As expected, recently released cornerback Jack Williams was a hot commodity. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter‘s twitter (where else?), four teams put in waiver claims for Williams, with the Detroit Lions winning his services.

Four teams put in waiver claims for former Broncos CB Jack Williams — Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis and Philadelphia. Detroit got him.

Congrats to the Lions, and to Jack. Hopefully he keeps his head up in Detroit.

Meanwhile, Williams’ replacement, Ty Law, makes his Broncos debut in a few hours on Monday Night Football. I didn’t think Jack was playing poorly at all, and questioned the move — Williams may be small, but in my opinion, Law has some big shoes to fill.
