Matthew Stafford has been dealt by the Detroit Lions.

Transactional Analysis: Matthew Stafford Trade

The intensity of the spotlight is now on Stafford after years of being shielded from criticism. We are not convinced he is the immediate upgrade that most think he is. Over the course of his career, Stafford has completed 62.6 per cent of his passes for 7.2 yards per attempt, 4.5 per cent touchdown rate and 2.3 per cent interception rate. For reference, Goff has completed 63.4 per cent of his passes for 7.5 yards per attempt with 4.4 per cent touchdown rate and 2.3 interception rate. Yes, the Rams are a better managed organization and more capable of extracting talent than the Lions, but we remain skeptical of Stafford’s upside.

Maclin, 30, was a blazer from day one after being taken 19th overall in the 2009 draft. In 2014, he hauled in 85 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns, making the Pro Bowl game as an alternate. Unfortunately, Maclin’s career has been spiraling downward since he was released by the Chiefs after the 2016 season. In 2017 with Baltimore, he had his worst season (40 catches, 440 yards) and last year he missed the entire campaign while rehabbing a hamstring injury.
