What happened: Detroit is signing Josh Dobbs to a one-year, $1.425 million contract after Teddy Bridgewater informed the team he planned to step away, with retirement likely. Dobbs previously spent time on Detroit's practice squad in 2022.
Why it matters: The move fills Detroit's veteran backup vacancy before the 2026 preseason. Bridgewater had been set to serve as Jared Goff's No. 2.
By the numbers: The $475,000 guarantee represents one-third of Dobbs' $1.425 million contract.
What to watch: Dobbs' preseason reps will show how quickly he can absorb the offense and settle behind Goff.
