Teddy Bridgewater (QB Denver Broncos)

"A tibiofemoral dislocation is a traumatic dislocation of the knee which often causes vascular injuries and permanent damage if immediate action if not taken. Bridgewater's tibia and femur reportedly separated at the knee, causing the catastrophic situation."

Well I guess that makes sense why players were puking afterwards.....tibia and femur separating from the knee? Dear god.

Anterior dislocations of the knee tend to occur with hyperextension (>30 degrees or so), whereas posterior dislocations usually involve trauma. Considering it was a non-contact injury, sounds like it would be an anterior dislocation.

He must have hyperextended and put enough weight on it to snap the ACL, which normally prevents anterior dislocation of the tibia from the femur.

I would say this trade shows that the Vikings are concerned with his long term viability
yeah I guess there are escalators its a 1st and an '18 4th... which can go up as high as a 2nd based on play...

This screams "we dont know if he'll be back next year" However if you're concerned about long term, why not be crappy this year and draft a QB high... unless you think the next 2 years worth of draft dont have franchise QBs in them.

That's why they needed to keep their first rounder. Bradford isn't the answer to anything. This just became a "we need another long term dependable QB AND don't have a first round pick" situation aka "more screwed than before the trade."

I just want to know how the fuck teams keep getting 1st round value out of Bradford. He's terrible when he's healthy, which isn't often. Then to give them a 2-4 conditional in 2018?! WTF!

Carolina Panthers trade QB Teddy Bridgewater to Denver Broncos

The Carolina Panthers have traded quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the Denver Broncos for a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, it was announced Wednesday.

The Panthers will pay $7 million to Bridgewater; the Broncos will pay him $3 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"Acquiring Teddy Bridgewater adds competition, experience and a strong veteran presence to our quarterback room," Broncos general manager George Paton said in a statement. "He's a talented player and leader who's had success in this league in a number of different situations."

The trade will not take the Broncos, who have the No. 9 overall pick, out of the market for a quarterback in Thursday's draft, a source told ESPN.

Paton saw several of the top prospects in person at each of their pro days in recent weeks, and the Broncos had representatives at the second pro days for North Dakota State's Trey Lance and Ohio State's Justin Fields.

Bridgewater, who signed a three-year, $63 million deal with the Panthers before last season, threw for 3,733 yards in 2020, with 15 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. By renegotiating the final two years of Bridgewater's deal, the Panthers will save $6 million in 2021 and $26 million in 2022, a source told ESPN's David Newton.

The financial concessions by the Panthers for the 2021 season were key to the deal. The Broncos largely sat out the quarterback derby during free agency, with Paton saying he didn't want to "force it and bring a guy in or overpay a guy to come in and he's not as good as the guy we have and maybe he's not good enough to compete.''

Carolina had traded for former New York Jets starting quarterback Sam Darnold earlier this month, making this the second time that Bridgewater was traded after a team acquired Darnold: Bridgewater signed with the Jets in free agency and was then traded before the season after the Jets drafted Darnold.
