The Detroit Lions have signed Bob Quinn to a contract extension.

Quinn's deal now runs through 2022 alongside Matt Patricia.

"The contract extension for Bob is most deserving as he continues to lead and improve our football team," Detroit president Rod Wood said in a statement released Friday by the Lions. "It is also important for our entire organization to ensure stability as we move forward with Matt as our new Head Coach working in partnership with Bob. Moreover, I greatly enjoy my relationship and partnership with Bob. We both look forward to a bright future for the Detroit Lions."

Quinn was hired as general manager after the 2015 season.
