Update:
The Patriots announced their trade with the Lions on Wednesday that will send a future seventh-round pick to Detroit in return for OT Michael Williams.
———–
Ben Volin reports that the Patriots have traded a draft pick to the Lions in return for OT Michael Williams.
- Field Yates reports that the Patriots are sending a future seventh-round pick to the Lions.
It would not be surprising to hear that this pick is conditional, seeing as the Patriots have made a number of similar trades in the past.
New England could really use some offensive line depth, but it would probably be a mistake to assume Williams is going to be on their 53-man roster at this point in time.
Williams, 24, is a former seventh-round pick of the Lions back in 2013. He wound up making the 53-man roster during his rookie, but was later placed on waivers the following year. Detroit wound up bringing him back on a one-year contract this past January.
Williams has yet to appear in an NFL game.
