The question now is which reciever will Matt Millen take with this year's first round pick ...

Tough to get the ball to receivers when the O-Line is swiss cheese...

He's right they could could soon be the best tandem in the game. Other things have to fall into place first though.

The worst thing that happened to the Lions was winning a few games last year... it bought Millen more years...

Matt Millen is the worst GM I have ever seen. How does this guy keep his job?

It's nice to hear a smart man like Coach Marinelli have no desire to trade Williams, but he's not GM. The only way trading Williams would be justified is if we got either help in the secondary, offensive line, or a good draft pick, like top 10

Wait until after this season when Williams leaves town and we are stuck with nothing in return. It is no secret that Williams is tired of the Lions and wants out. This is just another mistake on the long list of many the Lions continue to make. Instead of being smart and treating the team like a business they continue to think wishful thoughts and that everything will be great in the end.

It would just be stupid to trade away Williams.Lions need a threat on both sides of the field if they are going to try and compete.

For the love of sports, Fire Millen and take that high school junior varsity football coach Rod "Pound the Rock" Marinelli with you. Every other GM in the NFL is salivating at the prospect of making a trade with that moron Millen.

Your going to have to trade him if you are going to draft another wide receiver in the draft. Sooner or later you are going to have to many!!

they might take something else like a QB possible but another WR is possible

I wholeheartedly recommend a QB. Jon Kitna ain't the future for anybody but his wife.

I agree...

If I am a GM and Millen asks for a trade, I take it no matter what. Given Millens track recod, it is guaranteed to be in my favor in the long run...

They would be fools to trade Roy Williams.

However, if they do then I say come to Gang Green. He and I were born the same exact day so I'm a big fan of the dude.

Andre Woodson, quick fast & in a hurry. This is an organization that has a history of making bad personnel decisions before the Millen era started. From drafting Andre Ware, to not getting Bary Sanders the type of O-line that Emmitt had in Dallas, to giving Scott Michell all that money, only to lose his job to Charlie Batch, etc...The Lions are just continuing a tradition.

Barry, excuse me.

Mitchell, excuse me.

Mr. Beepo & bimanator,
You two are morons. Detroit threw the ball 3rd or 4th most in the NFL last year, much less than they ran it. Secondly, Marinelli was not calling the plays. The overrated and destructive Mike Martz was the offensive coordinator. Don't blame Marinelli, he's given very limited power and all he did was win more games than any Lions couch in what 5, 6 years?

Williams is a stud, but you can't blame him for wanting to win. If they got a team together this year that could atleast be respected and looking like they are actually improving he might stay.

I hope this is the year where Roy Williams just plays the game and keeps his mouth shut off of it. Tip the pizza guy, and don't celebrate a first down when you are getting blown out. And please, no more proclamations about how many points you "could" have scored.

I also wish the Lions would have waited a year to draft a QB instead of drafting Drew Stanton. He will end up being the white version of Charlie Batch - never finishing a season.

i heard the eagles had a possible trade for him, i would love to see roy williams in eagles green next season :)
