The Detroit Lions have made a significant move in their quarterback room, signing former Denver Broncos QB Zach Wilson. The 24-year-old quarterback, who was originally drafted by the New York Jets in 2021 as the second overall pick, now joins the Lions in what many see as a key addition to their roster heading into the next NFL season.

 

Wilson, who spent time with the Broncos after being traded in 2023, brings valuable experience and potential to Detroit’s offense. Known for his strong arm and athleticism, Wilson struggled to find consistent success during his time with the Jets but showed flashes of his ability as a backup with Denver. The Lions see this as an opportunity to give Wilson a fresh start and potentially develop him into a solid backup or even a future starter.

 

“We are excited to welcome Zach Wilson to the Detroit Lions,” said Lions general manager Brad Holmes in a statement. “He has the physical tools and the drive to succeed, and we believe he can contribute to our team in a positive way. Our coaching staff is eager to work with him and help him reach his full potential.”

 

Wilson will compete for a backup role behind starter Jared Goff, offering depth and a potential long-term solution at the quarterback position if needed. The signing adds another intriguing layer to a Lions team that has steadily improved and is looking to make a deeper playoff run in 2024.

 

The terms of Wilson’s contract were not immediately disclosed, but the move is expected to bolster the Lions’ quarterback options as they prepare for the upcoming season. Fans are excited to see how Wilson adjusts to Detroit’s system and what impact he can have on the team’s success.
