Stafford was already under contract for this season with an option for 2014. There was absolutely no reason for the Lions to extend him, other the salary cap number of $20 million had if not for the extension.
Personally, I believe the jury is still out on him. He's hasn't shown that he's a Franchise QB anymore than Josh Freeman has shown he's a Franchise QB.
If Freeman were in Detroit with Megatron, he'd have similar numbers, yet Tampa hasn't extended Freeman. Detroit may come out smelling like a rose with this deal but when in history has that ever happened for the Lions?
