Scott1988 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Lions signed QB Matthew Stafford to a five-year, $135 million extension through 2022. Derek Carr lasted a little over two months as the league's highest-paid quarterback. Stafford now holds that distinction, and he won't sit at the top for long, either. Quarterbacks salaries are getting outrageous, and whoever is the next competent one up for a new deal immediately becomes the richest. This is good news for Kirk Cousins, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees, who are all going to get new deals sooner than later. Stafford is still just 29 and is coming off back-to-back strong seasons as he enters his prime. One a health risk early in his career, Stafford hasn't missed a start since 2010. He's already made over $110 million before this deal. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/361641/lions-lock-matt-stafford-up-at-5-years-$135m need to get Ryan signed to an extension before his salary goes even higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't won a playoff game since they had Barry Sanders in the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Detroit a couple years ago for Thanksgiving and listened to their sports station on the radio. All they could talk about was how bad they want the Lions to be good lol.

PapaJoe Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Another year and Ryan will be getting a new extension because he is a FA after the 2018 season; then he will be the highest paid player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
