Report: Teddy Bridgewater to Sign Dolphins Contract to Be Backup to Tua Tagovailoa

The Miami Dolphins reportedly plan on signing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to a one-year deal to backup Tua Tagovailoa, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Bridgewater spent most of the 2021 season as the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Carolina Panthers.

The 29-year-old Miami native completed 66.9 percent of his throws for 3,052 yards with 18 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in 14 games. He ranked 20th in ESPN's Total QBR (47.3) and received a solid 73.5 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.

He suffered a head injury in a scary collision during a December game against the Cincinnati Bengals that led to a hospital stay and ultimately landed him on season-ending injured reserve.
