Now that free agency has officially started around the NFL, signings and trades can be made official.
One reported deal during the league’s legal tampering period had Teddy Bridgewater re-signing with the New Orleans Saints to be Drew Brees’ backup — turning down a larger offer from the Miami Dolphins in the process.
Given that said deal has not been made official, it now looks like Miami is making a late push to sign Bridgewater.

It was surprising that Bridgewater would turn down an opportunity to start in favor of backing up one of the game’s all-time greats.
