BREAKING: Teddy Bridgewater Tears ACL, Joey Bosa Signs Deal, Broncos Name Trevor Siemian Starting QB

Hi, in the last 2 days a lot of BIG news has happened. Here it all is:

Teddy Bridgewater: Today in practice apparently QB Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non contact knee injury which later turned out to be an ACL tear. This means Bridgewater should probably be out for the season. This is terrible for the Vikings, Teddy was wobbly his first 2 seasons in Minnesota and was starting to get the hang of things when he tore his ACL. This will set him back. The Vikings even used their first round pick on wide receiver Laquon Treadwell who was supposed to help Bridgewater develop. The Vikings still have a dominate defense and Adrian Peterson but their backup QB's are messes. I'm wondering how they will do this year. The Vikings do have options though, Mark Sanchez didn't get the starting role in Denver so he may be open, Colin Kaepernick isn't happy with the 49ers and might not start, Josh McCown isn't starting and the Browns might want to get rid of him.

Joey Bosa: No. 3 overall pick in this years NFL Draft, DE Joey Bosa finally signed his contract. He and the Chargers facility had been in a contract battle and Bosa turned down great offers and things weren't looking good for him playing this season when he finally signed his deal. Bosa will really help a crappy D-line and he has such a high chance of being great. The Chargers lucked out on drafting him. This will be a great deal and the Chargers probably won't regret it.

Trevor Siemian: The Broncos have finally named their starting QB. Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian, and rookie Paxton Lynch were all fighting for the job. Lynch was the favorite to start later on in the year and Mark Sanchez was the favorite to be the week 1 starter. Things didn't go as planned. Trevor Siemian played well in pre-season week 1, but so did Sanchez. Week 2, Sanchez and Siemian both weren't great, and week 3, Sanchez was decent but Siemian was great. He looked super comfortable in the offense and since he was the only QB who had been on the roster for more than a year, the Broncos felt more comfortable about starting him. I totally agree with the Broncos and now the questions are, Will Mark Sanchez retire, backup Siemian, or go to another team? And...When will Paxton Lynch step in at starter. Multiple teams may want to trade for Sanchez such as the quarterbackless Vikings or maybe the Cowboys who are looking for a veteran QB. What happens to Sanchez will be a mystery.

Thanks for reading, another weird thing that happened is the Eagles cut WR Rueben Randle who they seemed to like earlier in the pre-season.
