Should Detroit Pay Matthew Stafford $25 Million?

Salute: Detroit Free Press

The fact is Stafford hasn’t earned anything near this kind of money. He’s 0-3 in the playoffs. When the games mattered most down the stretch -- the final three games of this regular season, when the Lions had a chance to start exorcising the ghost of Bobby Layne -- Stafford fell flat. He threw two touchdowns and three interceptions in double-digit losses.
Stafford is owed $16.5M salary and $5.5M bonus in 2017.  It would not surprise me even a little bit if they Lions drafted a QB in the second or third round in the upcoming draft.  The team may decide paying north of $20M is a mistake and begin thinking about a fresh start.
