The Facts: The Jets still haven’t announced the signing of Bridgewater. But they will. A league source told PFT that Bridgewater has passed his physical, and the Jets will announce that he has signed.
Diehards Line:
Bridgewater missed the entire 2016 season after suffering a serious knee injury in training camp, and he played only sparingly in one game in 2017. Whether he plays in 2018 remains to be seen, as he’s joining a very crowded quarterback room: The Jets have re-signed last year’s starter, Josh McCown, and they also have quarterbacks Christian Hackenberg, Bryce Petty and Joel Stave under contract. And, of course, as PFT's Michael David Smith notes, Saturday’s trade with the Colts means the Jets are nearly certain to take a quarterback with the third overall pick in the draft. So, as Smith summed up, "Bridgewater getting back onto the field in 2018 is no sure thing."
