In case there was any doubt that general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia are tied at the hip, the Detroit Lions on Friday made it contractually so.
The Lions announced a contract extension for Quinn that the team said will match the length of Patricia's deal signed earlier this week. Terms of the contract were not immediately available, but ESPN reported the deal runs through 2022.
Both Quinn and Lions president Rod Wood declined comment on the length of Patricia's deal at Patricia's introductory news conference Wednesday, and Quinn brushed off a question about whether his deal would be extended as well.
