Teddy Bridgewater News
Monday, January 5, 7:08 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who will be a free agent in March, said he wants to continue playing but hasn't talked to the team about a potential return, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Bridgewater only appeared in four games (zero starts) in his first year with Tampa in 2025, going 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The 33-year-old veteran would be backing up Baker Mayfield again if he re-signs with the team for the 2026 season. Bridgewater isn't a terrible backup option for teams looking for QB depth this offseason, but he probably isn't going to get any realistic looks to compete for a starting gig. The 11-year pro will be a long shot for any fantasy value if he comes back next season. Bridgewater hasn't started a game in the NFL since 2022 with the Miami Dolphins.

Kenny Pickett News
Sunday, March 8, 8:32 PM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler says a name to "potentially monitor" as the new backup quarterback for the Carolina Panthers is Las Vegas Raiders QB Kenny Pickett. The Panthers are expected to move veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton this offseason, so they'd be in the market for a backup behind starter Bryce Young going into next season. The 27-year-old Pickett appeared in six games (two starts) for the Raiders last season, going 28-for-45 passing for 188 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The former 20th overall pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022 out of Pittsburgh quickly flamed out as a potential starter in the NFL. With a new coaching staff and future franchise QB coming in this offseason in Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, a change of scenery is probably best for Pickett at this juncture. He won't be anywhere on the fantasy radar in single-year leagues in 2026.
