Lions | Matthew Stafford trade close

Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford has drawn ‘significant’ interest on the trade market, and NFL reporter Ian Rapoport said Saturday, Jan. 30 to expect a deal to be in place before the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.

Footballguys View: The trade can’t become official until the start of the new league year. However, this deal can be announced this upcoming week. Several teams have expressed interest in the veteran quarterback, and we’re sure the Lions are likely to get at least one first-round pick in exchange for Stafford. Teams like the 49ers, Broncos, and Colts seem to make the most sense. We should know his new destination in the near future.
