoport, NFL Network
Smith-Schuster comes with locker room drama, but you can say that about many talented receivers. The Jets sorely need a No. 1 wideout for either Zach Wilson or Justin Fields, and Smith-Schuster would certainly qualify for that role. Given that the Jets have lots of cap space and an impending rookie quarterback contract, they won't be hurting too much if the Smith-Schuster signing blows up in their face.
3/15: The Browns, Jets and Vikings have expressed interest in Trey Hendrickson. - Josina Anderson, ESPN
All three need an edge rusher, so this all makes sense. Hendrickson is a 26-year-old defensive end with a ton of long-term upside. He'll command a huge contract.
3/10: Expect the Jets to pursue Patriots guard Joe Thuney when free agency begins. - Scott Mason, Play Like A Jet
The Jets already have a solid offensive line, so a Thuney signing would give them one of the elite fronts for whichever quarterback they draft at No. 2 overall.
2/25: Russell Wilson's camp has broached trade discussions with the Dolphins, Raiders, Saints and Jets. - Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic
I'm not sure who this reporter is, but it's an interesting story nonetheless. Per the report, Wilson is frustrated with Pete Carroll, who was recently extended. Any of the four teams would automatically become one of the Super Bowl favorites if they acquire Wilson. This includes the Jets, who would actually be able to protect Wilson with a solid offensive line.
Philadelphia Eagles:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
2/14: The Eagles have had discussions with the Colts and Seahawks in a trade involving Zach Ertz. - Eric Kracz, Sports Illustrated
You have to admire the Eagles for trying to obtain resources for their declining players with bloated contracts, but any team that gives up anything substantial for a regressing 31-year-old tight end would be making a big mistake.
2/14: The Colts have offered two second-round picks for Carson Wentz. - Ron Jaworski, WPVI Philadelphia
The Eagles are seeking two first-round picks for Wentz, so the two teams are clearly at an impasse. Philadelphia might have obtained the two first-rounders if it weren't for Wentz's albatross of a contract, but the financial situation is what's most challenging when it comes to trading Wentz.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/13: John Brown told the media that he would be interested in signing with the Colts or Steelers. -
Indianapolis would be better for his production because the Steeler receiving corps is crowded, even when factoring in JuJu Smith-Schuster's expected departure. The Colts need a new No. 1 receiver with T.Y. Hilton entering free agency, and Carson Wentz would make nice use of Brown's speed.
3/2: The Steelers are unlikely to re-sign James Conner. - Brooke Pryor, ESPN
This is hardly a surprise. Conner has been a big disappointment in the past two seasons. It was more of a shock that they didn't give carries to their other backs last year. If the Steelers don't add a talented running back in free agency, they'll likely use a pick on one in the first three rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft.
2/24: Ben Roethlisberger will return for the 2021 season, according to Steelers President Art Rooney. -
The Steelers previously did not commit to Roethlisberger returning, so this is big news. They obviously came to their senses and realized they couldn't find a better quarterback than Roethlisberger this offseason.
2/14: The Bills, Browns, Steelers and Titans have expressed interest in J.J. Watt. - Ed Werder, ESPN
All of these teams seem like natural fits for Watt. Perhaps the Titans make the most sense because Watt played for Mike Vrabel several years ago. Here are more NFL teams that could sign Watt.
San Francisco 49ers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/1: The 49ers have reached out to the Panthers to acquire Teddy Bridgewater. - Joseph Person, The Athletic
This assumes the 49ers would want Bridgewater as the backup after the Nick Mullens debacle last year, but you can't ever count out Bridgewater being an upgrade over Jimmy Garoppolo, who has had trouble staying healthy in his career. The same can be said of Bridgewater, but Garoppolo has mostly been a disappointment in San Francisco.
Seattle Seahawks:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/16: Pete Carroll has interest in Sam Darnold as a possible replacement for Russell Wilson. - Pat Leonard, New York Daily News
That's not too much of a downgrade, right? The Seahawks would be going from an elite quarterback to a guy who saw the undead when playing against Bill Belichick for the first time. This will work out well.
3/15: The Seahawks are making a bid for Leonard Fournette. - Albert Breer, MMQB
It'll be interesting to see how much the Seahawks overpay Fournette. Seattle is in the middle of the pack as far as cap space is concerned, so overpaying for a slightly overrated player would be a huge mistake.
3/10: The Seahawks had interest in Matthew Judon last year. - Corbin Smith, SI.com
The Ravens did not franchise Judon, so he'll hit free agency. The Seahawks need multiple edge rushers, so Judon would be a nice addition at the right price.
3/5: The Bears have prioritized at making a run at Russell Wilson. - Brad Biggs, Chicago Tribune
The Seahawks would be fools to trade one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. If they do, however, they would need at least four first-round picks as a starting point - remember, none of the Chicago selections will be in the top 10 in all likelihood - and then something on top of that. Moving Wilson for anything less would be an utter failure, and it would condemn the Seahawks to the bottom of the standings for many years.
2/14: The Eagles have had discussions with the Colts and Seahawks in a trade involving Zach Ertz. - Eric Kracz, Sports Illustrated
You have to admire the Eagles for trying to obtain resources for their declining players with bloated contracts, but any team that gives up anything substantial for a regressing 31-year-old tight end would be making a big mistake.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/16: The Buccaneers are interested in James White. - Adam Schefter, ESPN
Perhaps the least-surprising news in free agency. Leonard Fournette is bound to leave, and I'm sure Tom Brady would love to have his reliable running back on his team.
Tennessee Titans:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/15: The Titans won't re-sign Jonnu Smith or Corey Davis. - Dianna Marie Russini, ESPN
This isn't much of a surprise. Both players have been inconsistent in their young careers, so giving either a big contract would be a mistake.
2/19: Mike Vrabel said that the team has had discussions about signing J.J. Watt. -
Watt makes so much sense for Tennessee. The Titans need a pass rush, and Watt has played for Vrabel in the past. Going to Tennessee would allow Watt to get revenge on his former team.
2/14: The Bills, Browns, Steelers and Titans have expressed interest in J.J. Watt. - Ed Werder, ESPN
All of these teams seem like natural fits for Watt. Perhaps the Titans make the most sense because Watt played for Mike Vrabel several years ago. Here are more NFL teams that could sign Watt.
Washington Redskins:
Comment on these NFL Rumors
3/5: The Redskins make sense for Teddy Bridgewater because of multiple connections. - John Keim, ESPN
Bridgewater has been coached by Redskins offensive coordinator Scott Turner in Minnesota, and he was acquired by Marty Hurney in Carolina last year. The Redskins no longer have Alex Smith, so they need someone to compete with Taylor Heinicke, just in case his performance in the playoffs was a fluke.
