In 2007, Williams had 838 yards, five touchdowns and caught 64 passes. Williams missed four games due to injury. While it was a solid season, it didn’t compare to his numbers in 2006. That said, Williams played all 16 games and totaled 82 catches, 1,310 yards and seven touchdowns.

It’s not believed that the Lions are openly shopping him, but the team will likely let him go if they receive an offer that they deem fair. What teams are looking to add Williams?

Basically, every team that has a hole at wide receiver has been linked to Williams. Those teams include the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles.

In Dallas, Williams would team with Terrell Owens to from a deadly one-two punch. Williams would be returning to the state he went to college (University of Texas). The Redskins watched as all their receivers struggled last year and bringing in Williams would definitely be a big upgrade. The Eagles need a big, strong wide receiver to become the team’s leading redzone target.

No matter where Williams is in 2008, he’s in line for a bounce back fantasy football season. If he stays healthy, there’s no reason why he can’t go for 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns.

It wouldn’t be a shock to see the Giants make a trade. Shockey is a good player but he has an overbearing personality on the field. Some experts around the Giants have suggested that Shockey’s injury allowed Eli Manning to grow into more of a leadership role with the Giants. Bringing Shockey back into the fold would mess with their proven Super Bowl championship level chemistry.

Additionally, Kevin Boss (Shockey’s backup at tight end) played well for the Giants in the playoffs last season. He’s not as good of a receiver but he has good hands and he’s a good blocker. His team-first personality was also praised throughout their postseason run.

If Shockey is traded, the team that seems to be most interested is the New Orleans Saints. This comes as a bit of a surprise because the Saints have two solid tight ends under contract in Eric Johnson and Billy Miller. Johnson and Miller combined to come up with big plays for New Orleans last year. Although, it’s undeniable that Shockey would be an upgrade for the Saints. The Saints would likely offer draft picks to the Giants in their trade offers.

Another team that makes sense is the Detroit Lions. The Lions are desperate for a star tight end and Shockey would be a good match for their passing offense.
