Ben Volin: Patriots Trade For Lions OT Mike Williams

I thought this was a Bequette joke until I checked Twitter. What happened to Bequette, since he was 85?

Is Bequette even real?

Just a note, given the Williams' number thing and what it might mean about Bequette:

Boyce and Jimmy Jean were absent from practice today.

And cuts to 75 are in 6 days...wonder if he's getting a head start cutting the guys he knows won't make it.

Per WEEI, Jimmy Jean was waived.

Even if Williams doesn't make the cut, the chance that he does make it is a steal at this "price" IMO:

"In exchange, the Lions will receive a 2017 seventh-round draft pick, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press."
