A 2014 first-round pick at quarterback is set to retire following the Detroit Lions 2023 season. The Lions have two first-round picks at quarterback on their roster, Jared Goff and Teddy Bridgewater.
They might not need both of them on the roster next season when the Lions 2023 third-round pick, Hendon Hooker, returns from injury. It looks like Bridgewater isn’t planning to stay in Detroit next season.
