There were a lot of differing opinions about the posibility of Chad Johnson becoming a Redskin and after veiwing a couple of boards, I found a couple of articles about the possibilty of the team being in the hunt for Roy Williams and he could be moved by the end of the week...

Mike Quick who is the analyst for the Eagles games with Merrill Reese says there will be news about Roy Williams before the week is out.
Mike Quick says he thinks the Birds are going to make a major move at the wide receiver position. He talked about Roy Williams and the potential that the Eagles will make a deal to acquire a wide receiver. He says there will be news on Roy Williams before the week is out.
That means the Cowboys, Redskins or the Eagles will probably wind up with the receiver before the week is out.
Mike just finished doing a live interview in a webcast with G. Cobb and Steve Martorano from Infiniti of Westchester and he says the Birds will try to do something this week. They're in a bidding a war right now.,
When asked about the Birds fear of being upstaged by the Phillies, Flyers and Sixers, Mike said he believes the Eagles are going to do something this weekend to take back all the attention.
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/21/eagles-to-make-a-major-move-at-receiver/GCobb.com (which has been nailing many an Eagles scoop this offseason) says that Eagles radio analyst Mike Quick says he thinks that the Eagles “will make a major move” at receiver this week.
Apparently, the Cowboys and the Redskins are in the hunt as well.
Williams, one of the rare first-round wideouts chosen by the Lions during the past decade who has turned into a solid player, is signed through 2008. But with receiver Calvin Johnson, the No. 2 overall selection in 2007, entering his second year and commanding a big chunk of cap space, the Lions have to ask themselves whether they should get try to get value for Williams now, or face losing him after the coming season. (They could also put the franchise tag on him and then trade him, but they would need roughly $10 million in cap space on the books in order to carry his one-year franchise tender until a trade would be worked out.)
Let's face it, with our WR situation and the fact that we did not do anything to make it better in the FA signing period, this can be a possibilty before the draft even starts because as we all seem to agree on, the receiver position is a hard one to predict as far as prospects are concerned.
So would it be okay to pick up Williams because his trade scenario has been more quiet than CJ's has been?
