Teddy Bridgewater is coming onto the Bucs roster late in the process but what he brings is more than just his talent on the field.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed journeyman backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Tuesday to add some veteran depth to the roster this offseason. Starter Baker Mayfield suffered a hand contusion last week but returned to practice on Tuesday and is expected to recover fully.

After getting suspended from coaching at his high school alma mater, Teddy Bridgewater defended his actions on Wednesday after recently signing with the Buccaneers.
