why cant we win Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4097641 chive The Detroit Lions reached an agreement with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford to make him the first pick in the NFL draft on Saturday. According to a source, Stafford will receive a six-year, $41.7 million deal that could be worth $78 million if he achieves all of his playing incentives. The source also said he will receive $41.7 million in guarantees. That tops the $41 million in guarantees Albert Haynesworth received from the Washington Redskins. The Lions intensified negotiations for Stafford over the past three days, knowing they could also reach a less expensive deal with Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry. After Curry's agents visited the Lions minicamp over the weekend, Lions president Tom Lewand focused on Stafford. The Stafford deal is the richest given to a draft choice in history, topping the five-year, $57.5 million contract the Dolphins gave to tackle Jake Long last season and the six-year, $72 million contract Matt Ryan received from the Atlanta Falcons. The language of the contract must still be agreed upon and approved by the management council. As the week began, the Lions were down to three choices -- Stafford, Curry and Baylor tackle Jason Smith, but the team was insistent on having a contract in place with the first-round pick before Saturday's draft. WELL WE HAVE A NUMBER ONE PICK NOW WE CAN MOVE ON ABOUT THE BETTER QB SPUCKALTIONS BRING ON THE DRAFT BABY LESS THAN 24 HRS AND ITS GOING TO BE EXCITING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osusev Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Makes me sick with the STUPIDITY that Franchises are now blackmailed into.

BigBrownsFan Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 The Lions have come to terms with Stafford and will select him first overall. The clincher - 41.7 million dollars in GUARANTEED MONEY. Are you freaking kidding me??? Just wow, anyhow, this recent up to the minute mock has us taking Aaron Curry. I hope this is the case.... Curry To Browns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Essentially unless he's a perrenial pro-bowler, with that mad cash, he would be considered a bust. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
