Rumors that Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford could be traded have escalated quickly this past week with a report from Local-4 WDIV that trade talks have been ‘underway for a couple of weeks’.
Though Lions general manager Bob Quinn quickly refuted these reports as ‘100% false’ … we know where there’s smoke, there’s often fire. So I’ll play.
There are a couple of reasons why trading Stafford isn’t as appealing as say … just two short years ago. 1) Back-to-back back injuries have hurt his stock after iron man status.
