Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn quickly and strongly refuted a report that the team is engaged in talks to trade quarterback Matthew Stafford, texting the Free Press early this morning to say the report is "100% False!!"

Quinn's denial should (but probably won't) end speculation about the team moving on from Stafford this offseason, but plenty of questions remain about his future in Detroit, why Quinn is so adamant about not trading Stafford and what the Lions will do with the third pick in April's NFL draft.
