Lions QB Matthew Stafford Gets $1 Million Bonus For Passing Yards

Calvin Johnson isn't the only Lion with a sizeable salary-cap number that's about to go up. According to Brian McIntyre of Mac’s Football Blog and FootballOutsiders.com, quarterback Matthew Stafford has a $1 million escalator in his rookie contract if he ranks in the top five in either passing yards, passing touchdowns or passer rating. Stafford finished third in passing yards and touchdowns, and fifth in passer rating this season. Stafford already was set to have a base salary of $10.5 million next year with a cap number of more than $16 million. Both of those numbers will increase by $1 million.

this was basically just a bonus for playing in all 16 games finally ................. we knew he would put up numbers if he could just stay on the field.

I just don't see how we are going to be able to re-sign Avril/Johnson/Tulloch/Wright/Hill/Backus right now. I wonder who is not going to get resigned at this point.

yep, the lions have some cap issues. they have brought in a ton of pricey free agents since their winless season in an attempt to get back to respectability but they are going to need to restructure some guys or something to make things work.

They'll come close to getting them all...one will be tagged and the others a deal will be worked. Someone like Tulloch could get a tag.
