IN BRIEF

DETROIT Quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions agreed on a six-year deal Friday, his agents told The Associated Press. Tom Condon and Ben Dogra, who both represent Stafford, said the Lions will pay Stafford $41.7 million in guarantees and as much as $78 million.

Quarterback Matt Ryan, the No. 3 pick in last year's draft, was signed to a $72 million, six-year contract with $34.75 million guaranteed by the Atlanta Falcons.

The Lions were to formally take Stafford with the No. 1 pick in the draft Saturday.

DALLAS Mavericks guard Jason Terry, mostly a full-time starter before taking on a different role the past two seasons, was presented with the NBA sixth man award Friday that goes to the league's top reserve.
