The Denver Broncos have made history with their latest signing, inking a record-breaking deal with free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The deal, which is reportedly worth $63 million over three years, is the largest contract ever given to a free agent quarterback in the NFL.
The Broncos have been searching for a franchise quarterback since Peyton Manning retired in 2016, and they believe they have found their man in Bridgewater. The former first-round pick out of Louisville has had an up-and-down career, but he showed flashes of brilliance in his time with the New Orleans Saints.
Bridgewater will be expected to lead the Broncos back to the playoffs, something they have not done since their Super Bowl 50 victory in 2015. He will be surrounded by a talented group of skill players, including Pro Bowl wide receiver Courtland Sutton and running back Melvin Gordon.
The Broncos are hoping that Bridgewater can bring stability to the quarterback position and help the team return to its winning ways. With the signing of Bridgewater, the Broncos have made a statement that they are serious about competing for a championship. Only time will tell if the record-breaking deal will pay off for the Broncos, but for now, they have made a bold move to try and get back to the top of the NFL.
