Now what?
After many fans and media members were outlining potential trade scenarios involving the Lions’ former QB Matthew Stafford, we now find out that the Patriots were never going to be part of the equation.
NBC Sports’ Tom E. Curran broke the story that said Stafford made it clear that the Lions could trade him “anywhere but New England”…ouch.
The Lions didn’t try to camouflage their intentions to trade Stafford, and it was a smart move. Before the feeding frenzy snatching up QBs in the 2021 NFL Draft begins, they made it clear that they were in rebuilding mode.
