The Facts:
The Williams trade talk heated up Sunday at Ford Field after a frustrating game in which Williams, Jon Kitna and the entire offense seemed out of sync. Despite his obvious frustration, Williams was unequivocal about wanting to remain a Lion. "Let me clarify this for everybody," he said. "If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't go in. I've got the money to sit down on the sideline, OK? So if I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't play."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The NFL trading deadline is 4 p.m. Oct. 14, and speculation of Williams' departure is nearing a fever pitch. Officially, the Lions said Sunday there has been no discussion about trading Williams. Coach Rod Marinelli said there has been no internal talk about trading Williams. Team V.P. Tom Lewand said the Lions are not talking to any teams about trading Williams -- but that they would listen to offers, as they would for any player.
