Yesterday monring, PFT Live spoke to Detroit Lions G.M. Bob Quinn about Matthew Stafford’s upcoming contract. Stafford is currently in the last year of his deal, and though he stated that talks are still very early the fact that they are speaking is a great sign for the team.
In Stafford’s eight seasons as a Lion, he’s taken the worst team, well ever, and made them into a consistent playoff contender. He has not only solidified himself as a leader on this team but also arguably the team’s best player. This past season he seemed to take the next step in his career as what we should be witnessing over the next handful of seasons is Stafford’s prime.
