QB Teddy Bridgewater Steps Away From Lions, Retiring From NFL Once Again

Teddy Bridgewater, 33, has informed the Detroit Lions he’s retiring again, likely ending an 11-year NFL career.
During a previous retirement he coached his alma mater, Miami Northwestern, to a Class 3A state title — and is widely praised as a great teammate.
His sudden exit leaves the Lions thin at quarterback behind Jared Goff, pushing the team to find an experienced backup before the season starts.
