Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated answered questions from fans and was asked about Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has reportedly been the subject of much discussion this past week at the Senior Bowl.

"The Lions brass was in Mobile, Alabama, and they've been talking trade on Stafford," Breer said. "I think they'd like to move him before the Super Bowl. I think they're going to get a first-round pick. Maybe a first-round pick plus something else.


"I can give you seven teams that I know are solidly in it. That would be Washington, Carolina, New England, Indianapolis, Chicago ..."

Breer paused for a second and then continued while sounding a bit less sure about the next two teams on his list.

"San Francisco and LA, I think we'll see," Breer added. "I think he'd like to go to California. Whether or not that happens or not, I'm not sure."


Mike Garafolo said on NFL Network this morning that he spoke with some "folks in San Francisco," who denied that the 49ers were on the verge of trading for Stafford.

"Nope, not us," they told Garafolo.


With both Breer and NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reporting that the Lions would like to see the situation resolved before the Super Bowl, fans should know something soon.

H/t to Patrick Tulini for the find.
