Matthew Stafford's recent contract restructure converted all but $615,000 of his $11.5 million 2012 salary into a signing bonus.
The maneuver lowered his cap number from $17.1 million to roughly $9 million. It means Stafford will technically be playing for the league minimum in 2012. His $10.885 million "bonus" will be prorated over the next four years.

Detroit Free Press
Matthew Stafford was voted as the Associated Press' 2011 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
After appearing in just three games in 2010, Stafford started all 16 games and led the Lions to their first postseason since 1999. His 5,082 passing yards and 41 touchdowns both ranked third in the NFL. Stafford received 21 to Browns' LB D’Qwell Jackson 16 votes. Also receiving votes: Panthers WR Steve Smith, Giants QB Eli Manning, Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil, and Patriots DE Andre Carter.
Feb 4 - 7:09 PM
Matthew Stafford's Week 7 ankle sprain was reportedly of the high variety.
The injury was reported as a garden-variety sprain at the time. Stafford didn't miss so much as a snap, confirming that he's no "China Doll" as former teammate LB Zack Follett once suggested. (Follett has since fallen out of the league.) After appearing in all 16 games and throwing for 5,038 yards this season, Stafford is up for the Comeback Player of the Year award Saturday.
Feb 4 - 9:52 AM

Detroit Free Press
Matthew Stafford completed 28-of-43 passes for 380 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions against the Saints in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
Playing with supreme confidence, Stafford appeared to be on his way to a second consecutive 500-yard game while staking the Lions to a 14-10 halftime lead. The Saints sat on the ball in the second half, though, converting a series of third and fourth downs to keep the ball out of Stafford's hands. Now willing to throw his receivers open with an accurate rifle and creative play-calling, Stafford is sure to be back for a string of playoff appearances at just 23 years old. Buoyed by the league's dominant playmaker in Calvin Johnson, Stafford will be a top-five fantasy QB in 2012.

Jahvid Best
Sidelined
Jahvid Best (concussions) was a full participant at Lions OTA practice Monday.
Best worked with the first-team offense and was not limited in the no-contact practice. Mikel Leshoure (Achilles') also participated on a limited basis, before admitting he's not yet 100 percent. Best will be a dicey 2012 fantasy pick, but we like him as a high-end RB3. He projects as a 12-15 touch-per-game back.

Mikel Leshoure
Sidelined
The Detroit News expects Mikel Leshoure to eventually draw a two-game suspension for his twin offseason marijuana arrests.
Leshoure has enrolled in the NFL's substance abuse program, and is being tested "several times" a week. Still rehabbing his torn Achilles', Leshoure insisted he is "feeling great" at Lions OTAs. "I don't know what percentage it's at or anything because I haven't really pushed it to the limit yet," he said. "There's plenty of time for that. ... But I will be ready to roll by the season."

Second-round WR Ryan Broyles (ACL surgery) is not participating in team drills at Lions OTAs.
"I am just doing as much as I can," Broyles said. "(Monday) was my first day of practice. I am about half-speed but I feel good." Coach Jim Schwartz said Broyles is on a good pace in his rehab. "Everything he does is part of a very structured progression," Schwartz said. "We will start increasing his workload based on how his body feels. He's having a very good rehab. He's doing well."
