The Detroit Lions made a bold gamble by trading three picks to the Minnesota Vikings for the rights to draft Jameson Williams.
The Alabama star immediately showed his potential, but injuries and a gambling suspension have overshadowed his promise. Things haven’t gone as Detroit or Williams had hoped.
The Kansas City Chiefs urgently need a pass catcher. In their Monday Night Football matchup against the New Orleans Saints, they plan to focus on their passing game, with Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice unavailable.
The Chiefs will lean on Justin Watson and JuJu Smith-Schuster, while Mecole Hardman, despite a knee injury, hopes to contribute.
The Chiefs have been looking to strengthen their wide receiver group. Relying on a limited big-play receiver could be disastrous for a team that thrives on explosive plays.
While Patrick Mahomes is a stellar quarterback, even his talents have limits. Now is the time to act, especially with Travis Kelce aging quickly.
Williams has appeared in 22 games, recording 38 receptions for 684 yards and five touchdowns. This brief career is far from what the Lions envisioned. The best move is to trade Williams, and the Chiefs should seize this opportunity.
The timing works well with a bye week after the Saints game. The schedule toughens in October with games against San Francisco and Las Vegas. This trade would benefit the Chiefs both in 2024 and beyond.
