24. Matt Stafford — Final season in Detroit?

If the Detroit Lions underperform in 2020, it will be the final year of head coaching in Michigan for coach Matt Patricia. This would also facilitate the rebuild of the Lions organization. At the end of the 2020 season, quarterback Matthew Stafford will still be owed $27 million, but do we really believe he would be in the cards for a full-scale rebuild? No.

The team would owe it to Stafford to explore an outright release or trade to a team that has a more obvious pathway to the playoffs.

Stafford, 32, has several years left of high-level play to offer and would fit supremely with a team renowned for winning like New England or Pittsburgh.

23. When does Jon Gruden actually make the Raiders great again?

MLVRGA — Make the Las Vegas Raiders Great Again.

But when? Head coach Jon Gruden was inked [at a hefty sum] by the Raiders in 2018 to just win baby. Since then, the team has a win-loss record of 11-21 (.344). That’s the 25th-best record in the NFL. Winning 34 percent of games is not what the front office had in mind when they brought Gruden back to the squad.

Will the Raiders breakthrough in 2020? And if they do not, how much longer is Derek Carr in charge of the offense?
