Bridgewater, 33, said the fire to compete and continue his NFL career was just too great after a brief retirement.
“That fire to just compete and go out there and just excel and help others as well,” he said. “I’ve always been that type of player who just wants to see others have success and I always felt like as a quarterback we play a huge role in others’ success.
“If I can just go out there and help a sixth-round wide receiver have a four or five-year career or an undrafted free agent get four or five years out of the league from just competing with him throughout the spring, preseason, training camp, if we get reps in the regular season, that’s just something that I look forward to doing.”
