With free agency approaching (March 14), we're analyzing the quarterback position on the Detroit Lions.
2018 cap hits of top returnees:
Matthew Stafford: $26.5 million
Jake Rudock (exclusive rights free agent who should return): $705,000
Alek Torgersen: $480,000
Pending free agents: None other than Rudock, who is expected to return when tenders can be offered.
Key stat: Stafford will have a new head coach but not a new offensive coordinator, which is key. He’s coming off one of his better overall seasons, with a 65.
