Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will take a hands-off approach to upcoming contract talks, but doesn't necessarily want to leave money on the table.

"Everywhere in the league you see guys breaking records with how much they're making and all that kind of stuff, and honestly, you want fair-market value," he said.

"I don't really care about breaking records too much. I want to break records on the field. I want to win games, I want to have as many good players around me as I possibly can."

Stafford has two years remaining on the deal he signed with the team when he was taken No. 1 overall in the 2009 draft.

"That's my No. 1 focus this whole offseason was trying to do everything I could to help us win and the contract stuff will take care of itself," he said.
