Bridgewater, 33, played for the Lions from 2023-2024, serving as Jared Goff’s primary backup.

The Lions had to fill the void left by last year’s backup, Kyle Allen, who signed with the Buffalo Bills.

Bridgewater appeared in one game for Detroit back in 2023, and played in four games last year for Tampa Bay.
