Lions Reach Deal With First-Rounder Jameson Williams
3 years agoThe Detroit Lions and first-round wide receiver Jameson Williams agreed to a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie deal on Thursday, according to a source. The deal includes a fifth-year team option. The Lions have now locked up both of their first-round selections in Williams and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who was the second overall pick. Detroit took Williams at No. 12 overall, and although there are questions about whether he'll be ready for the season due to an ACL tear suffered in the National Championship game, Williams has perhaps the most upside of any rookie receiver. The 21-year-old could get off to a slow start in his first season if he's delayed, which makes him much more attractive in dynasty leagues in drafts this fall.
