Roy Williams on the way out?
Despite an 0-3 start and a little thing called the salary cap that prevents them from paying top dollar to two elite wideouts, the Lions claim that they don’t plan to trade receiver Roy Williams. On Thursday, new G.M. Martin Mayhew announced the team’s intentions, but at the same time indicated that he would listen to any offers. That tells us that the Lions are trying to get the word out that Williams is available, without losing any leverage. As the season already looks like a lost cause for the Lions and given the presence of several high-end teams who might be able to utilize Williams’ services in search of a Super Bowl title, franchises like the Cowboys, Eagles, and even the Giants (especially with the Plaxico Burress situation) would be wise to call Mayhew, and Mayhew would be wise to take the best offer he can get. Williams is in the final year of his rookie deal. Second-year receiver Calvin Johnson is an emerging force. As the Cardinals have learned the hard way, it’s impossible to pay two high-end receivers market value. The 39-year-old Schneider spent just one

Yeah, hopefully he’ll come to Dallas. Patrick Crayton has been absolutely invisible.

I would like to see the Eagles offer Lito Sheppard for Williams, straight up.

3 weeks into the season and these guys are throwing in the towel. While I agree Matty boy did a horrible job, I believe this attitude is indicative of an organization-wide disease. Football is about scratching and clawing for every point and yard, and this franchise is peopled with management that wilts from the first punch. Get out! Buy a day spa or a yoga franchise instead. Pilates gym maybe. What ****. I’m a recovering Oakland fan, but as bad as the Raiders are, at least they will put a thumb in an opponents eye.
