Signed, Sealed, Delivered

The Lions have found who they hope will be their franchise quarterback. Matthew Stafford ended months of speculation Friday night, agreeing to a six-year, $41.7M deal to be the No. 1 pick in Saturday's draft.

"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.""  R.I.P George.

QuoteAccording to a source, Stafford will receive a six-year, $41.7 million deal that could be worth $78 million if he achieves all of his playing incentives. The source also said he will receive $41.7 million in guarantees. That tops the $41 million in guarantees Albert Haynesworth received from the Washington taterskins.

Right, the $41.7m is GUARANTEED money.  Ridiculous.

$41.7m guaranteed for some QB who hasn't played a down in the league? Good Lord, does anyone in a front office remember Ryan Leaf? Andre Ware? Akili Smith? FFS...
Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad.

i'm fairly certain that matt ryan and joe flacco were the negotiating tools used by stafford's agent. 

but yeah, 41mil guaranteed to any rookie is rediculous.
