Lions get Corey Williams, seventh-round pick from Browns for fifth-rounder

ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said that Detroit sent a fifth-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for defensive tackle Corey Williams and a seventh-round draft pick.

The fifth-round choice is Detroit's second of that round -- the one they received in a trade with Denver last season -- in this year's draft.

The Lions introduced Williams to the media today, but have indicated they will not bring out either Kyle Vanden Bosch or Nate Burleson for interviews.

Vanden Bosch is believed to be in Detroit but the Lions are likely "holding'' Vanden Bosch until tomorrow so they can stretch out the media coverage for two days.

I can't wait to watch the news tonight, Jesus.

At least we know they will continue to be active. I really hope we do end up getting a LG, RB, and CB like he said. Not getting Cromartie is going to hurt us probably:/

Also Chester Taylor signed with the Bears, so it looks like Thomas Jones is probably our only option. Hopefully they do go after him.

 

[RipCity32]

I guess we are really close to signing Jones. My friend said he heard on the radio he is meeting with us today to talk contract.

As for CB help, the Jets also released Litp Sheppard. Interesting to see if we go there too.

I heard on the radio that they're gonna have Calvin Johnson start at DB and WR this season.

March 3, Sports Illustrated: Thomas Jones, running back
Where he will sign: Detroit — The Lions have the greatest need and thus should be willing to pay the most. With Kevin Smith a question mark health-wise, Detroit has to address the position either this month in free agency or next month in the draft. Jones ran for 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, and his tough and reliable running style would help take some of the burden off Matthew Stafford's young shoulders. But Jones would fit in well in a lot of places, including San Diego, Houston, New England and Philadelphia.

Take it for what it's worth I guess lol.

 

[Blake]

Doubt the Lions will fork out all the money he's gonna want in the long run.

Ah man if the Lions get Jones I will be so happy. Mayhem and Jim Schwartz are great minds Im telling you.

Free-agent running back Thomas Jones will sign with the Lions, according to the Detroit News.

Jones, 31, gained 1,402 yards and scored 14 touchdowns for the Jets last season. He was released last week in a cost-cutting move.

Though it seems like it's just speculation at this point.

 

[RipCity32]

We just released Grady Jackson. Would of been nice for depth, but oh well.

 

[Blake]

It's almost five, hopefully Detroit will close down for the day then.

I've heard enough about the Lions for a while.

 

[RipCity32]

After we lock up Jones

And hopefully Sheppard or another CB, and a RG lol.

 

[.infamous]

Get Jones and Sheppard and Ill be happy get the rest in the Draft

 

[RipCity32]

I also heard bringing back Dre Bly could be an option

Though just a fan rumor I'm likely assuming.

 

[.infamous]

Hopefully we get bly to haha.

 

[RipCity32]

Either way I'm very happy with what we have done thus far.

 

[.infamous]

Yeah have you heard anymore news yet? because I havent.
