According to the NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are expected to acquire wide receiver Mike Williams from the Detroit Lions for an undisclosed draft choice.
Williams, the Lions first pick in 2005, has been a disappointment since being taken 10th overall that season. He had just eight catches last season.
The move reunites Williams with his former Southern California offensive coordinator Norm Chow.
Ironically, Williams was a player the Titans strongly considered taking with the No. 6 pick in that draft, when they drafted Adam Pacman Jones, who is now suspended for the entire season.
The Titans are still believed to be in the running to acquire San Diego Chargers running back Michael Turner, though Tennessee apparently has declined to offer a first-round pick, which Chargers general manager A.J. Smith has demanded in any deal for the running back.
