Allen Park — After months of flirtation, the Detroit Lions are signing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed the pending addition to The Detroit News.
Bridgewater had visited the Lions late last month, meeting with several staffers, including offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The next day, coach Dan Campbell explained the team's thinking regarding the possible addition.
"We're (in) year three and I think we're in a much better position. You just want to know that you are in the best hands possible," Campbell said "... It's also the competition. It doesn't mean that (backup) Nate (Sudfeld) is out of anything if we go this route and it works out.
