Lions' Teddy Bridgewater Intends to Retire After 2023-24 NFL Season, Coach HSFB

Teddy Bridgewater's NFL career is coming to an end, but he's going to stay around the game of football.

The Detroit Lions backup quarterback told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free-Press he plans to retire at the end of this season and move into coaching high school football:

"Everything happens for a reason. Injuries, highs, lows, the success, the failures. It all, it builds character, and that's what it did for me. Like I never look like, 'Oh man, what if?' Nah. Whatever was meant for me, it played out the exact way it was meant.
