What happened: Teddy Bridgewater told the Detroit Lions he plans to step away. The decision arrived during preseason roster construction.

Why it matters: Bridgewater has made 65 NFL starts and thrown for 15,120 career yards. That experience made him valuable insurance for a team with contender expectations, even if he never needed to play.
