Detroit Lions add a second Green Bay Packer in free agency, backup QB Tim Boyle

The Detroit Lions added a quarterback on Day 1 of free agency, and it was not — officially, at least — Jared Goff.

The Lions agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday with former Green Bay Packers backup Tim Boyle, a source told the Free press. NFL Network reported the deal is worth $2.5 million total, with $1.5 million guaranteed.

Boyle played sparingly in three seasons with the Packers after making the team as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Kentucky in 2018. He was nontendered as a restricted free agent this week.
