Matthew Stafford had requested to be traded by the Detroit Lions and the Lions are currently fielding calls to make that happen.
According to multiple reports, around 1/3 of the league had at least called the Lions about what it would take to acquire Stafford but as we know, only so many teams will actually be willing to pay fair market value.
Well, according to Josina Anderson, a source of hers has indicated that the Lions are “looking for a sucker” to overpay” for Stafford.
