Matt Stafford: Local Detroit Media Bashes Him on His Way Out

Matt Stafford has given the first 12 years of his NFL career to the Detroit Lions. He's been through rebuilds...played on bad teams...and did everything he could to elevate the franchise. Yet...the local media in Detroit found cause to bash him on his way out of town.

We take a look at a recent article from the Detroit Free Press...and debunk some of their criticisms of Matthew Stafford. We explain why he's earned the right to end his career outside of Detroit...and how publicly demanding a trade didn't take all the leverage away from the Lions.

We also look at a few interested teams that could end up trading for Stafford.
