Okay, so today I decided to dig into Teddy Bridgewater’s contract situation. It’s something I’ve been curious about, and I figured, why not document the whole process?

Getting Started
First, I fired up my browser. My go-to is usually Google, it’s just habit. I typed in “Teddy Bridgewater contract” and hit enter. The usual suspects popped up – news articles, salary cap websites, all that jazz.
Diving into the Details
I started clicking through a few of the top results. I mostly skimmed the articles, honestly. I was really just looking for the raw numbers. I bounced between a couple of different sites, trying to make sure the info was consistent.
- One site had a really clean breakdown, year by year. That was helpful.
- Another one had some extra details, like bonuses and incentives. Nice!
- Some others I just closed it.
Putting it Together
After I felt like I had a good grasp on the numbers, I opened up a simple text editor. Nothing fancy, just a place to jot down my notes. I started listing out the key details:
- Total contract value…
- Guaranteed money…
- Yearly breakdown…
- Any interesting clauses or bonuses…
I went back and forth between the websites and my notes, copying and pasting the important bits. I tried to organize it in a way that made sense to me. I wasn’t trying to write a formal report or anything, just get a clear picture for myself.
My “Aha!” Moment
Once I had it all laid out, it became a lot clearer. I could see how the contract was structured, how much he was making each year, and how much was actually guaranteed. It was satisfying to piece it all together!
I finish it and get a clear result!
