The Lions have agreed to contract terms with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford, FOXSports.com has learned.

It is a six-year, $78 million deal, with $41.7 million guaranteed.

The two sides have been working on a deal diligently for the past 72 hours.
The team had been negotiating with Stafford and Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith before ultimately deciding on Stafford as the target.

Stafford has been consistently mentioned as a possible No. 1 overall pick since he announced after the season that he would be leaving Athens a year early to enter the draft.

"I am a competitive guy; I don't think the Lions are that far off," Stafford said in an interview earlier this month with Scout.com. "Yeah, it would be a heck of a challenge to be able to go in there and make something special happen."

At 6-foot-3, Stafford has the size needed to be a franchise NFL quarterback, and the arm strength to go with it. He threw for 3,459 yards and 25 touchdowns in his junior year at Georgia, ending his career with 250 yards and 3 TDs in winning the Capital One Bowl MVP.
Since the Lions got their QB, they can finally get out of their playoff drought.

Man, the NFL needs to do something about rookie contracts. That is a ridiculous amount of money.

Probably the right move for the Lions. I'm not convinced that Stafford is going to be an elite NFL QB, but he's a good prospect and fills a need. Now just don't rush him into the starting position and destroy his confidence.

They made the right choice imo, they've been needing a franchise quarterback for a long time. This years OL class is deep enough to get a good one with their second 1st round pick (can't remember what number it was). They should give Stanton one more chance this year before they start either Culpepper or Stafford imo.
