Ok. The Detroit Kitt..er..Lions are pleased to announce that we've come to terms with our first pick in the draft, Matthew Stafford, the QB from Georgia.
At this point, we felt that Matt could give us our best success going forward and would be a cornerstone of our franchise for years to come.
Throughout his fabled college career at the University of Georgia, Matthew exhibited the traits that make great players at his position. He showed leadership, tenacity, determination, and a will to win, which is something that we're obviously in need of at this point in the franchise's crossroads.
We've given him a 5-year, $65 million dollar contract, with $35 million of that being guaranteed.
At this, I CedarPhin, President of the Lions, is proud to announce Matthew Stafford as the newest Detroit Lion.

Thank you.
