ALLEN PARK -- Bob Quinn's future is officially tied to the fate of Matt Patricia.
The Detroit Lions announced Friday they've extended Quinn's deal. They did not announce the terms, but did say it will put the general manager under contract for the same number of years as Patricia.
Team president Rod Wood declined to specify the length of Patricia's deal. He just said it was "long term." That probably means five years, or through 2022.
"The contract extension for Bob is most deserving as he continues to lead and improve our football team," Wood said in a statement released through the team.
