The Detroit Lions may not be done looking at reserve quarterbacks before the start of the 2019 regular season. As first reported by NFL insider Adam Caplan, the Lions are signing former NFL quarterback Luis Perez.
In eight games with the Birmingham Iron, Perez completed 52.3 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and six interceptions. Though those aren’t exactly eye-popping stats, his performance was good enough to earn him a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he was waived after just a month on the roster.
So why are the Lions kicking the tires on Perez this late in the preseason?
