Lions to show interest in DeAngelo Williams?

[csx]

they seem to make sense in that most would rather focus on building the OL....that's the smart thing

That part does make sense, but they seem to think they would be getting robbed with offering their 2nd rounder for a player like DeAngelo.

[MadHatter]

Has anyone looked at the source(Detriot fan comments) about this proposed trade? It's pretty laughable to see what some of them are saying...

They are the Detroit Lions....would you expect anything more from that franchise or its fanbase?

[pstall]

Seems vogue to avoid a 1st rder like the plague this year.

[Peppers90 NC]

So they can ruin another great back?

See they will only offer a 2nd b/c once he arrives, with that team, he will have been ruined. Therefore, he is not worth the first round pick that he is worth while on our team.

[CatMan72]

LOL, they're debating about whether or not Williams is worth a 2nd round pick... :out:

[csx]

for them, he isn't

Who is the buffoon who wrote this article?

A 2nd round lowball offer for a guy who is arguably the best at his position in the entire league?

The guy who is the very staple of our offense?

No thanks, moron.

What all of you talking about a long contract fail to realize is you can make the numbers be anything you want but all that counts is what is guaranteed which is the signing bonus.

What you seem to fail to realize is that there is to parties when a contract is made. The team and the player. No player and agent in their right mind would make a contract of 8 years and put all of the guarantees in the first years...

The way you make it sound is that the Panthers can set up the contract as they please. And BTW look at Jacksons contract again he is making pretty much the same every year of his contract so its not like he is just making a penny a year the first years and then 10 millions in the last couple of years. Do you really think Jacksons agent is so stupid that all of his guarantees lays in the first couple of years?

Chris Johnson pending monster contract is not gonna make it any cheaper to sign Williams.

Exactly. Not to mention he'd be moving from a 8-8 team that's been to the playoffs during his tenure here, to a 2-14 club that was 0-16 prior to that.

There is a lot of respect for Barry Sanders by many RBs... but I doubt anyone wants to emulate his career experiences.

Johnson's deal won't be done until after DeAngelo gets his next one.

[thetrooper]

I hope the panthers don't let Williams go

[Kettle]

so in addition to nearly all their games, the lions are now losing their minds

[PantherBrew]

Calvin Johnson FTW!!!

That is not a number.

Suck it Trebek.
