The Facts: Stafford heard the rumblings, and so did his wife, yet he remained unbothered throughout an especially uncertain offseason. Instead, Stafford spent much of the first part of his offseason preparing to start for the Lions in 2020 and beyond, just as he's done for most of the last decade. "I really don't pay too much attention to 'em," Stafford said of trade rumors involving him. "I pay less attention to them than my wife does. But it's something that doesn't bother me. I'm here. I want to be here. I love being a Detroit Lion. I love leading this team."

Diehards Line: Instead of listening to trade rumors, Stafford focused on allowing the back injury that sidelined him the second half of the season to heal up. He said he's good to go -- "I'm moving around as good as this slow dude can move around" -- for whenever players are allowed to return to the field. That's encouraging news for a team that had to face the reality of a world without Stafford last season, turning to Jeff Driskel and David Blough in their final eight games and failing to win a single one of those contests. Without Stafford, the Lions went from 3-4-1 to 3-12-1. It's good to have the signal-caller back -- at least for now. It's also safe to say that Stafford's decision to put his Detroit-area house up for sale will be something widely discussed. Stafford declined comment through the Lions, but talk of the quarterback's house being up for sale has been around for months, since before he was rumored to be on the trading block in February.
