Teddy Bridgewater Retires for Good | Wilmington News

Teddy Bridgewater’s second retirement hits hard—this time for real, per Lions coach Dan Campbell. After briefly returning from his 2023 exit to back up Jared Goff, the veteran QB walked away mid-camp, officially retiring via the reserve/retired list. Campbell praised Teddy’s heart, noting his concern for not letting the team down—a testament to his character. With Bridgewater out, Detroit swiftly signed Josh Dobbs, a familiar face from their 2022 practice squad and Patriots backup, for a modest $14.25M deal with $475K guaranteed. Dobbs brings dual-threat versatility, contrasting Goff’s passing game. Bridgewater, a 2014 first-rounder and Pro Bowler, had a rocky path after a devastating knee injury in 2016, bouncing between teams before leaving with over 15K yards and 75 TDs in 11 seasons.
