Bridgewater: Comments about Panthers were 'taken out of context'

Teddy Bridgewater reached out to the Carolina Panthers to clear up his comments about the organization's practice methods.

The quarterback said earlier this month that the Panthers barely practiced their two-minute or red-zone offense while he was with the team, prompting questions about offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

Now with the Denver Broncos, Bridgewater told the media Monday he reached out to Brady as his comments were perceived differently than he intended.

"I am in Denver now. It was taken out of context what I said. Joe (Brady) is my guy. I texted him," Bridgewater said, according to Troy Renck of Denver7. "I don't have much to say about last year."

Bridgewater was only given a one-year run in Carolina before being traded to Denver this offseason. Despite his time with the Panthers being shorter than expected, the 28-year-old said he's looking forward to a fresh start.

The Broncos will be Bridgewater's third team in as many years. He's set to split reps evenly with Drew Lock as the two battle for the starting quarterback job.
