They had to go with him really. Peterman might be done already - he doesn't even look back-up worthy at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if they sign a veteran back up in quick order and just cut Peterman loose. Maybe someone like Matt Moore?

Stafford isn't overpaid, his contract is just horribly structured. It's extremely back-loaded after year 1 and the cap hit is going to escalate next year and peak at $31.5mil. Obviously the cap will go up but I have no idea why the Lions didn't frontload it somewhat and create themselves a window. Must have been tight elsewhere last year because the cap % (the only figure that matters) jumped from 9.9% to 15% from year 1 to 2. Typically you cannot build a Super Bowl roster if your QB cap spend is over 13%. 

I wouldn't even consider cutting him before 2021 either because he's both too talented and the dead cap will be too much.

I just hate this hot take of "oh I wouldn't have paid him that much" without a fucking clue of how the salary cap works.
