20man: Stafford has two years remaining on his current deal, so it's getting to the point where the Lions have to start thinking about a contract extension or the future beyond Stafford.
Stafford can certainly still sling it. He's only 32, and still has good years in front of him. He's really well respected within the organization and around the league.
Hamp was asked about Stafford's future in a Zoom call with reporters Saturday. She said the new coach and general manager will have to make the decision on Stafford's future, which I think is the right call.
Stafford's dead cap hit for 2021 is around $25 million, per spotrac.com, and with the salary cap expected to go down next season, I don't see a trade or moving on from him next year as financially feasible, though smarter people than me handle the cap and the financial details.
If the new GM and head coach decide to look to the future beyond Stafford, then the best course of action would probably be to draft a young guy and have him learn under Stafford for at least the 2021 season.
