Who Should I Start? Jake Fromm or Davis Mills

Wednesday, April 23, 7:49 PM

Per the team, the Detroit Lions have released quarterback Jake Fromm ahead of this weekend's draft. Their roster now sits at 73 players. The 26-year-old has hopped around the league over his five-year career, serving stints with the Lions, Commanders, Giants, and Bills -- the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In three career appearances (one start), he racked up 210 passing yards and a 1:3 TD:INT ratio on a 45% completion percentage, chipping in 65 yards on eight rush attempts. The 26-year-old hasn't seen in-game action since the 2021 season during his time with the Giants. Fromm signed a Futures contract with Detroit back in January, but their recent acquisition of quarterback Kyle Allen must have eased them enough to cut ties with him.

Playing in relief on Sunday, Houston Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills completed 12 of 22 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in a victory at Tennessee. Houston was already set as the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs, so the team gave starter C.J. Stroud the day off after throwing a touchdown pass to wide receiver Nico Collins on the first drive of the game. With many key players out of the game, Mills took over under center and did a serviceable job, avoiding any major mistakes and adding 11 rushing yards on three carries. He'll return to being the backup when Houston plays host to a Wild Card game next week.
