Free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is signing with the Detroit Lions, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.
The signing will reunite Bridgewater with Lions head coach Dan Campbell, who was the Saints' assistant head coach/tight ends coach when Bridgewater was in New Orleans.
The deal is expected to be finalized this week, a source said.
Bridgewater adds reliable depth as a solid option behind Jared Goff, who is Detroit's clear-cut starter. The Lions were looking for the highest level of insurance in bringing in another backup.
