Breaking News Roy Williams Traded to Dallas

[Big C]

nfl live just said 1st, 3rd and 6th i believe, mighty high price to pay for a player who would have been a free agent after the season, detroit with a steal there because williams wasnt staying there next year. could work out well for dallas though

Williams wanted out of Detroit during preseason, so he got what he wanted and landed in Dallas. Team Chemistry is going to be messed up with Dallas. Roy is Mr Texas so TO better learn to live with fewer balls to catch. Detroit needed this to hopefully start a true rebuilding effort to make the team competitve finally. It also probably means Marinelli is toast after this season. Roy was great for Detroit, but with Kitna out for the year his efforts would have been wasted as the Lions don't have much of a running game to compliment the pass oriented attack. Orlovsky can't cut the mustard in the primary QB role. There is a good bet without Kitna and Williams that the Lions are going 0-16. Even with those guys they might have been able to squeeze out 2-3 wins, so the Detroit FO made the deal once Kitna was placed on IR. What this means for us is that we better have an excellent pass rush come rematch time or we just might be toast.

Yeah I am sorry but a 1st, 3rd, and 6th is way to high. I belive that this will hurt Dallas alot more than us. TO and Williams won't be able to get along, and Brad Johnson is throwing them the ball. Good luck with that. This team is still ready to implode in Big D.

WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY COWBOY THREADS ON OUR BOARD!!!


They dont deserve our time. We have a good cohesive unit here in DC and no need to designate to much time to a team of individuALS.

Well they are in our division and how long can we talk about dumping Brooks & Torrence.

good point, but we hear about the cowboys all day in the national media. Sirius NFL and ESPN. I just get sick of hearing about the damn cowboys.

I thought that a 1st, 3rd and a 6th was too much too until I thought a little more about it.

In 2009 the Cowboys have two third round picks and two 6th round picks from deals done during the last draft.

So they surrendered a first rounder for Williams. And to justify that you just have to ask what WR would be available and worthy of a first round pick in the 2009 draft?

Essentially, Dallas used thier first round pick on a WR. They just did it in October instead of April is all.

I know, three picks is a lot, but I am just trying to put it in perspective is all.

Would you say that experience was similar to the game for her?

A lot of hype and build-up for a GIGANTIC let down?

These are the same rationalizations we make when we trade away 1st rounders. Everyone thinks we're idiots when we make them too.

They paid a premium no doubt. This reeks of desperation.

The flaw in your logic is that his not signed beyond this year and will want a $$ BIG PAY DAY $$. Or else he will 1) hold out, 2) sign somewhere else or 3) have to be franchised for big $$. I firmly believe a team can't afford to pay for two TOP END WR's. Ask Arizona how that's going...

If I recall correctly , I don't think he had much of a game against us and our corners covered him well.. But we will have to see..
