Notes: National outlets weigh in on legitimacy of Matthew Stafford trade rumors

First, there’s national reporter Benjamin Albright, who is reporting that since the report dropped overnight, several teams have called the Lions about Stafford. Per Albright, “all have been told that Stafford is not available.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport also weighed in, saying Stafford is “not being shopped” and furthermore, it makes no sense.

That hasn’t stopped some, however, from adding fuel to the first. NFL.com’s Marc Sessler listed sending Stafford to the Chargers as one thing on his offseason wish list based on the recent rumor.
