Teddy Bridgewater is coming out of retirement and returning to the NFL.
The quarterback led his high school alma mater, Miami Northwestern, to a state championship a few weeks ago. And it appears the victory has left him nursing some football fever as he confirmed he would return to playing shortly after.
Bridgewater told NFL Network’s ‘The Insiders’ “that’s the plan” while discussing a potential comeback, revealing he would sign with a team and return to coaching in February.
NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo, and Tom Pelissero have all reported that he is set to sign with the Detroit Lions in a move that will reunite him with the NFC team after he signed on as Jared Goff’s backup in 2023.
The Lions should benefit from the player’s leadership and experience. Of course, they’re really signing him as an option who would provide them with adequate cover at the quarterback position should Goff suffer an injury.
