The Facts: Stafford could have a new home before the end of the NFL season. Interest in the Lions star quarterback is significant and a trade is expected before the Super Bowl, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday.

Diehards Line: Detroit has been looking to deal its longtime face of the franchise after he expressed a desire for a fresh start elsewhere. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported last week that Stafford and the Lions have had healthy discussions in recent weeks regarding his trade request. Now Detroit, whose new regime is finally settled in, is engaged in talks with other teams. "It's pretty hot and heavy right now," new HC Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. "We've got quite a few offers and so it looks like we've got some trade partners, we're just trying to work out the best scenario and see what's best for us, ultimately." The timing for a deal couldn't be better. Several teams around the league have questions to answer at quarterback, including a few contenders. Moving Stafford should generate even more draft capital for a Lions organization that already owns the No. 7 pick in 2021.
