"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."

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.
