News has surfaced that Mike Williams was fined over $400,000 last year by the Detroit Lions for being late to meetings and overweight.

Because last year’s fines were imposed after taxes, Williams had to “earn” more than $600,000 to pay the fines. Williams made $230,000 in salary last year and is scheduled to make $350,000 in salary this season so, not counting the bonus money, Williams will be playing for free in his first two seasons.

BMW needs a renewed commitment to football if he even hopes to make the Lions roster at WR, although lining him up at TE might not be such a bad idea.
