The options are let him walk or pay him.

So what would you do?
He's a 29yo top 10ish QB.
I'd work to trade him.
And before you say, "well good luck finding a competent QB" I'll just remind you once more that Stafford has been around for 8 years and Detroit has not had success with him, so the Stafford strategy hasn't exactly led to success either. That's not the guy I want to be giving all the money.
I'm a big believer in getting value for any deal you make. This is not a good value IMO.
