Jameson Williams To Be Traded to the Miami Dolphins

When the Detroit Lions originally drafted Jameson Williams the expectations were set extremely high for the Alabama product as he came to the NFL after a year on the Crimson Tide in which he had 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns. The hope was for that to translate to the NFL, and become another threat opposite of Amon-Ra St. Brown. Williams had shown flashes, but he had a limited rookie season due to recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in the National Championship game, and then in 2023 missed time dealing with Gambling and PED suspensions.

Finally last season in 2024, he displayed his potential with 1,020 yards and seven touchdowns over 59 receptions. Yet for the Lions, they have a decision to make with Williams this season as his rookie contract is coming to an end, and they also have to start considering what they will have to pay Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Aidan Hutchinson. With those three contracts coming up, the Lions could find themselves trading Williams with the increased buzz around him, and a fresh start could do Williams some good as well.

With the Miami Dolphins, they become an ideal destination as the Dolphins’ offense is built around speed, and Williams certainly can provide that. For Mike McDaniel’s offense, getting a receiver in there like Williams who is just 24 years old would give him someone else to help build the receiver room around for the future opposite Jaylen Waddle.

With Tyreek Hill’s future up in the air after comments he made to end the season, engaging with trade posts on social media, and the off the fields allegations, Miami needs to get more long-term stability at the wide receiver spot. With Hill also being 31, and coming off a down year where his speed wasn’t much of a factor anymore, his overall future in the NFL is in question as he could be nearing retirement soon.

Adding Jameson Williams give the Miami Dolphins the playmaker they need on the outside to stretch the field, and someone that can be a reliable target for Tua Tagovailoa, or any other quarterback the Dolphins decide to go with for the future.
