Roy Williams traded to Dallas

Looks like the Cowboys received Roy Williams for a 2nd Round pick. Roy is a pretty damn good football player and may be able to jumpstart his career being back at home in Texas.

Say what you want about Jerry, but he gets deals done.

This is a good value deal for the Cowboys. Let's see if it turns into wins.
 
Good move for both teams imo. Dallas gets a proven WR, & the Lions get 2 2nd round picks for a guy who didn't want to play for them.
 
OK, big change in my thoughts now.

Sheffter is saying a 1st Round, a 3rd, and a 5th.

Can you say BAD!!!!! deal. Wow, Jerry is desparate.

Roy was worth a 2nd Rounder and maybe it turns into a 1st if they go to the Super Bowl, but to give up that much is just ridiculous.

WOW!! Jerry may have lost his sanity.

? I heard it was 2 2nd rounders?
 
Good pickup by the Cowboys, but it looks like a desperation move. They are already pretty deep at the receiver position. They should have sent Crayton over with a second round pick.
 
ROFL. I feel bad for Brad Johnson now. He's gonna get an earful from two egomaniacs to throw them the ball. Time to get the popcorn ready for the implosion of America's Team. Seriously, if this team doesn't make the playoffs, it will be a disaster of epic proportions.

Team meltdown in 10...9...8...7... :popcorn:
 
3 picks is too much. But we'll see if it pans out, it will be very hard to cover Witten, Owens, and Williams. But that is a steep price when they had decent depth at receiver.

What do you mean huh? I said send Crayton over with a second round pick would have been better. Maybe Crayton in a third. What will Dallas do with all of those receivers? You already have Owens and Witten.

haha... they now have TO, Williams, Crayton, Witten & Austin. How are they going to get all of them the ball?
 
I like getting Williams but I think a 1st and 3rd and a late pick is alot. They have multiple 3rds though and collected picks over the years. I'd rather have gone after CB but this gives Johnson more targets.

1 and 3...that's a bit much. Jerrah is definitely in to win it this year.
 
I totally forgot about Crayton. The guy probably has a bigger mouth than T.O. but doesn't get the attention. I wonder what he thinks about being replaced. LOL.

I also like the idea of getting Williams, but the picks do sound a bit steep. Hopefully Jerry has some other ideas about the CB given our DSMIV case will soon be attending to more pressing issues.
 
Here's what the Dallas Morning News says:

The Cowboys on Tuesday acquired UT-ex Roy Williams from Detroit for first-, third- and sixth-round picks in 2009 while the Lions will kick back their seventh-rounder in 2009. The deal took place moments before the 3 p.m. trade deadline.

Good luck with that. Eek.

Buddy tells me that Kitna has been put on IR.
 
This is a great move for the Cowboys......let's face it, their team is stacked so 1st (late 1st), 3rd, and 5th round draft picks are going to have a tough time breaking through in their lineup.

This tells me more about what the team thinks about T.O. (who is starting to flap his gums again) then anything else.......Roy is his replacement (a great replacement at that) and T.O.'s days are numbered in Dallas.

Well, TO is old. And even selfishly, this really should be good for TO because it should get him more open if teams have to respect Williams on the field. I'm not sure if he sees it that way though.
 
It is a steep price but my guess is that the Cowboys have some cap room next year to spare and they can fill in any holes via the FA route rather than draft...that is pure speculation...

TO isn't getting open now anyway. This should help that situation.

That is what I don't get as a Cowboy fan. TO got his extension, he has his cash. This helps the team and should open it up for him. We will see how it goes. As you said, TO is aging and this is more of a replacement move for next year and a splash move this year. They have extra 3rds in the draft and will get a 5th back from Tenn on PacMan so they still have picks they gained over the years.
 
Wow, now it's a 1st and 3rd w/ some change? Better deal for the Lions than the two 2nds. Seems kind of high on the Dallas side to me. I would have figured a 1st rounder and maybe a late pick would have done it, good job on Detroit for negotiating so well. The good news for Dallas is their WR and RB positions are STACKED w/ talent.
 
Well Tony Romo is my fantasy football QB (the guy needs to tough it out.....a broken pinky, are you kidding me. Farve played with a broke thumb) and there isn't any legit QBs available so should I pick up Brad Johnson....I'm thinking about it.

Mario Williams will lock him down.....especially if DeMeco is helping over the top.

DE drop into coverage during zone blitzes all of the time. They are usually on backs or TEs with LB help though.

When you only have one legit pass rusher on your team........do you really want to pull him off the line on a blitz.........I don't think so, your just shooting yourself in the ass.

Totally agreed. If Jerry gave up that much for an under achieving guy who is known for being soft and lacking a strong work ethic than he made one stupid deal. Roy will help them, but he is overrated at this point of his career. I don't think he is that much better than Crayton at the moment really. Plus Miles Austin has been making some plays for them as well.

He will probably miss all of that attention from double coverage.

remember, we're talking about a guy whose relationship with his qb in philly deteriorated b/c he misconstrued a pre-superbowl comment. There's no telling how he might take this.

Not necessarily...

If the opposing team calls a play that calls for help with Mario (a double team or a chip block) that gives other D-linemen/blitzers a better chance at getting to the QB and it freezes those linemen/backs who had intentions on blocking Mario.....

You guys are funny.

You want Smith to call plays like he doesn't expect anything out of his other D-linemen? If that isn't a losers strategy I don't know what is...


Maybe he should just start letting Mario draw up plays in the dirt before the offense snaps the ball...I'm pretty sure some of you would actually like that.
