<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jared-goff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jared Goff</a> has received disconcerting news from his team’s front office. In preparation for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a> have signed a new quarterback to contend with the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rams</a> player for the starting role.



In 2021, the Lions opted to part ways with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew Stafford</a>, securing multiple draft picks from the Rams and substituting the quarterback with Jared Goff. It was a gamble that, up to this point, has only proven beneficial for Los Angeles.

In two years with the Lions, Jared Goff has really struggled to achieve success. For oddsmakers, Detroit is the strongest squad in the NFC North, and the quarterback must live up to the expectations to keep his job for at least one more season.



<h2>Lions put pressure on Jared Goff by signing a new quarterback</h2>



Even though Jared Goff’s 2022 season was not a disaster, the Lions know he can do better. As of today, Detroit is seen as one of the strongest teams in the NFC, and they surely will want to live up to the expectations.



In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Lions selected Hendon Hooker, who’s poised to be Goff’s backup. However, he’s recovering from a knee injury, so Detroit decided to sign another quarterback to cover him during his absence.



A few days ago, the NFC North team hosted Teddy Bridgewater for a cisit. Now, the team has signed the former first-round pick to challenge Jared Goff for the starting quarterback role.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230728#BUS#36983"></div>


While Bridgewater isn’t slated to take the starting role, he could pose a significant challenge for Goff. Teddy spent the 2022 season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dolphins</a>, where he participated in just five games, completing 49 passes out of 79 attempts for 683 yards, four touchdowns, and an equal number of interceptions.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jared-goff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jared Goff</a> has played two seasons for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a>, and the team is already putting some extra pressure on him. Ahead of the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> campaign, the NFC North team has hosted a former 1st-round pick to compete with the quarterback.



In 2021, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a> decided to move on from Jared Goff. They traded the quarterback, alongside two first-round picks and one third-round pick, to Detroit for Matthew Stafford.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230724#BUS#34615"></div>


This move paid off for the Rams, who secured victory in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> LVI mostly thanks to Stafford. On the other side, the Lions have struggled to compete, and it seems like this year will be Goff’s last chance to prove himself to the team.



<h2>Lions host former 1st-round pick to compete against Jared Goff</h2>



When the Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the Rams for Jared Goff and three draft picks, they really thought they won. However, Los Angeles immediately got a Super Bowl with their new quarterback, while Detroit has not even made it to playoffs since this move happened.



Surprisingly, the Lions are seen as the favorites to win the NFC North this year. According to oddsmakers, they are only behind the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eagles</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cowboys</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> to get the Conference title.



It looks like this will be Goff’s last chance to prove himself. He has been surrounded by the team’s front office with a lot of talented players; however, they don’t want the quarterback to feel too comfortable. So now, they have hosted a former 1st-round pick to put pressure on Jared.



Dan Campbell, the team’s head coached, confirmed to reporters that they hosted veteran free agent Teddy Bridgewater for a visit Monday. The former 32nd overall pick wants to play the 2023 season, and the Lions are interested in him to compete against Goff to lead their offense.



“You just want to know that you are in the best hands possible,” the head coach said of the team’s interest in Bridgewater, per The Detroit News. “It’s also the competition. It doesn’t mean that [current backup] Nate [Sudfeld] is out of anything if we go this route and it works out. You’ll feel good about whoever comes out of the fire … to help you along the way.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230721#BUS#32893"></div>


According to ESPN, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Detroit-Lions-could-sign-a-veteran-quarterback-before-the-draft-20230409-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bridgewater received a ‘strong offer’ from the Lions in April</a>. Now, they have reignited their interest, and if everything goes as planned, it appears that he will receive another opportunity to play this year.

NFL News: Lions put pressure on Jared Goff by hosting former 1st-round pick

Being patient has paid off for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love">Jordan Love</a>, who is preparing to enter his first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season as the starting quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a>. It took Aaron Rodgers to force his way out, but it’s still rewarding.



The Utah State product was selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, which proved that the Packers were preparing for an eventual departure of the four-time NFL MVP.



Love didn’t saw the field that much though, so this will be a challenging year for the 24-year-old. That’s why a former NFL executive believes a veteran quarterback could be a great backup for Love.



<h2>Former Vikings GM proposes Teddy Bridgewater as backup for Jordan Love in Green Bay</h2>



Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman suggested free agent QB Teddy Bridgewater as a potential candidate to backup Jordan Love at the Green Bay Packers:



(Transcript via ClutchPoints)



“The other team is the Green Bay Packers, who are starting the Jordan Love era,” Spielman of The 33rd Team wrote earlier in the week. “Behind him, they have rookie Sean Clifford, who they drafted in the fifth round but many viewed as a college free agent, and Danny Etling, who was a free agent from LSU a few years ago. Teams will be patient with their young quarterbacks, but don’t be surprised if one of these teams signs Bridgewater.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230628#BUS#19677"></div>




The other team Spielman is talking about are the Los Angeles Chargers, where Bridgewater could act as backup to Justin Herbert. While Spielman was the one who drafted him 32nd overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, the 30-year-old proved to be a reliable emergency option, and he’s still in the open market.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2021-nfl-when-does-the-season-start-20210513-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 NFL Regular Season</a> is looming around and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/denver-broncos-t99051" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver Broncos</a> know it. While fans can’t wait for the real competition to begin, the offseason and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2021-nfl-preseason-schedule-dates-times-and-tv-channels-of-all-games-20210802-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preseason</a> havebeen crucial for Vic Fangio to make a big decision regarding the starting quarterback role.
The speculation is over, the Broncos have confirmed Teddy Bridgewater will be the starter over Drew Lock. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/minnesota-vikings-t98251" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/carolina-panthers-t92953" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> QB will face a huge opportunity to revitalize his career.
On the other hand, the University of Missouri product will have to wait for his chance and see if he can win the job again. Obviously, fans had a lot to say on social media and reacted with hilarious memes.
<h2>Fans react to Teddy Bridgewater beatingDrew Lock for Broncos’ starting QB job</h2>
With the first week of the regular season drawing nearer, every franchise willhave to come to a decision on their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/patriots-news-mac-jones-gets-real-on-winning-the-starting-quarterback-job-20210824-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">starting quarterback</a> soon. The Broncos were one of the teams facing a huge dilemma with both Bridgewater and Lock ready to take the offensive reins.
But eventually, they’d have to pick one over the other no matter how tight this competition would be, and now they just hope to have made the right call. However, fans didn’t seem to be very pleased.
