What’s the benefit to the Lions? Stafford is a good QB and they don’t grow on trees. Who will they replace him with? What is their reason to trade a good QB still playing well and with a lot of years left. Just to help out the Colts? Do the Lions have a QB in waiting I’m unaware of? I don’t think he gets traded but if he does I see him going to New England. I think he is just the kind of QB they want. But just a guess.
The Colts just lost their OC to the Eagles.

Sounds more like a Texan
Crap, I was hoping someone would take Eberflus. That would have hurt the Colts more.
Stafford puts up impressive numbers but has a losing record as a starting QB and only 3 playoff appearances (and loses) in 11-12 years. They've just been treading water with him for what seems like for ever...
If I was the owner/GM, I'd certainly at least think about and listen to offers. Might find a guy that doesn't have as impressive numbers but wins games when it matters.
I know it's not all on Stafford but after this long, I'd be considering rolling the dice and shaking up the whole roster to see if things change because not much has in all those years with Stafford at QB.
Not so much the OC. Frank is the brains there. Weakening their D would hurt more. Who the heck knows who the QB will be. That will tell us a lot when we know that.
Yeah, the Lions have been bad so long it hard to know where to start. Letting Caldwell go was a mistake.
That should push the Wentz to Indy rumblings along some more
I personally think they will give Wentz 1 more year. I don’t think Hurts is the long-term answer.
If they go Hurts as the long term answer, they are morons.
They need the money and arent a contender. Save 20m by trading him and get a pick in return. Let the new coach find his guy and rebuild. They are losing Golladay and Marvin Jones too. This is a rebuild. No sense in not cashing in on Stafford.
Because of contracts, Stafford is more tradable than Wentz or Watson
Maybe Goff to Indy? What would it take?
Jared Goff-Sean McVay relationship on the rocks? Who'll replace Philip Rivers on Colts?

I'm guessing they don't trade for anyone. They have Jacob Eason waiting to take over. Maybe resign Brissett as a backup. Not sure about that one though.
Good call. I actually forgot about Eason who was pretty high up on the QB lists last year but I also think they do re-sign Brissett. Maybe he starts the season, maybe Eason is ready, maybe they look in a different direction.
One of these tier 2 rookie QBs may slip to the colts.
Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones
Wilson maybe not, but the other two may well be there.
I wonder if Brissett wants out of town since losing the gig to Rivers? Even with Rivers gone, he may want to go somewhere else. I would think many people would like a solid back up with starting experience.
