They don't have the assets to acquire him, unless they're trading Deshaun Watson... which I don't think Watson wants to go to Detroit.

A Stafford-Watson trade was my first thought.  It would obviously be a good move for Detroit, and bringing a veteran like Stafford might help Houston fans ease the sting from the loss of Watson.  Detroit also has high picks to trade.

Watson will get traded to the Jets and be the great hope of New York, watch.

 

The Lions rebuild and take a high end rookie on a rookie deal for the next 3 years. NE gives them 15 and they can package this and their pick to go into the top 3 and grab Wilson/Fields.

I forgot about the Saints. I could see them making a move if they have the cap. 

The nice thing about acquiring Stafford is that there's no proration for any team doing so. I would almost guarantee that any team trading for Stafford immediately signs him to an extension of 3 years, converts 2021 salary / roster bonus to SB, and has him count for like 6 million on the 2021 cap.
