Official: Matthew Stafford and Detroit Lions Agree to $41 Million Dollar Guaranteed Deal

PrintApologies for the brevity, I'm on a poor internet connection.
SI.com and others are confirming that Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions have agreed upon a deal to make Stafford the #1 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
There will not be a holdout with the top pick in the 2009 NFL draft. The Detroit Lions and agents for Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford reached an agreement on a record-setting contract that will pay Stafford a guaranteed $41.7 million.
The six-year contract, with incentives, could be worth as much as much as $78 million for Stafford.
The Lions, who had a deal worth much less in place with Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry if they couldn't reach a deal with Stafford, clearly wanted the quarterback all along. Coach Jim Schwartz, trying to turn around the fortunes of the 0-16 team, made it clear he valued the moxie and terrific arm strength of Stafford, and general manager Martin Mayhew and COO Tom Elwand, set out Wedesday to make a deal with Stafford. Friday night, shortly after 10:30 ET, the deal got done.
This is sort of what we've been expecting. Now, can the Rams sign a deal with the #2 pick? Not exactly. This is what NFL Spokesman Greg Aiello told Primetime in an e-mail about this topic earlier this week:
If the club with the first choice commits to, selects, and signs a player prior to the commencement of the Selection Meeting, the club with the second choice may then talk with players and may reach an agreement with a player of its choice, provided that such agreement cannot be formalized in an NFL Player Contract until the club is on the clock at the Selection Meeting and has selected the player.

I wonder why
all of a sudden they’re looking at everything but OT. Up til pretty much yesterday, they were a lock for OT. Are they second guessing themselves or what?

jeez
he’d be the one to do it too. That would really suck. But anyone jumping up to #2 would have to think there’s a threat that someone else would jump up to #3 to grab him, which sounds like there might be three or four teams out there that might have at least some interest. damn…. that’s depressing.

Good for the Lions
I realize this makes me wrong in my prediction that the Lions would draft a Tackle, but if Stafford is allowed time to come along at his own pace (which is highly unlikely considering the money he’s making) he is going to be a very good QB.
I do think though, that the Lions are going to have a very hard time selling tickets (even harder than selling tickets to a team that went 0-16 last year) because they are so jaded by past failures that drafting a QB does NOT excite that fanbase. They are going to view this as more of the same ole Lions.
If they can protect him...
He’s got Calvin Johnson to throw to and that ain’t bad. But they are the Lions.
by WesternChief on Apr 24, 2009 10:16 PM CDT up reply actions
They'll have a better chance
selling tickets to fans who may be intrigued by a new QB than they would have if they had taken a new LT. I don’t hear too many fans saying, “Man we need to go to the game. I can’t wait to see that new Tackle block in pass protection”

That's how fans of most teams are
But this is the Lions. They have picked in the top 5 of the draft practically every year for 30 years. That loses its shine after a while.
They’ve picked 4 QBs in the top of the 1st round and only ONE of them ever took his team to the playoffs.
Lions fans have had all the sexy picks you could stand. They are ready for something substantial and proof that the new managment is different from the old managment (which its not, its the same managment promoted).
Reminds me of an episode of Friends:
Rachel is going on a blind date with this doctor.
She asks him what kind of doctor he is, he says he’s a gynocologist. She says wow, dream job for every man (awkward joking).
The doctor says "Well, you might think that… Let me ask you this, you’re a waitress? Do you ever think to yourself “If I see one more cup of coffee I’m going to puke?”
That’s how most Lions fans view drafting QBs or WRs.
The six-year contract, with incentives, could be worth as much as much as $78 million for Stafford.

Sorry I didn't want to start a fanpost.
But what would you guys think about sending LJ dorsey and our 210 2nd to AZ for bouldin and their 1st. Then we send their first to Carolina for Peppers. Then we draft curry or trade it down.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
Works except for Peppers has to sign his tender with the Panthers first.

No thanks
There is no reason that Dorsey alone shouldn’t still be worth a high 1st rounder. I realize players are like cars in that they depreciate as soon as you drive them off the lot so to speak, but he has just as much promise today as he had last year when we drafted him.
Boldin isn’t worth that much. He’s a good WR, but who says we can’t find one just as good in the draft if they needed to?
The way I see it.
It would be trading Dorsey for peppers. I think if AZ threw in an extra 3rd or let us keep out 2010 second it might be weight more for Dorseys value.
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
We can't lose now....
If the Rams take Curry we get the number one lineman in the draft in Smith, if they don’t we get the number one linebacker in Curry. Unless……
PLEASE don’t screw this up and take anyone other than Smith or Curry
just keep matriculating the ball down the field !
no losses, only gains in the draft. Especially with McMurphy (pioli) on our side.

2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.

Pick has been traded!
Let’s just stop all this talk about who the Chiefs draft at #3. That pick is long gone. The Chiefs had Tony backed down in a corner from his previous pre madona comments about wanting out of town. They still had him under contract. Also Tony proved last year that even though he wanted out and he still understood he had to produce on the field to keep his value up. He would of done that this year and been a great safety valve for Cassell. Take all this in and ask do you think the Chiefs would trade him for a pick in next years draft? Negative. The pick has been traded and they are just holding off making sure they don’t get a better offer. Let the dynasty begin.
Theres that term again: "Pre Madonna"
I think we defined that as: Before the Madonna era. AKA Pre-1981.

With the third pick in the 2009 draft the K.C. Chiefs...
trade with the highest bidder (a.k.a. the skins or jets). They swap 1st rounders get their 2nd and 4th or 5th round picks. Although it is going to cost the skins more picks in this draft or next years because they do not have a 2nd rounder this year.
I'm looking at pictures from the chiefs radiers game.
And they are making me excited.

Branching on this.
Sorry if I shouldn’t be going off topic, but its late and whatever.
Do you guys think we will be utilizing a lot of thigpen as a wildcat/tricat/rb/wr next year? Or do you think it’s just wishful thinking?
I can see Haley doing it but I don’t know if that’s the type of offense Pioli wants to run. Winning games is winning games though.

Did AZ do any wilcatting last year?

I didn't pay much attention to them till the superbowl.
I can’t remember. I know that Whisenhunt would do crazy plays. Remember the pass Randel El threw the td pass in the 05 superbowl?

also
I dont think pioli has any say in the type of offense we will be running

How would...
How would you all feel if we drafted Monroe? I like him alot. At this point I’d like him as our pick unless we trade down. Also remember he played with Albert at Virgina. While we’re on the topic of team mates how about Curry and getting reunited with his high school buddy? Wasn’t it Dorsey? Correct me if I’m wrong, can’t remember.
In Pioli We Trust
Quick question.
Has anyone watched the draft by streaming on nfl.com before? I’m not going to need a subscription am I?
"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"
It's midnight here in Cali
And only a few hours till the draft. Am I even gonna bother sleeping?

I had a dream that we drafted Jason Smith
No, really. Then we were trying to decide where Albert would play.
