While Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins waits for a long-term contract, one newly paid signal-caller knows what he is going to purchase. 

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said he’ll buy “a bunch of diapers” with his new five-year, $135 million deal, which he signed Monday. Stafford’s wife, Kelly, gave birth to twins in the offseason. 



Cousins will be a father for the first time in September, so Stafford can give him some tips. Cousins’ salary of $24 million can buy plenty of diapers, too.
