Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will get another chance to audition for teams around the NFL on Friday against the Giants.

The Jets would love to find a trade partner for Bridgewater now that rookie Sam Darnold has shown them he can handle the starting job. But there are a few issues with trading Bridgewater. The first is that pretty much every team has settled on its starting quarterback. That means a team would only be looking at Bridgewater as an upgrade at backup quarterback right now, and the Jets would not get the trade compensation they desire in a backup deal.

The other issue for the Jets, as pointed out by two NFL general managers, is that Bridgewater’s contract is only for one year. Essentially, he’s a rental player for a team acquiring him. Is any team going to give up a second- or third-round pick for a player they could only have for four months? No. A team might be willing to negotiate with Bridgewater to add a year to his contract, but Bridgewater might not be willing to do that. For Bridgewater, this is a year to prove he can still play and then try to cash in next March in free agency.

The prime scenario for the Jets is a team losing its starting quarterback this weekend or early in the regular season and becoming desperate enough to part ways with a premium pick for Bridgewater. That is a long shot, though.

There are a few Jets who could make their preseason debuts on Friday. Wide receivers Quincy Enunwa and Terrelle Pryor and safety Marcus Maye have all been practicing and could be ready for game action. Jets coach Todd Bowles would not commit to them playing.

“It’s not the practice itself. It’s about the next day afterwards, so I’ll see how they come around and I’ll make that decision Friday night,” Bowles said.

Tight end Chris Herndon will play for the first time. The rookie has been nursing some injuries, but has looked good in practice.

“He’ll play. He’s been healthy. He’s been practicing very well,” Bowles said. “We’re just looking forward to seeing more of him. He’s progressing. He hasn’t had a lot of time to progress, but he’s practicing hard. He just need some game experience.”
