The Detroit Lions bolstered their backup options at quarterback and wide receiver.
Detroit signed Matt Cassel on Monday Kris Letang Jersey , adding depth behind Matthew Stafford. The Lions also re-signed restricted free agent TJ Jones, giving Stafford another target in the passing game.
Cassel played sparingly the past two seasons in Tennessee and the Titans released him earlier this year, making him an unrestricted free agent. The 13-year veteran also has played for Dallas Eric Staal Jersey , Buffalo, Minnesota, Kansas City and New England.
He started 15 games with the Patriots in 2008 when Lions general manager Bob Quinn and coach Matt Patricia worked for the franchise. Cassel has started 81 games in his career Adam Larsson Jersey , completing 59 percent of his passes for 17,449 yards with 104 touchdowns and 81 interceptions.
Jake Rudock, drafted by Detroit in the sixth round two years ago Dan Hamhuis Jersey Kids , and Cassel are expecting to compete to be Stafford's backup.
Jones had career highs with 30 receptions and 399 yards receiving last season and caught a touchdown pass. Detroit drafted him in the sixth round in 2014. He has 45 career receptions for 624 yards and two TDs.
The Bills have rotated quarterbacks AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman with the first team throughout the offseason and head coach Sean McDermott said on Sunday that they’d keep doing things the same way if everyone is healthy.
McCarron isn’t healthy right now, but the team is still rotating quarterbacks. McDermott said on Monday, via multiple reporters Jacob Markstrom Jersey , that rookie Josh Allen will work with the starters while Peterman works with the second team in a reversal of how things went in practice on Sunday.
McCarron is out after getting hurt in Friday’s preseason game. He is getting a second opinion on what was reported to be a hairline fracture to his collarbone.
Allen was 9-of-13 for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Browns and McDermott called the outing a “step in the right direction.” McDermott didn’t say what he’d need to see for Allen to keep walking all the way into the starting job, but said Monday that the competition remains open for the two healthy quarterbacks.
