Lions QB Matthew Stafford Makes a Lot of Trade Sense for the Colts this Offseason

The Indianapolis Colts have a critical offseason ahead of the franchise, and the biggest question will be what to do at starting quarterback for the 2021 season.

Therefore, one of their first moves of the offseason should be calling the Detroit Lions about the potential trade availability of franchise starting quarterback Matthew Stafford.

This past season’s Colts starter, veteran quarterback Philip Rivers just completed his 1-year, $25 million debut deal with the Colts and is set to become a free agent again.

While Colts head coach Frank Reich was adamant following the Colts’ wild card playoff loss that he wants Rivers to return for 2021, he also indicated that no clear decision has been made yet on the veteran’s future in Indianapolis—as he still has to discuss it with general manager Chris Ballard.
