I and the rest of the world called it..

Yes Matthew Stafford agreed to become a Detroit Lion, and I'm sorry Matt, but the 6yr/78 million dollar contract you just signed with only $41.7 million guaranteed should soften the blow. It was never a secret that the Lions were going to take Stafford, I mean lets be honest they didnt look at anyone else. With a talent like this, you can't afford to pass him up. He is going to have a good career, and I only say good because he has no surrounding pieces yet and that's going to take Detroit more then just the 2009 draft to correct.

I'm so giddy right now because I have such a passion for football and I'm actually going to be home to watch the draft tomorrow and I might even throw my own analysis on it, not sure yet. I know things but am no Chris Mortensen. The other thing I would like answered is when is the NFL going to establish some sort of salary cap for rookies. 41. 7 million guaranteed? That's 7 million more then Matt Ryan got from the Falcons last year. I think at that one point their is going to be some sort of rule established because the amount of money these kids are getting is outrageous.

All though I guess when you're Detroit you gotta offer a lot of money for a player to come play for your organization. But the NFC North is establishing itself for many years to come as the teams all boast some decent qb's. Bears- Cutler, Packers- Rodgers, Lions- Stafford. I think it's going to be fun to watch but as a Dolphins fan I am most looking forward to what we do with the number 25 pick tomorrow. Can't wait to watch the draft.
