The Detroit Lions are expected to exercise wide receiver Jameson Williams' fifth-year option, as confirmed by general manager Brad Holmes. After a standout 2024 season, where Williams achieved over 1,000 receiving yards and was a crucial part of the team's success, Holmes believes Williams has more potential to unlock. Originally the 12th overall pick in the 2022 draft, Williams' performance solidified his role alongside All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions are also considering contract extensions for other key players this offseason, including Kerby Joseph and Aidan Hutchinson.
It’s heading that way that we are most likely gonna be doing that, He was a tremendous player for us last year. He's still scratching the surface.
In the 2022 NFL draft, the Lions traded up 20 spots to make Williams the 12th overall selection out of Alabama. He experienced a breakout season.
Holmes certainly sees Williams as a potential long-term fit, but they're also prioritizing possible extensions for All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph and star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson.
Jameson Williams scored seven receiving touchdowns as a deep-ball threat, while racking up 61 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown as well.
