Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been a staple in the franchise since 2009. Now, the Lions could reportedly be looking to trade Stafford this offseason.
Man…. @BartScott57 is clearly hearing what I was hearing at Mobile. The talk in NFL circles is that Matthew Stafford might be on the move this offseason.

Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports there has been increased trade speculation surrounding the quarterback this offseason.
A potential Stafford trade reportedly picked up even more during the Senior Bowl.
The Lions find themselves at a crossroad this offseason. Detroit holds the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, a spot where Tua Tagovailoa will likely be available.
Before suffering the season-ending injury, Stafford was playing at an MVP-caliber level with 19 passing touchdowns, 2,499 passing yards and a 106 quarterback rating in eight games.
If the Lions ultimately decide to trade Stafford, there will be plenty of teams interested in the star quarterback with four seasons remaining on his contract.
