Breaking News Roy Williams Traded to Dallas

[jamf]

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.

While it doesn't solve their secondary problems, they're hoping he re-signs for long-term. He is definitely a capable replacement for a No. 1 WR once TO falls off.

I'm not sure why Dallas made this move. Roy Williams is so freakin overrated. Their other wr's seems to be fine. Romo is always throwing for 300 yards a game. They need help at corner.

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

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..

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.

From a Cowboys hating perspective I don't mind this move. While Williams is a solid second-tier receiver - who has occasionally shown flashes of greatness - they paid a prohibitive price to acquire him. For all the talk of Williams being a "long-term replacement" this is a move that screams desperation, and win now at any cost. Also, you are adding another proven ego to a team chock full of them, when what you really need is more hungry role-players. So in getting a solid receiving threat, they give up the chance to add valuable depth to their paper thin defense. They also alienate guys like Miles Austin who have been pretty solid. I haven’t seen every Cowboys game but I’ve seen most of them, and it hasn’t seemed to me like the receivers have been the problem so far.

well if they lose one Roy Williams they have another to take his place. One is just as useless as the next

I guess Dallas plan to out score everyone they need defensive help.

It will be very interesting to see how T.O. responds to this. Williams is a good receiver but this will probably cause more anguish for T.O. It looks like a move to take away from the bad press they've been getting. It should actually be a good move for T.O. if he would look at it unselfishly. Williams could open things up but somehow they'll screw it up.

[CRedskinsRule]

I heard Creighton on Sirius say that he didn't understand this move, then he back tracked. But if he is saying this on a public forum, just think what TO is thinking (u don't love me anymore...)

[Hog1]

1st, 3rd, and 6th??? For.....Roy???? That's a move that spells desperation.
JJ, line one is for you, It's Adam Archuleta. He's got sweet deal for you! I think T.O. will have to re=think his Christmas card list after this...........betrayal.

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