Teddy Bridgewater has his eyes set on an NFL comeback.
The quarterback retired from the NFL at age 31 after the 2023 season with plans to coach high school football. Bridgewater did just that, coaching 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 the NFL Network “The Insiders” who is looking for a professional comeback. But only in the short term.

“My team knows this is the plan,” he said. “We wanted to win a state championship and then coach back into the league, see what happens, and then come back in February in the offseason, continue to coach high school football. We’ll see how it plays out.”
Bridgewater did not say if he had been in contact with any specific teams.
Bridgewater, a 2014 first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings, also spent time with the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Miami DolphinsDenver Broncos and Detroit Lions.
While it’s unclear if Bridgewater has spoken with 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.
