As a continuation of our dismantling of the Detroit Lions, The Fantasy Men are trading WR Roy Williams to the Philadelphia Eagles, in exchange for Philadelphia's 2nd round pick in the 2009 draft. With Tom Brady out for the year, and the Colts looking pretty bad, Philadelphia has to be considered a top six or seven favorite to win the Super Bowl this year. This move solidifies their offense, and gives Donovan McNabb a level-headed superstar wide receiver that he has never had. On the Lions end, this move gives us an extra first day draft pick next year, that could be packaged with our own second rounder to acquire an extra first rounder, or used to add depth. For all his talent, Roy Williams doesn't help us get towards our long term goal, targeting three years down the road. Mike Furrey will be elevated to the starting role opposite Calvin Johnson, one of the legitimate building blocks of this team. We don't think he will perform as well as the #2 as he would out of the slot, but we aren't so much interested in winning games this year.
To fill the vacated roster spot, we will sign recently released WR Mark Bradley to a three year deal.
