NFL Makes Final Decision on Lions Star Being Punished

The Detroit Lions are dealing with a busy offseason. After having a stellar record of 15-2 going into the 2024 postseason, the team lost early in the playoffs to the Washington Commanders, which has left a sour taste in the mouths of pretty much anyone who loves the team.

As the NFL offseason really kicks into gear, one Lions player has been awaiting the final verdict on some punishment that he could be face for actions taken during the season. This particular player’s incident happened on his own time, not on the field, but the NFL has still been contemplating disciplinary action.

Lions Player’s Fate Revealed

The NFL has apparently made its final decision on punishing receiver Jameson Williams. According to NFL expert and analyst Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Williams won’t face any punishment from the NFL for being caught carrying an unlicensed gun last fall.

“Jameson Williams won’t face NFL discipline for carrying an unlicensed gun from the fall, but the Detroit Lions WR has a big offseason looming as he’s eligible for a contract extension – or at least having his 5th year option exercised,” Birkett stated in a February 19 post on X.

In the full feature about the matter, Birkett notes that “a league spokesperson told the Free Press on Wednesday the matter is ‘closed.’”

As for that incident, last October, Williams was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for speeding.

“Detroit Police found two guns in the car at the time of the stop,” Birkett explains. “One was registered to Williams’ brother, the driver, and the other to Williams.” However, he adds that, “Williams did not have a concealed pistol license to carry the weapon at the time but later obtained the permit.”
