Detroit Lions sign former MSU QB Connor Cook to futures deal

Happy New Year! The Detroit Lions started the new year by signing a new quarterback to the team in the hopes he can compete for a roster spot in 2019. It already looked sour for former developmental backup Jake Rudock when the Lions did not sign him to a futures deal when given the opportunity to do so, but now that they’re officially bringing in new blood we can probably close the book on the former sixth rounder out of Michigan. The signing of Connor Cook to a futures deal likely isn’t the only move the team makes at quarterback for 2019, but it’s a start.
