Matthew Stafford landing spots Six teams

The NFL's offseason quarterback market added yet another domino over the weekend, with eyeing a fresh start.As NFL Cole Holcomb Jersey Network's Tom Peli sero reported over the weekend, Stafford and the Detroit Lions have after the veteran quarterback expre sed his desire for a trade. And I understand why he'd want out. Since being chosen first overall by the Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft, Stafford has played for three head coaches (four, if you include interim coach Darrell Bevell, who replaced Matt Patricia during the 2020 season) in 12 seasons, going 0-3 in playoff appearances. And, if he were to stay in Detroit, he'd be operating under yet another new coaching-front office regime, with the Lions hiring Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes.The 32-year-old has battled a number of injuries in recent years and is coming off his third consecutive losing season. Still, knowing signal-callers are now playing into their 40s, I believe there is Jonathan Williams Jersey going to be a competitive market for a player of Stafford's caliber and relative youth. In 2020, he put up an impre sive stat line (4,084 pa sing yards, 26 pa sing touchdowns and 10 picks in 16 games) while showing his arm strength is as great as it has ever been. He also moves much better than most give him credit for.Now, Stafford can't just walk away, because there are two years left, worth $43 million, on his current deal. Any team acquiring him in a trade would have to think about the cap hit they'd incur, Charley Taylor Jersey although there is the po sibility his contract is restructured if he lands elsewhere.The Lions are in rebuild mode, with a new staff in place, and will demand a pretty penny (rather, a bevy of draft picks) in return, and I can't blame them. Just look at some other comparable trades from the last 10 years. A 31-year-old Carson Palmer was worth a first- and second-round pick in 2011; an inconsistent and injury-riddled Sam Bradford was worth a first- and fourth-rounder in 2016; and a steady Alex Smith was worth a third-rounder and cornerback Kendall Fuller in 2018. I'd give up more for Stafford than any of those players commanded; with the going rate seemingly Sonny Jurgensen Jersey increasing for valuable players by the year, I'd actually be the crazy person who would trade for him. OK, I know that might be a little steep, but there are so many unknowns when drafting a quarterback. There would Jonathan Allen T Shirts be zero questions about what I'd be getting with Stafford.Stafford has played in a number of offenses with several offensive coordinators/play-callers, and his play has remained relatively consistent. He's been thrown into a lot of different scenarios and has proved he can succeed, no matter how grim the situation.Below, I've provided a list of six potential landing spots for Stafford -- in order from most likely to least -- along with potential trade packages.
