Which teams need to evaluate their QBs for 2016? Browns lead the list (Detroit Lions: I don't think Matthew Stafford is going anywhere. There isn't much precedent for a move like that in NFL history. But there have been rumors, and I suppose that if the Lions get the top pick it's possible. And it's possible they get the top pick.  Still, Stafford is just 27 and even though he has an 83.7 career rating, people talk themselves into his arm strength and size and think he can be turned around. Hey, Jay Cutler got a good coordinator in Adam Gase, is having a good season and got theChicago Bears off this list, so anything is possible.):   http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/which-teams-need-to-evaluate-their-qbs-for-2016--browns-lead-the-list-193341610.html
