Lions: We Aren't 'Close' To Deal With Stafford
Jan 23, 2014 10:42 PM
The Lions are denying a report in the Oakland Press that they are "close to agreeing" on a deal with quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Detroit spokesman Bill Keenist told MLive.com that the report is "absolutely untrue."
According to the report in the Press, team president Tom Lewand met with team owner William Clay Ford on Wednesday and it would take a "catastrophe" for Detroit not to pick Stafford.
