We’ve picked up some more information about those rumors on GCobb.com that the Philadelphia Eagles will make a move this week for Lions receiver Roy Williams.
The Eagles-based web site says that the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins are in the hunt for Williams.
On Monday, however, coach Rod Marinelli and CEO Matt Millen again said that Williams, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, will not be traded.
As we hear it, the Eagles offered cornerback Lito Sheppard and a draft pick a couple of weeks ago, and the Lions flatly refused.
We’re also told that the Eagles have made inquiries regarding Bengals receiver Chad Johnson, to no avail. A media source thinks that Door No. 3 could be Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin.

Boldin is not quite the big body that would be the ideal WR for the Eagles , but he’s a legit #1 WR and from what I can tell, a solid citizen. That makes him an excellent choice, should the Cards want to trade. Ditto for Roy Williams. Either could be a poor man’s Moss to team up with Curtis as the poor man’s Welker - and vastly improve the team’s offensive options.
Right now neither the Cards nor the Lions are publicly amenable to these trades. Could be the truth, or could be a strategy. We’ll see what happens during the draft, and afterwards once the dust settles.
The one guy you can count out IMO is 85. Cincy wants to show the world who’s the boss of Chad, so he’s not going anywhere, but even were he available, the personality similarities of TO and Stinko are too rank for Andy Reid’s delicate nose.

Let me ask you a question. Was Steve Young a Hall-of-Famer before throwing to Rice and Co? He didn’t look like it in Tampa. Was Bradshaw a Hall-of-Famer before Swann and Stallworth? Wasn’t he accused of being the least intelligent QB in the league? Wasn’t Manning’s only option for a while Harrison (before Wayne was even drafted)? Manning threw a record number of INTs until he and Marvin built a special relationship. That is more than one question but none of those QBs appeared to HOF until their teams added high caliber receivers.
