Going into the offseason, it appeared the Detroit Lions’ quarterback position could be in serious flux. Not only was drafting a quarterback a serious possibility with one of the two first-round picks the Lions have, but both backup quarterbacks were not under contract for the 2022 season. So if they wanted, the Lions could completely revamp a quarterback room that didn’t exactly impress in 2021.
The Lions did not choose to do that.
Though they remain very much in the market for a quarterback in this year’s draft, Detroit opted to run things back with their reserves, re-signing both Tim Boyle and David Blough.
