Teddy Bridgewater News
Sunday, August 9, 10:22 AM
Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has informed the team that he plans to step away, with retirement considered likely, according to Ian Rapoport. The 33-year-old entered training camp as Jared Goff's expected backup after returning to Detroit for a third stint in March. Bridgewater appeared in four games for Tampa Bay last season, completing eight of 15 passes for 62 yards, and has made 65 starts over his NFL career. His decision leaves undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer as the only other quarterback currently on the roster behind Goff. Altmyer had been trying to push Bridgewater for the No. 2 job and should now get an extended look during the preseason. Detroit is not handing him the position uncontested, however, as the Lions plan to work out several quarterbacks while looking to add another veteran to the room.

Derek Carr News
Friday, July 10, 9:13 AM
In an appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football on Friday, retired quarterback Derek Carr said that multiple NFL teams have reached out to him this offseason about a comeback, but it would take a "special situation" for him to come out of retirement in 2026. "I'll never say never. It would take a special situation," Carr said. "There were multiple teams that reached out to me this offseason, and I won't say who or how, but they reached out. Just gave them my interest on what I wanted to do and all those things. They were good, solid football teams, but a couple of them in some different situations." The only scenario in which Carr would even consider coming back would have to be with a Super Bowl contender, but there aren't many of those teams in need of a QB. The former second-rounder in 2014 by the Raiders, Carr spent nine years with the Raiders before spending his final two campaigns with the New Orleans Saints before retiring abruptly last offseason. The 35-year-old finished his 11-year NFL career with a 65.1% completion percentage, 41,245 passing yards, 257 touchdowns, and 112 interceptions in 169 regular-season starts for the Raiders and Saints.
