ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford woke up Tuesday morning, less than 12 hours after signing a deal that made him the richest player in NFL history, and not much had changed. He still came in to work. Still went through a workout with backup quarterback Jake Rudock. Still practiced and broke down tape getting ready for the first week of the 2017 season.
Really, the only thing that changed for him will be the numbers on what he’ll be paid in the future.
“It’s not much different than I feel yesterday,” Stafford said.
