I dunno man, I think he has a much higher ceiling than Bridgewater.If Brissett were available, I would consider him along with all the other veteran quarterbacks. Personally, I would prefer Bridgewater.

That's 20 million less than than an immobile Brady. Where do we sign?

Very excited for this. Short flight to Vegas from Denver.
I wouldn’t say he was traded due to fit - I would look at the trade as a simple case of Bill deciding at that time, in that year, that the need for depth at WR was greater than the need at 3rd string QB.WHY would you bring back a player who was traded because he didn't fit here? All he did in Indianapolis was prove it was the correct decision. Brissett is on the low side of mediocre.
OK, let's rephrase it to: the Patriots considered him expendable because he wasn't good enough to command a roster space at quarterback. Is that better?I wouldn’t say he was traded due to fit - I would look at the trade as a simple case of Bill deciding at that time, in that year, that the need for depth at WR was greater than the need at 3rd string QB.
Maybe, but can we say definitively that he would’ve been cut if that specific trade didn’t manifest itself?OK, let's rephrase it to: the Patriots considered him expendable because he wasn't good enough to command a roster space at quarterback. Is that better?

You tell me. The Pats didn't carry three QBs that season after his exit. Brissett's play regressed during the preseason that year which is why he was third on the depth chart. He has been little more than a placeholder in Indy going 11-19 as a starter. He forever will be limited by his mechanics. I'd be shocked if he was brought back to New England in anything but a backup role.Maybe, but can we say definitively that he would’ve been cut if that specific trade didn’t manifest itself?
The most likely scenario of course is the one you’re presenting, but I don’t think the door is definitively closed on the player just because BB traded him for a different player that he needed more at that time a few years ago.
