On Sunday, the Detroit Lions were hit with news that veteran backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was stepping away from the club, likely with plans for calling it a career.
This meant that that there was an opening behind starter Jared Goff for the backup position to compete for along with Luke Altmyer. The Lions filled that void on Sunday afternoon, as they announced a one-year contract for nine-year veteran Josh Dobbs.
According to reports, the deal is worth $1.425 million, and includes $475,000 in fully guaranteed money.
