Veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, pending the results of a physical, according to league sources. The 32-year-old visited the team this week as Tampa Bay looks to add depth to its quarterback group ahead of the upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes amid some uncertainty at the position. Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield recently sustained a minor hand injury, and rookie Michael Pratt remains on the physically unable to perform list. Bridgewater would provide a reliable veteran presence behind Mayfield and Kyle Trask, offering both experience and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bridgewater briefly came out of retirement last season to join the Detroit Lions during their playoff run, though he saw limited action. Before that, he served as a high school coach in Miami, a position he later left following a suspension tied to a rules violation. Now, the former first-round pick is eyeing another NFL opportunity\u2014this time with the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
