The Facts: Bridgewater might have signed with the Jets, but the former Vikings quarterback is far from guaranteed a Week 1 roster spot. Bridgewater, who suffered a grievous knee injury (torn ACL/dislocation) in August 2016 that kept him shelved for the better part of two seasons, wouldn’t divulge if he’d be healthy enough to participate fully in spring practices. “That’s something I’m not comfortable talking about right now,” Bridgewater said on a conference call Wednesday. “I’m pretty sure that’ll be a discussion that I have with the training staff. We’ll come up with a plan moving forward.”
Diehards Line:The 25-year-old Bridgewater, whose one-year, $6 million deal only includes $500,000 guaranteed, appears to be in a precarious position between veteran Josh McCown and the incoming hot-shot rookie signal caller whom the Jets will draft in a few weeks. “I’m not going to give a percentage,” Bridgewater said about how healthy his knee is right now. “But I do believe that I’m capable of performing at a high level.”
