First, a Detroit TV station reported that the Lions were in trade talks involving Matthew Stafford. Then the team denied it. So what's going on?

Earlier this week, a WDIV Local 4 reporter said Stafford trade talks "have been underway for a couple of weeks". Shortly after, Lions GM Bob Quinn called the rumor "100 percent false".

However, WDIV has said, "We stand by our story and by our sources". Meanwhile, Stafford's wife Kelly addressed the rumors in an Instagram post suggesting that she could "stay in Cali..." - perhaps hinting at a trade to the L.A. Chargers to replace Philip Rivers.
