Receiver Roy Williams should be entering the final 13 games of his Lions career.

Williams, of course, is in the last year of his original rookie contract with a team that doesn't appear talented enough to win right away. If the Lions do it right, the firing of president/general manager Matt Millen will spark another rebuilding project, possibly with a new head coach and a new offensive scheme.

Williams is one of the Lions' two most-talented players, along with fellow receiver Calvin Johnson. You could make an argument that talent-challenged teams shouldn't be eager to ship out one of their best players. But as the Lions try once again to get themselves on track, Williams could be the Lions' Jared Allen.

No, the Lions probably wouldn't get as much in a trade as Kansas City received for Allen last spring. Trading Williams, however, would give them an opportunity to re-stock more quickly with additional draft choices. It would also allow the Lions to part ways with an assertive personality who might not take another rebuilding project to heart.

Dealing Williams -- either before the trading deadline or during the offseason via the franchise tag -- would rob the Lions of their one personnel strength: A pair of dynamic receivers who both require double teams. The Lions, however, might find it necessary to break up the Williams-Johnson duo in order to build a winner.

Cowboys seem to be a likely destination but money talks. I am sure if Miami or Baltimore threw enough money his way, he'd listen.
