Accomplished NFL vet and fan favorite exits retirement to rejoin a top contender, per report.
on Thursday that quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is officially ending his retirement to sign with the Detroit Lions. Bridgewater, 32, had retired last season and had recently coached his high school football team to a state championship this fall.
Bridgewater was originally a first-round choice by the Minnesota Vikings, 32nd overall, out of Louisville in the 2014 NFL Draft. He went 6-6 as a starter in his rookie year before engineering the Vikings to an 11-5 mark and a playoff berth in 2015. After a strong 2018 preseason with the Jets, Bridgewater was traded to the Saints in exchange for a third-round draft choice. He'd be a backup to Drew Brees that season, starting the 2018 season finale against Carolina. That was his first start since 2015 with the Vikings.
