Detroit Lions veteran QB Matthew Stafford recently listed his $6.5 million Michigan home for sale. The home was rumored to be on the market this off-season, but it seems it has only been listed for the last day or so.
Stafford was drafted by the Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft with the No. 1 pick. Now in his 12th season, the former Georgia star is the most prolific passer in Detroit Lions history with over 41,000 yards through the air.
Trade speculation is usually high on the list when a tenured quarterback puts his home up for sale, but this isn’t exactly the case with the Stafford family. Matthew and his wife, Kelly Stafford, have three daughters and are expecting a fourth child soon. So it’s fair to guess that the reason they are selling their current home is so they can move into a more kid-friendly one. They moved into this house in 2013, before they had any children.
Kelly confirmed that when she said on her Instagram that the reason for the move is to find a home that is more suitable for their young girls rather than a house with a pool and a lake.
