"It's pretty hot and heavy right now," Campbell told Birkett (h/t to NBC Sports Bay Area). "We've got quite a few offers and so it looks like we've got some trade partners, we're just trying to work out the best scenario and see what's best for us, ultimately.
"I mean, we're mindful of trying to give him what he wants as well, but he also knows that, listen, we're going to find the best value for the Detroit Lions and what's best for us. That's kind of what we're doing."
NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport confirms that the interest is significant and that fans can expect a trade before the Super Bowl (h/t to Patrick Tulini). He previously reported that about a third of the league had reached out to the Lions to inquire about Stafford, who turns 33 on Super Bowl Sunday.
Birkett reports that the San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts, and Washington Football Team are among the teams considered to be interested. There have been no official reports that Kyle Shanahan's squad is among those involved in talks for Stafford. Although, that has been assumed for some time.
San Francisco likely hopes to avoid surrendering its first-round pick, building a compelling enough package to hold onto it and add Stafford. Although, Birkett feels that the level of interest the quarterback has garnered might make giving up a first-round pick unavoidable.
San Francisco owns the No. 12 overall selection in this year's draft.
