Open Extended ReactionsTAMPA, Fla. -- Veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater signed with the Buccaneers on Tuesday after meeting with the team and passing his physical. For the Bucs, Bridgewater helps shore up the quarterback room, with Michael Pratt dealing with a back injury. Licht also noted that Bridgewater was very much on the team's radar during its 2020 pursuit of then free-agent Tom Brady. He was the starting quarterback for new Bucs defensive line coach Charlie Strong when Strong was the head coach at Louisville. Last month, Bridgewater was suspended from his position as the high school's coach for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to his players.
