The Detroit Lions open the NFL season 14 weeks from Sunday, so what better time for a Twitter mailbag. As always, send your questions to @davebirkett.
Q. With Derek Carr saying he will not negotiate during camp does that affect our chances to extend Stafford? - @mastergurn
A. Prevailing wisdom across the NFL is that the Lions and Matthew Stafford will reach agreement on a contract extension sometime this off-season that makes Stafford the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL.
