A host on Lions flagship radio proposes Williams + first for Burns

[top dawg]

Alright, guys, this is via SI Fan Nation. So, keep it in context (kind of like shooting the poo, but with a citywide audience). The writer reported that the host of 97.1 The Ticket, Jim Costa, has an idea. Costa said that provided that they could get a deal where they could get Brian Burns long term, then the Lions should offer the Panthers Jameson Williams plus a first for Brian Burns.

 

"My point would be, they won in Kansas City without him, they won in Green Bay without him, they're in first place in this division without him," Costa explained. "He has been unreliable. He is not someone who is untouchable and to get a difference maker for this team, I would be willing to include him."

"Costa stated that the Lions could include a first round pick with Williams [contingent upon working] out an extension with Burns. On the flip side, he believes dealing Williams could be beneficial for the struggling Panthers' offense."

It's an interesting hypothetical. While we're at it, perhaps we could try and acquire John Metchie for Chinn since he's obviously not conducive to EE's scheme anyway.

What are your thoughts?

Moving Burns and getting two net first round assets in return is a good deal to me

At this point sure.

Williams is a major disappointment

You know what, considering the road we are heading down.....its not a bad proposal.

And if you want bryce to succeed that bad, why not get the guy who helped win him a Heisman.

Bryce is already familiar with him and should be some chemistry. Get a WR on a rookie deal instead of having to pay one. I'm all for this! Use Burn's money to lock up Luvu and Brown. Then get a 1st back!

I guess, if your emphasis is on him being stupid. Doesn't really mean that he can't play though.

I don't even care any more. Sure why not

Fitt is still a moron for not doing the rams deal.

Done

One of the few hypotheticals I’d actually be happy with

I’d do it

Hutchinson and Burns would be great for the Lions. That's a scary proposition.

I’ve been calling for us to try this in here for weeks
