Hey, good for Teddy Bridgewater. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback signed with the Detroit Lions on Monday, reuniting with several of his old coaches and teammates. Lions head coach Dan Campbell, the former Saints’ tight ends coach, talked up Bridgewater as an important addition to their team.
He’ll be competing against familiar faces like linebacker Alex Anzalone and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson in training camp, and there’s a non-zero chance Bridgewater is starting for Detroit when they visit New Orleans in the winter (for a Week 13 game on Dec. 3). Rookie draft pick Hendon Hooker was selected to back up Jared Goff, but he opened Lions camp on the NFI list while he continues to recover from last year’s knee injury.
