Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes made it pretty clear his intentions are to activate the fifth-year rookie option for receiver Jameson Williams.
“It’s heading that way, that we’re, you know, most likely gonna be doing that,” Holmes said Monday at the NFL owners meetings in Florida. “Look, he was a tremendous player for us last year. He’s still scratching the surface. I do think he’s got more in him as well. So I just think it just makes sense for us to do what we can to keep him around.”
Because Williams was a first-round pick, the Lions get the opportunity to extend his rookie contract one more year (into the 2026 season) for a fully-guaranteed season, automatically set at $15,493,000.
