On Saturday morning, news broke that the Detroit Lions had given free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater a significant offer. Bridgewater is still considering his options, and it’s entirely possible he doesn’t make that decision until after the NFL Draft.
Recently, the Lions signed Nate Sudfeld to be their backup, and seemed to suggest that they were happy with that move in free agency. While it’s unclear if Bridgewater’s offer was given before Sudfeld re-signed or not, it does highlight the team’s desire to upgrade their quarterback room, which is something general manager Brad Holmes has not been shy about this offseason.
