Lions' Teddy Bridgewater: Plans to retire after season
Teddy Bridgewater said in an interview with Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press posted Saturday that he plans to retire after the 2023 season.After joining Detroit on a one-year, $3 million deal this offseason, Bridgewater has seen light usage behind starting quarterback Jared Goff. The 31-year-old's lone appearance of the season came back in Week 5, when he took three snaps at the tail end of a win over Carolina. Barring Goff missing time due to injury over the final three games or getting rested in Week 18 if the Detroit Lions' playoff position is solidified, Bridgewater looks as though he may have already seen the last of his extended NFL action. Since entering the league as a first-round pick of the Vikings in 2014, Bridgewater has completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 15,120 yards, 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions while adding 844 yards and 11 scores on the ground across 79 career games with Minnesota, New Orleans, Carolina, Denver, Miami and Detroit.

Lions' Teddy Bridgewater: Shines in preseason finale
Teddy Bridgewater completed 13 of 22 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason game against Carolina.Bridgewater's second preseason appearance went much better than his first, including a TD drive on the second series of the game when Carolina still had some starters in. The Detroit Lions rested all their starters and some key backups, but that didn't stop Bridgewater from producing 20 points on six drives while playing the entire first half. The highlight was a 70-yard TD pass to Antoine Green, threaded between three defenders, with the Lions seemingly seeing what they needed to confirm Bridgewater as their No. 2 QB for the season opener in Kansas City on Sept. 7.

Lions' Teddy Bridgewater: Shaky in Lions debut
Teddy Bridgewater completed five of his 11 pass attempts for 34 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's 25-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars.Jared Goff sat out the game, leaving Bridgewater with the start. He led six offensive possessions but couldn't move the ball much while leading zero scoring drives. It was a lackluster debut for Bridgwater in Detroit, but he'll remain one of the better backup options around the league in 2023.

Dolphins' Teddy Bridgewater: Ends season as backup
Teddy Bridgewater completed 49 of 79 pass attempts for 683 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions across five appearances with the Miami Dolphins in 2022. He also carried the ball three times for 27 yards.Bridgewater served as the backup to rookie Skylar Thompson during the Dolphins' final game, a wild-card playoff loss against the Bills, as a dislocated pinkie finger on his throwing hand continued to hamper him. The 30-year-old veteran was mediocre in limited action during his one-year contract with Miami, though he did battle injuries, so it remains to be seen whether the team will be interested in re-signing him during free agency. Bridgewater only saw significant action in three contests during the 2022 season, but the Dolphins lost each of those games.
