Report: Jets working on deal with Bridgewater

The New York Jets are working on a deal with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport adds that Bridgewater has other options, but he's the team's top choice following the reported signings of Case Keenum, Kirk Cousins, Drew Brees, and Sam Bradford earlier Tuesday.

With veteran signal-caller Josh McCown set to hit free agency without a contract at the beginning of the new league year Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, Bridgewater would join incumbent backups Bryce Petty, Christian Hackenberg, and Joel Stave.

The Jets hold the No. 6 pick in the draft and are widely expected to be considering one of this year's top quarterback prospects.
