Breaking News: Corey Williams Traded To Lions
-
Browns defensive lineman Corey Williams made it clear last year that he wasn't happy in Cleveland. Now he's on the way out.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that unnamed sources say Williams will land with the Lions in exchange for a late-round draft pick. Mortensen writes that Williams is scheduled to take a physical on Friday to finalize the trade from the Browns to the Lions.
Although acquiring Williams would bolster the Lions' defensive line, Mortensen writes that the Lions wouldn't be done upgrading their defensive line there. Per Mortensen, the Lions may also sign free agent defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and draft Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
Williams played in all 16 games for the Browns last year and recorded four sacks.

This makes a lot of sense. This is something that i had talked about in a post earliar. that it wouldnt surprise me if we saw corey williams as a trade piece to get another draft pick. I was really hoping that we could at least get a 4th for him or get a couple of teams that were in dire need on d linemen ala Carolina and Detroit in a bidding war and possibly get a 3rd for him but from the sounds of it doesnt sound to promising im hoping at least a 5th now!!! If anything saves us some serious loot that savage over paid on to use towards other players. Perhaps why we are seeing this early on in the free agency period. whatever the result good move, williams was not happy here and didnt fit our system at all. If the only thing it does is bring a late pick and save us a ton of money then it still is a very good move.

If it is a 5th round pick use it to get Troy Smith possibly?

Next to Nothing, if it does end up being a 5th round pick im right there with you brother. With four 5th round picks it wouldnt hurt to use one on troy smith just to even give him a try out and see if he could start or even be a very good back up. Would be very well worth it!

That's what I'm saying, yeah Troy Smith could turn out to be nothing but a career backup, but why not give him a try? Quinn and Anderson haven't done anything and from what I've read both of them may be gone before next season. It is pretty much 100% that we'll be taking a QB at some point in this draft whether we bring in a veteran or not so I say grab Smith and see what the kid can do.

Wow if the Lions did all that...watch out. Seriously.
Im glad this happened. Williams was overrated. And now we have 12 picks
What is the record for most picks in the draft? Id love to find that out.

Just say no to giving the Rats a pick.
In NBA speak, this was a salary dump on an underachiever.

I agree....and frees up his cash to sign a FA....maybe a QB??

I'de be okay with that but still, if we were to go and get Troy Smith, it would essentially be Cory Williams for Troy Smith. That doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. But if we were to make an offer to Troy, would we give up our 5th round or would we have a choice on which 5th round pick we give them? Because we have 3 or 4 5th round picks right now.

You're probably right, they may have wanted to cut him but took what they could instead. But would it be so bad if we essentially got Troy Smith for Williams? At the very least we would have a really quality backup here for a long time.

again, where do you get this idea from that he is a quality backup? he has shown no reason to believe that. ohio state fans need to stop thinking he is going to be great, yet he only had one good year during college. in case your forgetting (and i'm guessing not a lot of people knew this) quinn had better stats his senior season than smith did, with less talent around him to boot. smith just had a better running game and a much better defense and we all know how he has turned out. if smith had gone to a different school would everybody still be advocating that he came here? no, he would be a punch line. if it weren't for the fact that he went to o-state then nobody would want him, just like nobody wants jason white. smith is nothing, and will be nothing.

such a god awful post
he also hasnt proven that he couldnt be a good/great QB works both ways
in Smiths senior season they had to replace 9 starters all of which went in the 1st 4 rounds, 5 went in the 1st round
you dont go to a NCG the next year without having a great QB and losing all that talent
there was more alot talent on the team his junior year when he was splitting time with Zwick and they lost 2 games

I know Troy gets a lot of love around here, but if we are going to look for a QB somewhere, I think we are looking a little higher up the ladder.

LOL, another case of "being careful of what you wish for".
Unless I'm mistaken, Williams was reported to have been chanting, "Holmgren, Holmgren" in the Browns locker room - before Holmgren was hired and while Mangini's return was in question.
Have fun in Detroit, Cory, you got your wish.
PS Another wasted 3rd Round Pick/Trade in the Savage era.

There you go. Ask yourself this:
Would you rather use a 5th round pick on Tim Tebow? Or a 5th round pick on Troy Smith? If it "had" to be one or the other.
(Who know, Tebow could still be there in round 5)
