Lions Not Looking To Trade Matthew Stafford
Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn made it clear that the team isn't interested in trading quarterback Matthew Stafford. “Matthew Stafford is our quarterback; he will be our quarterback here,” Quinn said Friday in his annual postseason press conference. Stafford signed a long-term contract extension before the 2017 season, but he had a poor season in 2018, throwing only 21 touchdowns, his fewest since 2012. He didn't reach 4,000 yards either and had just 6.8 yards per attempt. In the end, a late-season back injury, a run-first offense and a season-ending injury to Marvin Jones and the trade of Golden Tate did Stafford in. With better health and a new offensive coordinator that caters to Stafford's strengths, he could have a bounce-back year with Kenny Golladay and Jones as his top receivers. Running back Kerryon Johnson showed promise as well. Draft Stafford in 2019 as a high-end QB2 with potential QB1 upside.
