Drew Bledsoe - QB - Cowboys

Drew Bledsoe could be an option as a backup for the Saints, according to the Biloxi Sun Herald.

This is probably just speculation, but Bledsoe has ties to coach Sean Payton. Jamie Martin, 37, has failed to impress in offseason workouts. Undrafted rookie Tyler Palko and Jason Fife are New Orleans' other options currently. Bledsoe announced his retirement in April and didn't seem interested in backing up.

I think it would be cool to see Bledsoe back in his collegiate home state playing as backup for the Seahawks and Ironic it would be too because NE and Seattle were batting over Bledsoe and Mirer in the early 1990s,but I don't think Bledsoe nor Seattle have any interest nor do I think he would with the Saints.

Has anything changed from Bledsoe's perspective? For whatever reason I believed him when he said he didn't want to be a back-up, so why would he return the call of a team looking or a back-up QB?

This seems like baseless speculation.

I was shocked to see this headline as well, for two reasons......

1.) I was pretty sure Bledsoe did not want to hang around as a backup.
2.) He already has a ring as a backup, so what could he possibly have to gain from a backup role with the Saints?

Agree with TB'sG above. This looks like TOTAL speculation - and not from Bledsoe's camp. I, for one, would love to see the guy get one more shot at redemption. I just don't think he wants it. He had a very nice, eventful career and he played in two Super Bowls, and helped lead us to one - albeit not the one he played in. I love the guy, whatever he wants, he should get.

Come on, we all know Bledsoe is on the Pats' "shadow roster" this season. LOL.

This is a very strange sounding rumor, difficult to believe that he will come out of retirement for a smaller salary.. he is used to the big bucks and the limelight, not sure what has changed here. This would seem out of character for him.

Interesting that it was on a fantasy football oriented website...

Gotta wonder who would even have Bledsoe on their fantasy football team at this point... though I suppose having him in a game does dramatically increase the number of sacks for the opposing defense.

I agree...I think it is a LONG STRETCH...he liked football, but it wasn't in his heart deeply...I think he knew his time was up...was not a starter and ddin't want to hang on.. I would beb very surprised if he signed...

Bledose doesn't have the aptitude to be the back-up NO needs. He won't mentor a young quarterback at all. He's just a sore loser who throws into double coverage.
