Lions have no plans to trade Roy Williams

While there aren't a lot of personnel decisions to be made in-season for new Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew, one of them is considering deals before the Oct. 14 trade deadline.

Mayhew said that he has no plans to open trade talks involving receiver Roy Williams, who will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

Like every GM in the league, Mayhew said he would listen to any offers but he doesn't expect to make any calls concerning Williams and doesn't expect to receive any.

Brilliant!

Nice to know that despite the change at the top that the Lions are still the Lions.

I guess Mayhew is just happy to sit in the seat for a while and not make any waves.

Until ownership gives total control to the next guy and Mayhew is out on his can after sitting on his hands for the next 4 months.

If the plan was to do nothing, why not wait until after the season to fire Millen?

The names may change, but the utter incompetence remains...

I'd shoot for a 1st, 3rd and 5th for RW myself were I gm.
I can't imagine any team would give that for a WR who is in the last year of his deal, and whose production has been inconsistent.

In his defense, look has been throwing him the ball.

Sure, but the main point is that he can be signed next offseason, without forking over draft picks in a trade. The Lions are idiotic for not shopping him now.
