5 NFL Teams That Could Make a Move for Jameson Williams
Jameson Williams reminded everyone in 2024 why he was once a highly touted first-round pick. The Detroit Lions wide receiver turned heads with a breakout season, racking up 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns. But as he heads into the final guaranteed year of his rookie deal, questions about his future in Detroit are starting to surface.
Lions GM Brad Holmes has gone on record saying the team wants to keep Williams around, and early signs suggest they may pick up his fifth-year option. But with contract extensions looming for several of the team’s key players, the front office has some tough decisions to make.
That kind of uncertainty? It tends to generate plenty of buzz.
As Lions OnSI’s Christian Booher recently reported, “several NFL teams could be monitoring the situation closely—and some might be ready to pounce if Detroit opens the door to a deal.”
So who’s potentially in the mix?
Here are five teams that reportedly could be keeping a close eye on Williams’ status:
- Dallas Cowboys
- Houston Texans
- Los Angeles Chargers
- Seattle Seahawks
- Arizona Cardinals
Each of these franchises not only has the draft picks to make a compelling offer, but they also have a clear need for a game-breaking talent like Williams. Whether it’s a team looking for a deep threat to round out their offense or a rebuilding squad seeking a dynamic weapon, Williams checks a lot of boxes.
Of course, this all hinges on whether the Lions are even open to dealing him. As of now, nothing suggests a move is imminent. Detroit could very well opt to stick with Williams, extend him, and make him part of their long-term core.
Bottom Line:
There’s no guarantee Williams is heading anywhere. But with the 2025 NFL Draft approaching, the possibility of a trade is at least on the table. And if the Lions do decide to test the waters, there won’t be a shortage of teams ready to make an offer.
For now, Lions fans can breathe easy—but the rumor mill is already spinning.
