Sources not even remotely close to the league have confirmed that the Detroit Lions have traded starting quarterback Matthew Stafford and three first round draft picks to the Indianapolis Colts for the #1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

Stafford was drafted #1 overall in 2009, and had a rough first two years with the Lions. In 2011, Stafford started all 16 games, leading the Lions to 10 wins and the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. He threw for 5,038 yards with 41 touchdowns and a 97.2 quarterback rating.
