What happened: Teddy Bridgewater is stepping away from the Detroit Lions during training camp. Detroit moved to replace him with a veteran quarterback on a one-year, $1.425 million contract.
Why it matters: The change resets the Lions' backup competition during the preseason. The guarantee signals more than a camp-body commitment.
By the numbers: The contract guarantees $475,000 of $1.425 million, exactly one-third of its total value.
What to watch: Watch how quickly the newcomer joins team drills and claims backup reps.
