I'm sure he's ticked and I don't think his feelings will remain a secret at all.

Right. If there is one thing certain in this world, it's that T.O.'s feeling will NOT be kept secret!

This sucks. I don't understand how they have the cap space. Also how will they afford him next year? Can T.O. survive with another big time reciever? We will find out in due time. I think dallas is desperate right now and they sense their season going down the crapper. I bet Jerry Jones can't stand that we are better than them.

That's just it! I don't think they will be able to afford him next year under their cap. So if they choose to keep him around next season......that means someones about to take a pay cut! LOL

For all those out there that are scared and worried about this, ask yourself... WWBD?

What Will Blache Do?

Why are you more scared then he is? Do you think Carlos is cowering in the corner over this? Is Landry hiding under the bed?

Roy Williams. Big deal. If this is that big of a game changer, then we are in real trouble.

Everyone chill out and let Greg and his men do their job.

We'll play Redskin Defense... allow 17 pts... win by 3.

What more can you ask for?

[DIRTEE]

No worries from the Redskins.

The Cowboys are so stupid. This isn't going to help them. Their talent wasn't the problem. Their leadership is terrible and that all starts with their coach. Wade Philips is not a good coach. He is not going to be able to turn this team around when things start going badly.

Jerry Jones is just trying to buy a Super Bowl and its not going to work... at least not this year anyway.

Let the confusion begin:

The Dallas Cowboys added another big name to their star-studded roster on Tuesday, acquiring wide receiver Roy Williams from the Detroit Lions for a trio of draft picks.

In exchange for Williams, a 2006 Pro Bowler who has 29 touchdown receptions in 60 career games, the Lions received Dallas' first-, third- and sixth-round selections in the 2009 draft.

Its a great move for dallas. I think they will get rid of TO next year. Without TO, they have the worst WR corp in football.

I agree. This isn't really a great 2008 season move but it's pretty nice once TO retires.

Too bad Roy Williams was going to be a free agent after this season and they could have just signed him then

According to Jason Cole they signed him through 2013 as part of the trade. He's only 26. Get used to Williams being part of the Cowpuffs for years.

I think this is a good move for them. The real weakness of their offense was their #2-#5 WR's, none of whom could draw coverage from TO.

This is also bad for them. Despite the fact that they had previously stockpiled draft picks and so will still have a draft, they gave up half of a normal draft for just this one guy. And they have a bunch of needs on the defensive side of the ball. This move makes them look more like the Fouts Chargers - all offense and no defense - which can get you to the playoffs but won't win the big dance, where defense is required. And down the road they will face salary cap troubles.

He won't be up to speed in their offense until Thanksgiving or so.

So the Cowboys now have all these receivers, so what!! Detroit had Williams, the other Williams, Calvin Johnson and Furrey, running Martz's offense and we shut them down last year. The way to counter this move is to draft us another young CB next year or sign Asomougha.
