Could the Detroit Lions trade for a quarterback prior to the start of the 2021 regular season?
Well, in a piece published on Thursday, Jeff Risdon of Lions Wire suggested just that.
Risdon suggests a potential trade candidate for the Lions is current Jacksonville Jaguars backup, Gardner Minshew.
Here is what Risdon has to say about the potential trade.
From Lions Wire:
Minshew is the best young quarterback available. He’s never going to get ahead of No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville and the Jaguars like what they’ve seen from veteran C.J. Beathard too. While Minshew isn’t a likely successor to Jared Goff, he does represent a more skilled and feisty backup option than either David Blough or Tim Boyle in Detroit. Neither has impressed enough to avoid being replaced.
Nation, what do you think? Personally, I would be very surprised if this happened.
