Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes shuts down Jameson Williams trade rumors

For the past few weeks, speculation has spread about the Detroit Lions potentially trading wide receiver Jameson Williams. After Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Lions general manager Brad Holmes emphatically shut down that conversation

“No, that’s something that we have never entertained. I don’t know where that report came from, but that’s not a conversation that me and Dan (Campbell) have ever had,” Holmes said.

Speculation began when Holmes said at the owners meeting that they were not ready to commit to a long-term deal with Williams, noting that that’s a tough position to pay.
