Lions sign Teddy Bridgewater as a veteran backup QB

The Detroit Lions are bringing back Teddy Bridgewater to give the team a veteran backup quarterback for their playoff run

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • Associated Press

Set to end retirement, rejoin Lions Bridgewater plans to end his retirement and is expected to sign with the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Bridgewater spent the 2023 campaign as the top backup to Jared Goff, but the Lions could stash him on the practice squad initially as he rejoins the organization with two weeks left in the regular season. After announcing his retirement following Detroit's run to the NFC Championship Game last January, Bridgewater has spent the past year as a high school head coach at his alma mater, whom he led to a Florida state title. In the midst of his coaching, Bridgewater has apparently kept himself in playing shape, and the 32-year-old signal-caller is now ready to resume his playing career while rejoining Detroit for the stretch run. If Bridgewater is eventually added to the Lions' 53-man roster, it's unclear if he would step back in as the No. 2 quarterback behind Goff, or if he would slot third on the depth chart behind second-year signal-caller Hendon Hooker.

Teddy Bridgewater teases possible NFL return after winning state title

Fresh off coaching his high school alma mater to a state championship, Teddy Bridgewater hints about making an NFL comeback.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Could be looking to return to NFL Bridgewater said Tuesday that he might look to sign with an NFL team over the next few weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Bridgewater was a first-round draft pick by Minnesota in 2014 and played for six different NFL teams before announcing his retirement last season. He moved on to coaching his high school alma mater, Miami (Florida) Northwestern, and concluded a successful season in that role this past Saturday when the team won the Division 3A Florida High School Athletic Association state title game. When asked Tuesday if Bridgewater has a team lined up to join upon retiring, he stated, "Right now, I'm enjoying this state championship," per Grant Gordon of NFL.com, so it's unclear how concrete his plans for a return are. If Bridgewater does make a comeback, it would likely be in a backup role, as he started only twice over six game appearances across his final two professional seasons in 2022 and 2023.
