The Detroit Lions, led by general manager Brad Holmes, have assembled one of the best football lineups in recent years, with wide receiver Jameson Williams shining out as one of their draft picks.
Williams was picked No. 12 overall in the 2022 NFL draft and had a career year last season, catching 58 passes for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns. Detroit appears to have a solid 1-2 punch at receiver with Amon-Ra St. Brown.

However, in his annual NFL draft needs essay, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer noted that the Lions may want to upgrade the wide receiver room, adding that with a decision on Williams’ fifth-year option coming, “some in NFL circles” feel he might be sold.
For what it’s worth, Holmes told reporters during the annual league meetings in March that the organization will “most likely” exercise Williams’ fifth-year option, but he may still be traded.
“He was a tremendous player for us last year,” Holsaid says. “I just think it just makes sense for us to do what we can to keep him around.”
Williams, who is only 24 years old, has already served two suspensions in the NFL. Once in 2023 for breaking the NFL’s gambling policy, and again in ’24 for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy.
