There’s a lot of buzz around the Matthew Stafford trade talks this week, and it only seems to be rising in intensity as the week goes on. With many coaches and general managers down in Alabama for the Senior Bowl, it would only make sense for talks to advance at this stage. And while it’s important to remember that a Stafford trade can’t become official until the new league year in mid-March, terms can be agreed upon—and subsequently leaked to the media—as early as the end of this sentence.
