Tua to the Lions?

That said, have mixed feelings on it. I like Stafford a lot and would root for him wherever he's at, but at the same time, I would get them trying to move on from him and getting something back.

I think he can still play but he's getting older too (just turned 32)

Bad news for Tua.... might be a good time for a medical "setback." Just kidding. Sort of.

Interested to see the return. He makes a lot of money and is coming off a fairly major injury.

Coach and GM under a mandate to win in 2020 or they're out.

32MM in dead cap if he is traded.

Yes, fake news.

Exactly, which Miami will likely send the house for.

This is the time of the year when we get our reminders about who has legit info and sources and who is a sock puppet.

Agreed, I tend to believe that Stafford isn't the problem in Detriot. The head coach however....

The problem in Detroit is Aaron Rodgers and The Vikings overall roster.

Their offensive line has been meh to absolute shite for the last 30 years or so.

Pair a decent offensive line with a quality defense and Stafford will give you something.

Tua is best suited to sit his rookie season. Patricia is not in a good enough standing to have a 4 win season again.

This is all a play to get Miami to trade up for Tua

Stafford is the longest tenured #1 pick in NFL history to have never won a playoff game with the team that drafted him

I would love to see Stafford go somewhere else after his contract is up and get a ring.

Obviously these rumors are false, but if the pats were looking for a veteran option because Brady did leave, Stafford would be my first target

I’d be very happy with that if Brady did decide to leave

The dead money part makes it a non-starter tho

While a badge of dishonor, I don’t blame Stafford for that.

shite coaching and questionable personnel decisions around him have limited his success.
