Unless you have been in a bubble since Saturday, you have certainly heard the reports that Matthew Stafford has asked for the Detroit Lions to trade him during the offseason.
Barring an unforeseen change of events, Stafford will be traded to the highest bidder, ending his tenure with the Lions.
Though the Lions have not yet come out and said publicly that they are accepting trade offers for Stafford, Matthew’s wife Kelly has taken to Instagram to thank the fans for their support and to express how much she will miss living in Michigan.
If all of that is not enough to convince you that we have seen the last of Stafford in a Lions’ uniform, the news that you are about to read next should pretty much seal the deal.
According to multiple reports, the Stafford’s have put their $6.5 million Bloomfield Township estate back on the market.
From Detroit Free Press:
The 12,295-square-foot house has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and sits on 1.27 acres of a pointed peninsula that reaches into all-sports Upper Long Lake.
The property includes an indoor half basketball court made of flooring the Detroit Pistons played on at the Pontiac Silverdome, five fireplaces, a sauna, a wine cellar, a glass elevator with service to all three levels and the largest infinity pool in the state.
For those of you still holding out hope, we apologize for passing along this news.
