Teddy Bridgewater has his eyes on an NFL comeback.
The quarterback retired from the NFL at the age of 31 after the 2023 season with the plan to coach high school football. Bridgewater did just that and coached his former high school, Miami Northwestern, to a state championship in his first season at the helm.
But the 32-year-old revealed Tuesday during NFL Network’s “The Insiders” that he’s looking toward a professional comeback. But only for the short-term.

“My team knows that’s the plan,” he said. “We wanted to win a state championship and then coach goes back to the league, see what happens, and then come back February in the offseason, continue coaching high school football. We’ll see how it plays out.”
Bridgewater didn’t say whether he had been in touch with any specific teams.
A 2014 first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings, Bridgewater also spent time with the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions.
While it’s unclear if Bridgewater has spoken to any teams, there are a few that are QB-needy and could use some depth with the playoffs quickly approaching.
In 79 career games, Bridgewater went 33-32, threw for 15,120 yards, 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.
