Matthew Stafford won't be traded anytime soon, Lions GM says

They say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Lions are sticking to that theory for their quarterback situation in 2016.

With a number of NFL teams looking to fill voids under center, general manager Bob Quinn confirmed Detroit's stability at quarterback and assured that veteran Matthew Stafford won't be leaving Detroit anytime soon.

"I haven't thought about that and I have no interest in trading Matthew," Quinn told reporters, via the Detroit Free Press.

The declaration comes as no surprise, as Stafford, 28, has served as the Lions' starter since he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
