INDIANAPOLIS - The Detroit Lions have not yet started talks on a new contract for quarterback Matthew Stafford, but general manager Bob Quinn said today that getting a deal done this off-season is "a priority" for the team.
"But it takes two sides to do a deal," Quinn said. "So I think that’s something we’ll definitely talk about. I’m not making any promises one way or another, but I’ve always said since I’ve gotten here that I think Matthew’s a good quarterback and I’d like to have him here long term."
Stafford is entering the final season of a contract he signed in 2013 and is scheduled to make $16.
