After an unfortunate injury on Sunday night, the trendy topic this week is trading Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford … but why?

With the Detroit Lions holding a 1-3 record and quarterback Matthew Stafford healthy, evidently, 2020 is the year to trade the team’s franchise-leading quarterback. The rumors, which can’t be tied to either team actually having any conversations about the matter, are that the Dallas Cowboys would make a move for the Lions signal-caller.

We know Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott, unfortunately, suffered a gruesome ankle injury and we wish him a speedy recovery.
