Especially when you factor in that Detroit really doesn't have any desperation to get rid of Roy because he's still in a contract year regardless. Yes, FINALLY, the Lions will have the upperhand if and when a trade negotiation occurs.<BR/><BR/>The recent Vikings trade for Jared Allen also opened my eyes a lot to the Roy scenario. I didn't think that too many teams would be willing to give up a multitude of draft picks for a player when they'll have to negotiate a costly long-term contract immediately following that huge investment of draft picks. However, the Vikes just lost 3 fairly high picks (1 1st, 2 3rds) and THEN signed Allen to the most costly contract ever for a defensive player. <BR/><BR/>Coupled with this is the fact that no one's completely sure that we'll have a salary cap in the next few years so we may see a team like the Cowboys or even the Eagles who's willing to throw a ton of money at Williams and give up valuable draft picks in the process.<BR/><BR/><BR/>For the record, I still don't agree with getting rid of Roy, considering that he's one of the best players the Lions have drafted in the past decade. Having said that though, we may be approaching a deal that's very difficult to pass on. Just keep in mind that CJ is anything but a proven prospect ...at least no more than Charlie Rogers was.<BR/><BR/>-StreetWormAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
