From Phill.com:
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported Tuesday that some teams are saying that the Lions are shopping wide receiver Roy Williams. According to Schefter, back in April, the Lions were requesting two first-round draft picks for Williams. The Lions say they’d only deal Williams if an offer that was too good to be true was made.
In Sunday’s loss to the Bears, Williams expressed his frustration on the sidelines, according to the Detroit Free Press, and fans chanted for the team to trade him. However, Williams told the paper he wants to be a Lion:
“Let me clarify this for everybody,” he said. “If I didn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t go in. I’ve got the money to sit down on the sideline, OK? So if I didn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t play. When the ball’s thrown my way, I’m trying to get to the end zone. That’s my job. So when you see me catch a ball, if I don’t give you the first-down sign, I don’t want to be here.”
