2008 Year End Review: Detroit Lions
After the Lions started the 2008 NFL season with a record of 0-3, the team’s president, Matt Millen was fired. This was a move that was a long time coming in the eyes of many Lions fans around the state, but it was only the beginning of the renovation of the Detroit Lions. It was announced just a few weeks later that the Lions traded highly unpopular wide receiver Roy Williams to the Dallas Cowboys, in exchange for the Cowboy’s first, third, and sixth picks in the 2009 NFL draft. And then, just a few weeks after the trade was completed and announced, Daunte Culpepper was signed to come in and lead the team at quarterback. Things might finally be shaping up for a good season next year for the Detroit Lions - as hard as that may be to believe.
