The Facts: The Detroit Lions are re-signing Boyle to a one-year, $2 million deal, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The backup QB gets $1.75 million guaranteed and can earn an extra $500,000 in incentives.
Diehards Line:
After signing a one-year deal with the Lions last year, Boyle appeared in five games last year with three starts. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 526 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions, finishing with a 63.5 passer rating. Entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018, Boyle spent his first three seasons with the Packers. He appeared in 11 games for Green Bay. The Lions appear content to have Jared Goff enter 2022 as the club’s QB1, but Detroit could also take a passer in the draft to become the team’s quarterback of the future.
