Bridgewater, a native of Miami and a seven-year NFL veteran, played for four NFL teams (Broncos, Carolina) during his career. PanthersResidents of New Orleans The SaintsMinnesota vikings), and voted for the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl.
He played the entire 2021 NFL season with the Broncos, throwing for 3,052 yards, 18 touchdowns and 7 INTs in 14 starts.
Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa missed five starts with injury last year and the team lost three games, with Jacoby Brisset taking over the starting role. One of the two wins came against the Baltimore Ravens, with Tagovailoa coming into play after the break. If Tagovailoa loses again, Miami will force Bridgewater to intervene, and the veteran has proven his ability to get on the field and win games. So fear not: Miami still has a chance to stay competitive with Bridgewater in the center.
