This became negligible after he tore ligaments in his knee and was unable to play for the entire season. The Dolphins cut him at the end of the year, then proceeded to sign him for the veterans' minimum for 2005. He played in 5 games that year before tearing knee ligaments again, and in 2006 he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was released on September 12th, 2007 after being arrested for DUI.

Wow! I wasn't trying to insinuate that we should pick up DB but that sure is a novel idea. They guy is an absolute head case (I was in SD when he was with the Chargers) but he had all of the tools. In SD, the reporters used to talk about how he was in the gym so much that he had been pushing 245 lbs at 6'2" and couldn't get full extension of his arms!

Why would we trade a high pick for any player when we have FREE agency ?? Hall gets burned every time I see a falcons game , didn't T.O . burn him BAD this past year ? I just hope we draft a DE and a C/G , maybe we can make 3rd and shorts look easy , and get some heat on the QB . I could see an 09 for Williams , but screw Hall / Briggs , just wasting $$$

Springs got burned bad by Owens this year, too. do you want to cut him?

hey Dmek , no I do not want to cut Springs .Springs is not a young man and he had to deal with his father this year . I would rather use F/A to bring in the best cb that we can sign , use # 21 on a DE . If it just happens that in rd 2 or 3 a cb with strong cover skills is sitting there , pick him . The Hall for 21 with the team having depth issues on both lines seems too much at this time . I have seen him talk a lot and it seems he gets burned too much in there big games ? If we do bring him here , I hope like hell he is our best cb.

IMO I could see where a deal for Williams would be considered an option since we have identified a [bigger WR] as a target of need.

However, could it be that DJ Hackett would be a better option, maybe less costly, and more famaliar with what the offense will be doing? [considering his availability] Granted Williams would seem attractive, it could be that our needs would be better served by using our top two picks to address our long neglected needs on the DL.

It's not like our WR corps is in shambles, the need for a 3tech. DT along with a DE with dual ability would be more important acquisitions. When/if either of these type players are available, every effort should be made to secure them mainly because of how difficult they are to procure.

yea, i definately agree with your post. i'd rather the skins get hackett, at a reasonable price, and use the 2nd pick on a dl,ol or cb.

Williams will help JC develop, Hall will not...

Normally, I don't like the fact we tend to get rid of our picks for stuff like this.. but Roy Williams... damn! that's what we need.. a big receiver..!

This article also claims Jevon Walker (den) and Larry Fitzgerald are being shopped...however, I saw recently that the Skins are interested in a Walker trade but Fitz aint going anywhere. I'd prefer LF over anyone.
I just dont know how much merit we should give these stories.

To get a player the caliber of Roy Williams for a 2nd rounder is a steal and should be done in a heartbeat! We could only hope to get a decent WR that would develope into a Roy Williams type with a 1st round pick, so to get him already established for a 2nd rounder is a no brainer.
I'd love to see us get Campbell (DE) in the draft, and have Roy Williams for our 2nd round pick. That would be quite a productive draft!

I'm all for keeping our picks...but I'd do that for a second rounder in a heartbeat if we had the chance.

Me too. I'd rather give up a 2nd rounder NEXT year and Brandon Lloyd for RW.

AS for Hall, I think we need to make a move for him somehow. I first rounder at any point is out of the question. Maybe for s 2nd round pick this year, and a later round pick next year, but as of now we need all of our picks.

I caught this from a quote on dmek25's post (since schneed is the only person I have ever put on my ignore list, I will only see quotes of his posts.)

He'll be 27 when the 2008 season starts.

Don't mean to be nit-picky, just want to set the record straight. He'll be 26 most of this season, and won't turn 27 until close to the end of the season, in particular, December 20th.
For once I agree with Schneed though, Roy Williams is a stud.

Schneed's a stud, huh? It's good to see you guys reconcile.

On topic, yes, Roy Williams for a 2nd rounder would be a good trade.
