Allen Park — The Lions checked another item off the team's offseason shopping list, re-securing backup quarterback Tim Boyle with a one-year, $2 million contract.
Initially signed by the Lions last March after spending his first three years in Green Bay, Boyle missed the first half of the season due to a broken thumb suffered in the preseason.
He returned Week 11, in time to make his first career start against the Cleveland Browns. He would end up starting two more games late in the year while Goff battled COVID and a knee injury.
"I think you're looking for a guy at that (backup quarterback) position that can move the offense," Lions coach Dan Campbell said last month at the scouting combine.
