After ten years as quarterback of the Detroit Lions and no playoff victories under his belt, is it any wonder why some fans want to move on from 31-year old quarterback Matthew Stafford? Arguably, the greatest passer in franchise history, Stafford is the team’s top player and one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
Most trade scenarios involving a franchise quarterback are nothing more than fantasy and wishful thinking. But according to Armando Salguero, columnist for the Miami Herald, a trade for Stafford was at least discussed last season according to several league sources.
