JUST IN : coach Dan Campbell finally announce consideration of a new quarterback…….Read more
The Detroit Lions currently have second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker as the backup to Jared Goff, but they’ve been linked to a veteran passer that just hit free agency.Reports surfaced Sunday that the team may have interest in adding recently waived quarterback Daniel Jones, as the Lions were listed amongst a group of other teams. Jones reportedly has interest in joining a playoff contender for the remainder of this season.
Jones was waived by the New York Giants last week and officially cleared waivers, meaning he is free to sign with any other team at this present juncture. On Tuesday, coach Dan Campbell said that his name has come up in conversations, but there have been no serious discussions about adding him to the roster.
“We haven’t really talked about that,” Campbell said. “The name’s come up, but it’s not like we’ve sat down and talked. So I don’t want to give you a yes or no.”
As it stands, Hooker is the lone backup to Goff. Hooker is in his first active season, as he spent most of last year rehabbing a knee injury suffered in college. Because he was rehabbing as a rookie, this summer offered him his first chance to participate in an NFL training camp and the
preseason.
