The Detroit Lions caught some headlines on Tuesday involving quarterback Matthew Stafford. According to the Miami Herald, before the 2018 season, then Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase put out a feeler to Lions head coach Matt Patricia about the possibility of acquiring Stafford.
In reality, this just looks like two guys chatting about their teams, not an actual trade offer. And, in the end, Patricia simply shot down the possibility.
Truth be told, Stafford was just beginning his contract extension last season, so the cap hit would have been enormous on a trade.
