Agreed. Pure panic move by the Cowboys. The Lions would fools to turn this down if it's true.If this offer is real it would be 'Millenesque' for Detroit to not accept it.
Who would take over the #2 WR spot if Williams gets traded?
Come on. Even with Millen gone, the Lions are still likely to play the fool. They want more then a 1st for a player they likely will let walk away next year -- only to get a possible 3rd or 4th rounder in 2010 as supplemental compensation. I know that Detroit can tag ROY, but given (1) the other needs on this team, (2) ROY's desire not to be there, and (3) and the presence of CJ as the #1 WR, I do not think that would be prudent. Detroit does not need to pay for two #1 WRs when they need so much more.Agreed. Pure panic move by the Cowboys.

They won't let him walk next year, they will franchise him and continue to field trade offers.Come on. Even with Millen gone, the Lions are still likely to play the fool.

Heck, even if Dallas offfers a 1st I think it favors Detroit. If Detroit can get Crayton and a 1st, they have done well. Maybe Dallas asks for a CB and ROY.
I realize that tagging the player is typically the smart move, but it ties up cap space. And, it is pretty transparent since most teams should realize that the Lions really do not want ROY to be on the team next year. Plus, I doubt that they would get a 1st rounder next year for ROY - since a team would have to pay Roy and give up the pick.If they tag him, I would sign the tender asap if I were ROY.They won't let him walk next year, they will franchise him and continue to field trade offers.Come on.

Thinking the same thing.After reading this thread.... I can see maybe a Roy / Bodden package in the works... what do you guys think? Bodden hasnt worked in DET and Roy is on his way out. I dunno..just randomly thinking of scenarios...
haha if you cant take the heat get out the kitchen!!!! haha jki love the trading deadline in any league... exciting timesThis kinda makes me sick.
Exactly - they need DB's. Now if Bodden is involved as Maven wondered, that would make much more sense.But they don't have cornerbacks and their QB just went down.How does this help exactly?
I think that rumor is atleast a week old.
Typical Lions. Why didn't they just ask Dallas to give them Ware and throw Romo and Barber aon top as well.
okI think that rumor is atleast a week old.
if roy is traded to dallas (and that's a BIG IF), 1 or more of the following will need to happen for TO to see more targets:increase in passing attempts (not likely)witten's targets decrease (not likely)roy sees less targets than crayton/austin (not likely)so to answer your question, no, it would not help TO... IMO, TO would see less targetsAny belief that ROY helps get more balls thrown in TO's direction?
But possibly more receptions. (Less double coverages)if roy is traded to dallas (and that's a BIG IF), 1 or more of the following will need to happen for TO to see more targets:increase in passing attempts (not likely)witten's targets decrease (not likely)roy sees less targets than crayton/austin (not likely)so to answer your question, no, it would not help TO...

If this is true, then the interim GM in Detroit will get the gig long term. Lions finally win one.just reported that it was a 1st + add'l picks...
