As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Detroit Lions are in a strong position to build on their already impressive roster. Despite a rough playoff exit to the Commanders, this team is loaded—especially on offense.
But as the draft buzz heats up, so do the trade rumors. And this time, it’s Jameson Williams’ name getting thrown around.
The former first-round pick has become a fan favorite in Detroit, especially after breaking out last season. But on Monday, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer stirred the pot, hinting that Williams could be a trade candidate with his fifth-year option deadline looming. That speculation quickly caught fire—and Williams noticed.
Late Monday night, Williams responded with a cryptic but clear message on his Instagram story:
“Loyalty b4 any n everything.”
Short and to the point.
While GM Brad Holmes has said publicly he expects the Lions to keep Williams, the NFL offseason is always unpredictable. Still, Williams’ message sends a strong signal—he wants to stay in Detroit.
Now the ball is in the Lions’ court as the draft approaches. Will they stay loyal to their speedster, or shake things up?
