If you are into gambling, one of the safest bets around right now is that Matthew Stafford will not be a member of the Detroit Lions for much longer as he has reportedly requested to be traded during the offseason.
Seeing Stafford in another team’s jersey is going to be extremely difficult for plenty of Lions fans and it will definitely take some time to get used to.
That being said, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, there is a “non zero” chance that Stafford remains in the Motor City and is the starting quarterback for the Lions in 2021.
Here is what Birkett had to say in an article that was published on Tuesday.
QB quandary: I promise I’m not toying with your emotions. Stafford wants out, the team is trying to make a deal and it almost certainly will happen. But on the non-zero chance no team is willing to meet the Lions’ trade demands, Stafford is under contract for two more seasons.
How it happens: The Packers deal Rodgers and Stafford suddenly has a change of heart, realizing the NFC North is wide open for the taking — even for the rebuilding Lions.
So, you are telling me there is a chance?!?!
