Matthew Stafford’s max deal still has many doubters

This season for the Detroit Lions will have a great impact on the future prospects for the current management. General manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia did not look great with just six wins last season. And they may not be able to survive another step backwards in 2019.

One of the big points of contention – and a big key for this team to actually start winning – is the $135 million contract of quarterback Matthew Stafford. That contract has since been surpassed, and it looks more reasonable now than it did when it was originally signed.
