Lions linked to a pair of strange Jared Goff replacements in Eagles and Buccaneers QBs originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Detroit Lions have had a lot of success with the Jared Goff and Dan Campbell pairing. But there's a chance that things continue to go wrong as they did in 2025.
So, what happens to the Lions if the 2026 season is a dud? Well, it might be an unlikely future, but ESPN's Dan Graziano linked the Lions to two very unexpected quarterbacks who could replace Goff in Detroit.
As part of Graziano's "long shot" prediction, he linked the Lions to Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion QB Jalen Hurts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl QB Baker Mayfield as possible Goff replacements.
"Frustrated by their inability to cash in on what seemed like a Super Bowl window, the Lions decide to break things up," Graziano writes. "They move on from Goff and bring in a veteran whose situation elsewhere fell apart, such as Baker Mayfield or Jalen Hurts."
