The Detroit Lions are coming off back to back years where they shattered franchise records. Not only have the won the NFC North for the first time ever, they did it two years in a row. In 2024, they won 15 games and claimed the number one seed in the NFC.
However, as the 2025 season approaches, they’ve lost both their offensive and defensive coordinators to head coaching jobs. Now, they’re in a real position to move on from one of their best playmakers.
Breaking: Lions Just Screwed Up Massively With Jameson Williams
As reports about every NFL team’s draft plans surface, it might as well be called “Smokescreen Season.” However, that may not be the case for Detroit:
When it comes to the Detroit Lions and wideout Jameson Williams, it appears that there may be something to the rumblings about a possible breakup between the two parties.
Williams has apparently unfollowed the Lions on social media, an act that is often one of the first steps in an eventual breakup between athlete and team. Williams has also posted “Stay sucka free” on social media, yet another possible sign that something is going on between himself and the Lions.
There is reportedly a belief in some NFL circles that the Lions could trade Williams, a former first-round pick who is entering the final year of his rookie deal. Speaking of his contract, the Lions need to decide by May 1 if they are picking up Williams’ fifth-year option, which is one of the things that is surely driving the trade rumors.
It’s safe to say that the Lions would get something decent in return for Williams, who enjoyed a breakout 2024 season that saw him set career highs with 58 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns while averaging a whopping 17.3 yards per catch. Williams, based on last year’s production, appears to be a player on the rise as he enters his fourth season as a pro.
This is a look at Williams’ stats thus far:
