Lions Eye Aidan O'Connell as QB2 | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions are eyeing a savvy upgrade at QB2, with Aidan O’Connell emerging as a top target. After Teddy Bridgewater’s retirement, the team’s backup options—Joshua Dobbs and rookie Luke Altmyer—have left analysts wanting more. O’Connell, 27, brings proven starting experience and flashes of competence, making him a far more reliable option than his counterparts. With his path blocked in Las Vegas due to coaching changes and veteran competition, he may be ripe for a trade—or even a release—for a late-round pick. A move like this could give the Lions a steadier, younger backup who can truly step in when needed, boosting confidence ahead of the season.
