Teddy Bridgewater will remain with the New Orleans Saints as the team's backup quarterback, ESPN's Dianna Russini reported on Thursday.
According to Russini, Bridgewater has decided to return to New Orleans despite meeting with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday. Bridgewater also reportedly had a "bigger deal" on the table from Miami but chose to remain Drew Brees's backup since the offer was not "life-changing money."
Bridgewater now will sign a one-year, $7.25 million fully guaranteed contract with the Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 26-year-old quarterback appeared to confirm his return to New Orleans with a post on Twitter.
