Long overdue.

He rivals Isiah as worst sports exec in history.

Fox New (Jay Glazer) reporting live on FoxSports News that Millen has been fired.

Jerry makes call to replacement and "learns him something" about how to make deal.

 

[juck]

Roy Williams say hello to having a star on ur helmet.lol.

 

[juck]

Roy Williams-its only a matter of time now,u will get ur star on ur helmet.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Anything think Jerry will try and pry the new GMs hands off Roy Williams within 2 days of him/her taking office? :laugh2:

 

[CATCH17]

Wow I didnt think they would do it.

Those guys need to just tear that sucker apart and rebuild.

Also trade Roy Williams to Dallas for our #1.

This next year is not really a good year to draft a QB either. Poor guys.

 

[kevwun]

I didn't know it was possible.

 

[superpunk]

And thus ended the streak of years where you could make cheap jokes about the Lions taking a WR with their first pick.

RIP Matt Millen, GM.

They got the dude from MSU Staton i think his name is and I think they picked up a QB this year also.

I hope he returns to the broadcast booth. I always liked him as the analyist/color guy.

Why a #1? This is not a sellers market and Detroit is now desperate. Roy can be had for less than a 1st rounder.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Arrrgh! Now there is no way that Jerry can trade Carp for Roy Williams. Millen would be the only guy dumb enough to do that trade!

Hey, who wants to guess what embarrassing/incriminating pictures Matt Millen releases of the Ford family in the next few days that allowed him to keep his job so long in the first place?

But there is the Philly factor, are they to cheap or would they be smart enough to make a move to prevent us from making a move? This could have a large impact on the price and demand value for Williams WR.

It might still be a #1. If the NEW GM comes in and calls Danny then he will give a #1... heck he might give two #1's.

The Lions are STILL in good position for demanding as much as they can.

Because teams will give a 1 for Roy Williams.

We may have to overpay to get him.

Doubt it.

They won't trade RW to us, not with our first-round pick being a 2 for the most part. I am assuming we'll get a playoff win or 2. They would ask for way more than that, and it's just not worth it.
