Teddy Bridgewater News
Tuesday, March 10, 3:21 PM
Veteran free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is signing an undisclosed deal with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Bridgewater will return to Motown after serving as Jared Goff's backup in 2023 and 2024. The 33-year-old 11-year NFL veteran hasn't started a game since 2022 with the Miami Dolphins and has gone 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards in five appearances over the last three seasons. Bridgewater was the backup to Baker Mayfield with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025. The former first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 out of Louisville has plenty of experience in the league, but the Lions' offense will have very limited upside if Goff gets injured and Bridgewater is forced into a starting role. He's completed 66.3% of his 2,082 pass attempts in his career since entering the league in 2014.

Mac Jones News
Thursday, June 25, 10:29 AM
San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones (shoulder), who was sidelined with a sore right shoulder during the team's spring program, threw passes during Tuesday's session at Tight End University, which is run by 49ers tight end George Kittle, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. Jones kept the Niners' offense afloat last year with Brock Purdy missing extended time due to a foot injury. The 27-year-old former 15th overall pick by the New England Patriots in 2021 out of the University of Alabama completed a career-high 69.6% of his pass attempts for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 11 games played (eight starts) in his first year in the Bay Area. All signs point to Jones being a full-go for the start of training camp at the end of July. After a strong 2025 season, teams had interest in trading for Jones, but the Niners put an exorbitant price tag on his head and appear ready to run it back with him as QB insurance for the injury-prone Purdy. Obviously, Jones won't have much fantasy appeal in 2026 unless Purdy misses more time due to injuries.
