Teddy Bridgewater returns to his native city of Miami. After the Broncos signed former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, their starting quarterback became a free agent. The Broncs had no problem letting him go. Just as the athlete was available on the market, the Phins wasted no time in acquiring his talents. Both sides have agreed upon a one-year deal. 

It seems like the 29-year-old will be the Dolphins’ second quarterback. He will be the backup to Miami’s number one QB Tua Tagovailoa. Bridgewater is capable of starting games as well. If he plays his card right, we could see him start for the Dolphins soon.

Teddy Bridgewater before joining Miami

Teddy Bridgewater will enter his eighth season in the NFL this year. The Minnesota Vikings originally drafted the quarterback. He was a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft. Bridgewater was selected in the Pro Bowl in 2015. But 2016 was a setback for the athlete as he suffered a knee injury.

Injuries have always haunted the QB. He suffered a deviating head injury in December. After a scary collision during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Bridgewater’s last season ended on injured reserve. But he is not done just yet. 

“Yeah, that’s the nature of the business. You survive, man.” Bridgewater adds, I’ve been through the NFL offseason the past couple of years, and I understand things happen, decisions are made, and it’s business. But I’m still gonna survive, man. No matter where or how it happens, I’ve just got to have that mindset always.”

The 29-year-old started 14 games with Denver in which he got a 7-7 record. Despite missing the final two games due to concussion, Bridgewater scored 18 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He also threw for 3,052 yards and completed 66.9 percent of his passes. 

The new contract with the Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have signed the former Denver Broncos quarterback for a one-year deal. Reports say that Teddy Bridgewater signed a contract worth $6.5 million guaranteed and up to $10 million in incentives. 

Bridgewater is a force to be reckoned with on the field. For now, it seems like the Dolphins are going to add Bridgewater as their second quarterback. Miami will be starting with their current QB Tua Tagovailoa. But Teddy Bridgewater is a welcome addition to the squad. How do you think Bridgewater will perform with his new team?
