Most definitely he'd rather go to a place to compete for a starting position, but I wouldn't mind him becoming a Packers backup. How do you feel about that?

Bridgewater would be an immediate upgrade.

Would be a solid backup signing but as you said he'll pick a team who doesn't have an established #1 qb. After what he did to his leg though who knows what Bridgewater can even provide. The Vikings know him better than anyone so by letting him walk it kinda says something.

I've never really been a Bridgewater fan, though I've wondered if part of that might be partly because he's playing like his defensive head coach has asked him to play too cautious... I've wondered if a more aggressive offensive mind might get better or worse out of him.

If nothing else he could also return kicks.

Most NFL Teams will not want anything to do with Bridgewater because of the severity of his injuries. It wont matter how healthy the Doctors say he is, he would be targeted by opposing defenses. Most teams, and I believe GB is one, would not gamble on such a high stakes level.

If he gets on say the Chargers or the Bills roster, then more power to him. I would not expect GB to give him even a 1st look. [twocents]

Not every team that needs a QB is going to find one in the draft. There are about 5 QBs who can go in the first. If you look at teams with openings right now you can easily get to 7. Then you have teams like the Saints, Steelers and Patriots, who would like to get someone on the roster who can take over when their QB hangs it up in a year or two. And behind that you have teams like us, the Cowboys and the Falcons who could use a back-up like him.

Of course you don't want to rely on him, but if your only QBs right now are Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg, I can't imagine you wouldn't take that low-risk, high-reward gamble. The same goes for the back-up spots. If you can sign him to a cheap deal, there's a decent chance you have one of the best back-ups in the league. And if it doesn't turn out, there's really not that big a loss.
