Which spot would be easier to replace? Rush OLB or QB? I wouldn't do it, but if you believe Stafford is that legit...it's actually kind of a no brainer when emotion is removed.
Detroit would have to trade us THEIR 1st Rounder, plus Stafford AND take Keenum off of our hands.
Stafford for Von isn’t a fair trade. And still...I wouldn’t want Von to be traded. No way Vic takes this job knowing Von gets traded.

No. I especially don't want to trade our franchise player for some aging QB who has never won a single thing.
Von gets held all day, it's the NFL way; sadly, so I take that into consideration in assessing his real value as a pass rusher, certainly towards the downside. But even with that, Stafford would be no more than a stop gap/ would bring a division championship at best. Bfd. I say no
Hard pass.
Drafting a QB = Rebuild. Trading one high priced veteran earning $18m for a franchise QB is Reboot.
Since Stafford is 31, getting him would mean "we are all in on winning a SB right now. We're not going to rebuild for the future by drafting a QB and maybe he'll be great in 3 years, i.e. 2021. I'll be gone then. I want to win right NOW."
If Fangio thinks they can compete in the division with Matt Stafford, then they will absolutely do it in a flash. But, unless the Lions/Stafford relationship is a lot worse than anything I've heard, then they would never trade him.
