Roy Williams (WR) for a 2nd Round Pick?

"The availability of wide receiver Roy Williams is also in hot debate with Jacksonville, Tennessee, Tampa Bay and New Orleans all interested. The Lions are looking for a second round pick and have told several clubs they would even consider a pick in next years' draft to get a deal done."

Normally, I don't like the fact we tend to get rid of our picks for stuff like this.. but Roy Williams... damn! that's what we need.. a big receiver..!

Rod Marinelli has heard the rumors that Roy Williams is on the trading block, and he isn't paying any attention to them.

Williams isn't going anywhere, Marinelli said Sunday. He wants Williams and Calvin Johnson as his starting receivers.

"I know the rumors that are out there," Marinelli said. "Those two guys together, I want to see those guys where they can really impact a game. They are special. They've got to have, and they will have, great years for us. We have to ensure they have grat years.

"Those are explosive weapons. Not many people have two guys like that on a team. We've got to do everything we can do to protect our quarterback and get the all to those two big guys." I don't. I'm very confident he's here. Very confident.

i would do it for a 2009 2nd rounder

In a heartbeat.

What's the deal with this though. Why is detroit trying to unload him? It seems to me that he and CJ make a pretty potent team and a huge benefit to any QB they start.

I guess they feel he's expendable because they like the combo of Mike Furrey and CJ and they are happy with their depth, and perhaps they feel that they can give him away for a draft pick because they have other issues on the team they'd like to address.
