Teddy Bridgewater return would be perfect for Saints, Tyler Shough The Saints have a QB room full of young passers, and veteran backup Teddy Bridgewater would be a great addition to help guide the signal callers.

The #Saints should bring Teddy Bridgewater back (if he's up for it) as the veteran mentor in the quarterback room. Here are my thoughts as to why the fit would be perfect for the Saints, their young passers and the fanbase. πŸ‘‡πŸΎ www.louisianasports.net/teddy-bridge...
