Buccaneers’ Teddy Bridgewater signing comes years after he was their Tom Brady Plan B
NY Post
A Teddy Bridgewater-Buccaneers union has apparently been years in the making.
That’s what general manager Jason Licht suggested Tuesday when speaking about Tampa Bay’s interest in signing the veteran quarterback, sharing how Bridgewater, 32, was an alternative option at the position in 2020 had Tom Brady not taken his talents south from New England.
“We had him in here in 2014 before the draft, there might’ve been a situation where we would’ve taken him if he had fell a little further,” Licht said of the former Louisville product, who was taken 32nd overall by the Vikings that year.
“And, you know, a few years ago, he was what was behind door No. 2. So, we talked about that today on the sideline. We ended up with Tom Brady, but now we have Teddy on the roster.”
Brady, now 48, signed with Tampa Bay in a 2020 blockbuster move after 20 seasons and six Super Bowl wins with the Patriots.
He played for the Buccaneers for three seasons, winning what would be his seventh and final Super Bowl in February 2021.
