Quinn was extended with Patricia was hired. They both got 5 year deals. That may have been part of the reason they are back as they would have had to pay both the remaining 3 years on their deals. Also the team will stay with the Fords forever!!
Lions president Rod Wood reaffirmed to a small group of reporters Tuesday that Martha Firestone Ford has no plans to sell the team that's been in her family for going on 60 years.
Wood's comments came after long-time Detroit sportscaster Eli Zaret predicted on his "No Filter Sports Podcast" that Bezos, the Amazon founder, will buy the Lions in 2020.
Zaret said Bezos has been to Detroit "at least twice under the dark of night to have serious conversations" about a sale.
"We’ve been approached about interest in buying the team, but there’s been no serious discussions and the Ford Family plans to own the team," Wood said, adding that there are "plans in place" for Ford to bequeath the franchise to family members.
