TAMPA, Fla. — Teddy Bridgewater is returning to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers signed Bridgewater to a one-year deal on Tuesday.
The Buccaneers are the eighth team in 12 seasons for the 32-year-old Bridgewater.
Bridgewater coached his former high school in Miami to a Class 3A state championship last fall and then returned to the NFL in late December to serve as a backup to Jared Goff for the playoff-bound Lions.
He will provide insurance for the four-time defending NFC South champions behind Baker Mayfield. The Buccaneers also have veteran Kyle Trask, who has thrown 11 passes in four seasons since he was a second-round pick in 2021.
