With Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, undergoing 12 hours of brain surgery and returning home only last weekend, the Lions told their QB to take as much time off as needed this off-season. Yet Stafford was at the Lions’ training facility first thing Monday morning, ready for work.
According to Over the Cap, trading Stafford last year before the draft would have led to 1) $40M in dead money and 2) would have resulted in an additional $13.5M cap hit on top of what the $26.5M cap hit he already had. So, yeah, that was never, ever, ever, ever, ever happening.
The #Lions may not be done adding players in free agency: Source said FA WR Dontrelle Inman will be on his way to Detroit later today for a visit with the #Lions tomorrow. He had 28 catches for 304 yards with the #Colts last year.
