After being assured by management that he will not be traded, Lions receiver Roy Williams has decided that he wants to play his entire career with the team, according to the Detroit Free Press. "I want to stay here. I think we're headed in the right direction," Williams said Wednesday. "I'm ready to do whatever," he added. "If they want to make me a Lion for life, I'm good with that. If not, I'm just going to play my type of ball and see what happens after that."

According to a source, the Cowboys and Titans are having trade talks surrounding Pacman Jones. Manubir Arora, Jones' agent, says the Patriots and Lions are also interested in his client. Asked Jones' preference of a future team, Arora said, "Every kid grows up wanting to play for the Dallas Cowboys." "We want to go to an established team with good infrastructure and leadership," Arora told Werder. "Both the Cowboys and Patriots have veteran coaches who have been through these kinds of things before, good player liaisons and mentoring, and if you have those things and a winning program, then I think all these problems go away. "All of Adam's issues have been offseason issues, not team issues."

Lions' Coach Rod Marinelli continues to insist that wide receiver Roy Williams isn't going anywhere, according to the Detroit Free Press. "Roy is here," he said.

Then the old dad keeps coming out and says, 'Nope.' "

For the second-straight season Jon Kitna claims that the Lions can win ten games in the upcoming season, according to the Detroit Free Press. "Last year was not a prediction; it was a statement of fact that if we didn't win 10 games, we would be disappointed, and I would say that would still hold true this year," Kitna said. "We will be disappointed, but we're going to be a better football team." He thinks that Tatum Bell can help take the team to the next level this season. "I'm excited about Tatum Bell. I love Tatum Bell. I think he's going to be great in this system," Kitna said. "He's obviously been a 1,000-yard rusher in this league."
