Teams will publicly lie about their intentions all the time, but these front office people have to work with eachother year after year - there really is very minimal risk to this approach.

def folks would continue to trade if it improves their team and another issue would be after the trade, some one else offers Detroit a cant miss deal.
I just rather get the guy I want. Plus Stafford isn't going anywhere. he isn't the problem there.
