The Detroit Lions signed free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Monday.
Bridgewater will be the backup for starter Jared Goff. The team also has QB Nate Sudfeld and rookie QB Hendon Hooker on the roster, though he's not expected to play in 2023 due to recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions were interested in Bridgewater for a backup role since the spring, even offering him a contract in April. Bridgewater decided to hold out for a starting role, and when that did not surface, Bridgewater went back to Detroit. Bridgewater is heading into his tenth season as an NFL player. His latest stint was with the Miami Dolphins, where he backed up Tua Tagovailoa.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields believes he is one of the greatest running QBs in all of NFL history. He named Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, Steve Young, and himself.
There's nothing wrong with this line of thinking. I'd rather my favorite QB think he was the best over being like, "Well, let me list x amount of guys who are better than me."
Fields ran for just under 1150 yards last season - the second-most for a QB in history (Jackson had 1206 in 2019). And you could argue that he may have broken Jackson's record had he played in Week 17. But, I think Fields is putting himself there a little early, but it's also fine for him to be a little cocky. It's my favorite QB trait. more qb news:
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy recently began throwing after his elbow surgery. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he hasn't specifically seen Purdy throw yet, but that he's "on pace."
It is not yet known if Purdy will be recovered enough to participate in training camp, but if he's truly on pace, he should be ready to start come September. Trey Lance and Sam Darnold are the other QBs on the 49ers' roster.

Chad Henne has been Patrick Mahomes' backup quarterback for five seasons, and now he's going out on top, retiring after the Kansas City Chiefs' latest Super Bowl win. One of his highlights? Coming in for Mahomes in the divisional round against the Jacksonville Jaguars and keeping the offense running while Mahomes got treatment on his injured ankle. Henne led a 98-yard drive ending in a touchdown. more Qb news:
On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance told reporters he'd be cleared soon after undergoing two surgeries on his broken ankle. Lance is expected to be a full-go by OTAs. This is good news for the Niners, who are expected to be rid of Jimmy Garoppolo soon and have Brock Purdy out for at least six months.
Speaking of 49ers QBs, rookie Brock Purdy is currently awaiting second opinions on his injured UCL - a repair vs. reconstruction surgery will determine the time he will be able to return to football activities. Purdy told reporters on Tuesday that he will make a final decision soon.

Lamar Jackson finally broke his silence to address his knee issue that's been plaguing him all season. Unwritten in this tweet is that Jackson doesn't sound like he'll be back anytime should, should the Baltimore Ravens advance to the next round. Jackson was not present at Ravens practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley appears to be in line to be the starter for Baltimore this weekend; he threw during Thursday's session, something he didn't do last week.

With Tua Tagovailoa remaining in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Miami Dolphins are preparing to start rookie QB Skylar Thompson in the Wild Card round against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike McDaniel remains mum on Tagovailoa's status after suffering a series of concussions this season, most recently on Christmas Day. Prayers up to Thompson, who faces a tough Buffalo defense this weekend. ??

The Chicago Bears have the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but they already have their QB of the future in Justin Fields. General Manager Ryan Poles said he wouldn't rule out taking a QB with the first pick but would have to be "blown away." This opens up a potential trade for the first pick or taking a much-needed position player. Justin Fields was one of the most flashy quarterbacks of 2022, nearly breaking Lamar Jackson's record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season. But, like Jackson, Poles stated that Fields needs to grow as a passer. The Bears would be stupid to move on from Fields and instead need to build around him. Chicago can benefit from picking top offensive linemen and/or weapons to surround Fields with in this year's draft rather than looking to replace him.

Merry Christmas to me! The Indianapolis Colts are benching quarterback Matt Ryan - yes, again - for Nick Foles. Foles will be their third quarterback to start this season. Definitely not what they had planned.
The first time Ryan was benched, rookie Sam Ehlinger took over, and head coach Frank Reich was later fired. Then, the Colts hired Jeff Saturday for some reason, went back to Ryan, and blew the biggest lead in NFL history. Foles, their last hope, is a former Super Bowl MVP and has only played two snaps this season - the final snaps of a 24-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Foles said on Wednesday that he had no frustration towards the Colts for not turning to him earlier in the season. The Colts take on Justin Herbert, an actual good QB, and the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. more Qb news:
