PALM BEACH, Fla. — In another spring of unprecedented quarterback movement, when at least eight teams — a full quarter of the NFL — have changed signal callers since the end of the season, the Detroit Lions are moving forward with Jared Goff as their starter.
Lions general manager Brad Holmes reiterated his faith in Goff in a 30-plus-minute interview with beat reporters at the league's annual meeting Tuesday, but stopped short of declaring a quarterback off limits for his team with the No. 2 pick in April's draft.
"Jared played good football for us late in the year, so we have a lot of optimism about Jared going forward, so we have a quarterback," Holmes said.
