Detroit Lions host free agent QB Teddy Bridgewater on visit, no signing imminent

Four months after they made him an offer in free agency, the Detroit Lions hosted veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on a visit Monday.

While no signing is imminent, Bridgewater, 30, is considered the top backup quarterback still on the market.

He has started 65 games for five teams in his nine-year NFL career and previously played for Lions coach Dan Campbell when Campbell was an assistant with the New Orleans Saints. In 2018-19, Bridgewater went 5-1 with the Saints, throwing for 1,502 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Bridgewater went 0-2 as a fill-in starter for the Miami Dolphins last season, when he dealt with elbow and finger injuries, and also has played for the Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos in his career.
