Since the Lions ended the season with zero wins and 16 defeats as the worst team in the NFL, all decision-makers were exchanged in Detroit and the aim was to rebuild the team. The whole roster was almost completely replaced, but Stanton stayed in Detroit, although Matthew Stafford and Daunte Culpepper had been set as quarterbacks No. 1 and 2, with whom one wanted to go into the season.
