I remember in his second season reading a story where he was talking about all the marble he had imported for his house and all this other material stuff.............and I thought that was a bit of putting the cart before the horse for like a 21 year old dude.........and back then when you went #1 overall you got paid HUGE. As a friend of mine says...........it's pre-paying the ransom. Sometimes money like that can remove the focus and I never found him to be a great competitor. Interesting. I never heard this. I agree, he was not a part of the solution, yet he has the talent. Competitiveness does not seem to be his calling card, as you've mentioned. Get out from under the Lions doldrums would have to catapult him somewhat, I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOutNick Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Feel bad for lions fans. Stafford is a stud and if he ends up in SF they are SB favorites. Back to the lions was this the best way to go about this? By telling the world your are mutually parting ways are you not devaluing what you can get for Stafford? I feel like doing this behind closed doors and getting offers with Stafford being in the mix would be more tactful and get the most value. Now you’re telling the world hey if we can’t trade him we will release him. They went from getting a first rounder to maybe a second if they’re lucky. Dude is going to make some franchise very happy for a cheap price. Hope it’s not in the AFC East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford & a 3rd for one of their 1st rounders. He makes all but Washington a Super Bowl contender. I heard NO won’t have $ for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 33 years old. https://overthecap.com/player/matt-stafford/1060/ Possibly the "arrangement" has to do with signing bonus, which at present would leave Detroit $19M in dead cap after a trade. I would say maybe Colts, but depends upon what exactly Detroit wants for him. I would think a mid-round first would get it done; maybe less. Probably makes sense for the Colts. He's a (small) step up from Rivers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts would be my first bet and honestly I think he is better than 2020 Philip Rivers. 49ers and Carolina also in play. Good call on niners. I can see them and the Colts as almost perfect landing spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I think Houston will be on the phone...Stafford and a high pick for Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Stafford is clutch. If anything the opposite is true. Too often he plays small early in games which is why they are behind. It is like he is too laid back but once you flick that switch he can go. As mentioned earlier, perhaps he lacks "compete". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure stafford would be ok being traded to Houston. Even Morrison for Watson...and he has a no trade clause iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I would imagine Indy, San Fran, and New England are the most likely to pursue Stafford. Wouldn’t be surprised if all of them offer their first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it seems to take some adversity for him to find that setting. He is a guy who is better down 27-17 entering the 4th than he is at 0-0. 3 minutes ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: 49ers Giants Washington got to be in here Be surprised on the Giants.

ColoradoBills Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 5 minutes ago, ganesh said: A 3rd round pick is what they will get. Bills got a 3rd for Tyrod. We will have to wait and see what happens with current QBs in the offseason to even put a worth on Stafford but it will be a lot higher than a 3rd IMO.
