The Detroit Lions currently have three quarterbacks on the roster in training camp in Jared Goff, Hendon Hooker, and Kyle Allen.<\/p>\n
However, For the Win’s Cory Woodroof<\/a> doesn’t believe the Lions are done adding to the position group. He predicts Detroit will sign free agent quarterback Carson Wentz to back up Goff.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n “With Hendon Hooker still a relative unknown as a backup quarterback, Detroit could add Wentz to give them a little more peace of mind behind quarterback Jared Goff. Wentz is still a good backup in most any offense,” Woodroof wrote.<\/p>\n Wentz spent the 2024 season as Patrick Mahomes’ backup with the Kansas City Chiefs, and hasn’t been a full-time starting quarterback since 2022.<\/p>\n Though his days as a starter are likely over, Wentz can still be a solid backup and fill in as a starter if needed.<\/p>\n The Lions could use a more experienced signal-caller as the backup behind Goff, and Wentz would provide that. The 32-year-old has started 94 games in his nine-year career thus far and has a winning record of 47-46-1. He even earned a second-team All-Pro nod in 2017 with the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Hooker is currently slated to be Detroit’s No.2 quarterback, but his lack of in-game experience is incredibly concerning. If general manager Brad Holmes wants to find a new backup signal-caller and demote Hooker to the QB3 role, Wentz would be a solid option who will come for cheap.<\/p>\n MORE DETROIT LIONS NEWS<\/p>\n Aidan Hutchinson taking Lions rookie under his wing<\/a><\/p>\n Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown showcase elite work ethic at Lions’ training camp<\/a><\/p>\n Detroit Lions urged to sign $110 million castoff thanks to questions on defense<\/a><\/p>\n
