Officially inks with Bucs Tampa Bay signed Bridgewater to a one-year contract Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Bridgewater will spend training camp and the preseason picking up the Buccaneers' offensive scheme and competing with Kyle Trask for the No. 2 quarterback role behind starter Baker Mayfield, missed a couple days due to a hand contusion but retook the field Tuesday. The 32-year-old came out of retirement last December to join Detroit's playoff push, but he didn't see any regular-season action with the team and played just three snaps during the NFC divisional round loss to Washington.

Expected to sign with Buccaneers Bridgewater is visiting Tampa Bay on Tuesday and is expected to sign a contract with the team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Bridgewater, who ranks among the most proven backup quarterbacks in the league at this stage of his career, retired prior to the 2024 season but returned to sign a one-year deal with the Lions late December. He didn't ultimately log any regular-season stats in 2024, while mostly working as the emergency option behind Jared Goff and Hendon Hooker, but Bridgewater assumed the No. 2 role during Detroit's loss to Washington in the NFC divisional round and played three snaps. If he indeed inks with the Buccaneers, Bridgewater will be primed to compete with Kyle Trask for the No. 2 gig behind Baker Mayfield.
