The Detroit Lions have indicated they expect to have a quarterback battle behind starter Jared Goff during the 2025 offseason, but could they explore their trade options if neither one of their backup candidates wows them in training camp?
The Lions signed Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension last offseason that ties him to the team through the 2028 season, so there is little question he will open the forthcoming season as their starting quarterback without a surprise or injury occurring.
Behind Goff, though, the Lions are planning to let incumbent backup Hendon Hooker— a 2023 third-round pick — duke it out with veteran free-agent signing Kyle Allen for the No. 2 role on the depth chart in the months leading up to the start of the regular season.
