It appears that Jameson Williams might be on his way out of town.
The days leading up to the draft are getting even spicier as there may be something to the rumblings about a possible breakup between him and the Lions.
Williams has apparently unfollowed the Lions on social media, an act that is often one of the first steps in an eventual breakup between athlete and team.
Williams has also posted “Stay sucka free” on social media, which is likely yet another sign that things aren’t going well behind the scenes.
Some NFL circles believe the Lions could trade Jameson Williams, a former first-round pick entering the final year of his rookie deal.
The team has a decision to make on him.
The Lions earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC last season, and they are expected to make another run at the Super Bowl in 2025.
Part of a quality 1-2 punch with Amon-Ra St. Brown, it would seem as though Detroit is set at receiver if they decide to keep him aboard.

The Lions need to decide by May 1 if they are picking up Williams’ fifth-year option, which is one of the things that is surely driving the trade rumors.
Should they trade Jameson Williams, they would get a lot in return as he enjoyed a breakout 2024 season that saw him set career highs with 58 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns while averaging a whopping 17.3 yards per catch.
