Professional career

Philadelphia Eagles

Bridges was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round (185th overall) in the 2003 NFL draft, but was inactive for the entire season. [1]

Arizona Cardinals (first stint)

Bridges was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Cardinals on September 6, 2004, and made his first ever NFL start on October 10 at the San Francisco 49ers. He spent two seasons with the Cardinals.

Carolina Panthers (first stint)

Bridges was signed by the Carolina Panthers as a free agent and started in the final 14 games of the 2006 season. He was released by the Panthers on February 25, 2009.

Washington Redskins

Bridges was signed by the Washington Redskins as a free agent on May 3, 2009. He was released during final cuts on September 5. [2]

Arizona Cardinals (second stint)

Bridges re-signed with the Cardinals on September 8, 2009. [3] He played in all 48 regular-season games from 2009 to 2011, starting 16. He injured his thumb in the 2012 preseason, and was placed on injured reserve. He was waived in November after reaching an injury settlement. [4]

Carolina Panthers (second stint)

Bridges was signed mid-season by the Panthers on November 14, 2012, "as a stop-gap for their struggling offensive line." [4] He was released three weeks later. [5]

Personal life

Bridges was arrested prior to the start of training camp for the 2007 season and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman in a strip club parking lot in Charlotte, North Carolina. After a trial in November 2007, he was found guilty and given a 60-day suspended sentence and one year unsupervised probation; he was also ordered to pay a $500 fine and do 60 hours of community service. The Panthers suspended him for two games for the incident. [6]

On Sunday, December 7, 2008, Bridges was arrested in Ballantyne, Charlotte, North Carolina and charged with simple assault and battery and communicating threats. The arrest stemmed from a confrontation at a local restaurant. The incident started when Bridges ordered a bottle of Dom Pérignon (wine) from the restaurant bar Saturday night and shook it up, causing the champagne to spew and get other patrons wet. The restaurant manager alleges that Bridges then got into a verbal confrontation with another patron and then a physical confrontation with the bouncer, at which time the police were called. Bridges admits that he shook and opened the champagne bottle, but denies any physical confrontation. He was released on $2,500 bond. [7] He was inactive for the Panthers' game on December 8, 2008, but it is unclear if he will face any more punishment from either the Panthers or the NFL. [8]
