according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network on Tuesday. ,Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, reportedly is "actively talking" with the team about a contract extension, who is entering the final year of his contract, but a "substantial gap" remains between the sides
Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press believes the Lions had better be prepared to pay Stafford major money in these negotiations:
327 yards, was excellent for the Lions last season, throwing for 4,Stafford,Womens O. J. Howard Jersey, 29, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while completing 65.3 percent of his passes. He led the team to the playoffs for the second time in three years and for the third time in his career.
He's also proved to be durable after an injury-plagued start to his career and hasn't missed a game in six seasons.
the team assuredly would use the franchise tag to retain him this offseason.,Entering the final year of a three-year, Stafford is in line to be one of the game's highest-paid quarterbacks. If he and the Lions don't agree on an extension,Womens Jameis Winston Jersey, $53 million contract extension, however
But Stafford isn't letting any contract impasses affect him,Authentic Lavonte David Jersey, per John Niyo of the Detroit News:
as far as my preparation. No matter what happens,"There's no difference to me,Womens Mike Evans Jersey, I've got a year left on my contract here. I'm gonna be here this year playing football for this team. So it’s on my shoulders to be as good as I possibly can to help our team win...
"If I spend time thinking about all that [contract] stuff, I'm doing a disservice to the guys in the locker room. I don't want to hear about it; they don't want to hear about. We just want to go play football."
It's hard to imagine the two sides won't agree on a lucrative contract extension for Stafford. With the exception of the Kirk Cousins situation in Washington, teams generally lock up their franchise quarterbacks for the long haul.
Golden Tate impressed with Dontez Ford, Lions young wideouts
Golden Tate likes what the Detroit Lions have added at wideout this offseason, and loves the young players the team has added to the group.
they're learning the material they're playing fast already which is special,"Our young guys have been phenomenal," Tate said when pressed on the matter.
"I say Dontez Ford. That guy's executing. He's got great hands, he understands the game. He's been playing fast. I love what he's doing. He keeps his mouth shut. He just handle business and that's what I like to see from our young guys, great vision," Tate said.
He didn't hold back with his praise of some others, either.
" Tate said. "Nobody's doing anything extra. We're just handling business day in and day out.","Kenny Golladay's doing fantastic as well,Authentic Jameis Winston Jersey,Authentic Doug Martin Jersey, Noel Thomas is making some big plays,Womens Doug Martin Jersey,Womens Lavonte David Jersey, so is Michael Rector, everyone's doing their jobs which is important
As for the offense as a whole,Authentic Mike Evans Jersey,Authentic O. J. Howard Jersey, Tate is optimistic that things can get even better for the Lions in 2017 thanks to better experience.
but it was clearly new. Now we're focusing on details last year we couldn't even think about figuring out,"I expect us to understand the offense a lot better than we did lat year. Not that we didn't understand it," Tate said. "I think we're really really dialing in trying to take stress off Matthew Stafford and it's working out." |
