Follow the trail back. Rouge said he would resign him, but not at that number. Hence my comment.
quote:I'd trade him whenever the team feels he could fetch max value, whatever that may be.
Trade him when he's a FA at the end of next year?
quote:My thing is, he doesn't have to be as good or nearly as good as Rodgers...who is? But he has to be a guy that on the right day and with the right luck you feel can outplay Rodgers. I don't have that confidence in Stafford, not at all.
He's 29. He has potentially 10 years ahead of him. And he's stuck in a division with Aaron Rodgers, so getting to the playoffs is more difficult for the Lions than most.
quote:Yes. I feel like sticking with him with this deal actually makes it harder to compete going forward, and again, I don't have any confidence that he can lead my team to a title, so I don't want 5 more of what I'd consider wasted years.
You seem to be in the let him walk and rebuild category.

Gotcha. I'd make him an offer, it would be lower, he would decline it. Then I'd work to trade him.

Yeah, good luck getting any quality free agents to ever sign with you if you'll jack around a top 10 QB. You don't think free agents notice things like that?

What is max value? The best offer you can get? So if 5 teams give crappy offers just go with the least crappy offer? You wouldn't have a job for very long.
