Teddy will be joining former teammate Lorenzo Mauldin and former Card Bilal Powell who are currently members of Gang Green.
Teddy’s one year deal will pay him about half of what Josh McCown, the other QB the Jets are signing, is going to make per Dianna Russini of ESPN.
Bridgewater will get approximately half of the $10 million the Jets agreed to pay Josh McCown on another one year deal, the source shared with @mortreport #jets

If Teddy can make a return to his 2015 form after missing 2 years with a devastating knee injury, he can greatly improve the Jets offensively and their playoff chances.
If we UofL fans know anything, we know Teddy is a big time competitor, a student of the game, and a winner.
Congrats on the new home Teddy. Hopefully, you find prosperity on the field.
Update: per Ian Rapoport, Teddy’s 1 year deal is for up to $15 million.
