Lions

Lions QB Matthew Stafford told reporters on Tuesday that he “would love” to get a long-term extension in place with Detroit.

“I would love to (get a new deal done),” Stafford said, via the Detroit Free Press. “I’ve had a really good time playing here, would like to be here long term. But that’s yet to be seen.”

Stafford was asked about the team balancing putting talent around him forward and paying him a big-money contract.

“I think that’s something for those guys to talk about and understand probably more than me,” Stafford said. “I know every year teams find good ways to put good teams around good quarterbacks, you see it every year, so I’m not too worried about that. I know that the salary caps and all that kind of stuff is as malleable as you want it to be so I think you just go and try and make a good decision for not only the player but the team and go from there.”
