Roy Williams offically traded to Dallas (1 Viewer)

"Win at all costs" doesn't look so good without the winning huh.

TO/Witten Owners =

fixed.

as a to/witten owner, i'd be more about the fact that Brad "Dink and Dunk" Johnson is now your QB for the next 4 games

fixed.

As much attention as TO has been getting from opposing secondaries, this may be a good move for Owens. Cardinals pretty much ignored all receivers other than TO on Sunday.

Who is the pickup in Detroit?

WR: Calvin Johnson (inj), Roy Williams, Shaun McDonald (PR), Mike Furrey, Brandon Middleton (KR), Reggie Ball (IR)MIke Furrey or Shaun McDonald?

Bingo.

 

[EBF]

Roy is a chronic underachiever, but I still think Dallas made out okay. They got another viable starting WR and a potential heir to TO's throne whenever he breaks down.

This was also a good move by the Lions. Roy wasn't going to be a difference maker for them and they need all the ammunition they can get for their rebuilding project.

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

I own T.O. and Calvin and i'm much more worried about the impact on Megatron than T.O. T.O. should be released and set free now, but Calvin will face massive coverage.

Excellent chance the Lions go winless.

I like this logic. TO already has chemistry established his QB, I don't see him losing Romo's eye once he comes back. He'll still be a top 5 FF WR.

Pat Crayton sucks anyway

who in detroit isn't a chronic under achiever

A STEAL for the lions and the boys overpay for a player they didnt need.

 

[menobrown]

Crayton Owners =

No doubt. I've been leery of his sorry inconsistent production but I needed him this week with a few guys on bye and a good matchup. Unless they traded him to the Lions he's worthless.

Roy was pretty much non existent in Detroit. I can see this being the case (ala Housh and CJ last year) but Roy has been pretty much a non factor.

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

i dont think this is the greatest news for Crayton and TO owners.

I would bump ROMO when he gets back though, and i think Witten value holds tight.

That's a lot. Nice compensation for the Lions.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

This trade is so lopsided for the Lions, if it was a fantasy trade there would be threads questioning if it's collusion.

A 1st AND extra picks? For the second-best receiver on your team while you're rebuilding? Congrats, Detroit. You finally won something this year.

Shaun McDonald benefits...

Kinda what I was thinking....okay. Where does this point his value? He a 8 for 70 yards kinda guy or more of a 3 for 70yds kinda guy?

 

[Michael Brown]

Who is the pickup in Detroit?

WR: Calvin Johnson (inj), Roy Williams, Shaun McDonald (PR), Mike Furrey, Brandon Middleton (KR), Reggie Ball (IR)MIke Furrey or Shaun McDonald?

I remembered reading earlier this season that McDonald was the de facto WR3 on the team but that if either starter went down with injury it'd be Furrey that would stand to gain the most as they'd prefer to keep McDonald in that WR3/slot position. I'll see if I can find it.

Considering they have been rying to get this guy sense April this is not a move of desperation. That would have been if they tried to get a QB. This is a good day for Dallas lose Pacamn who they really do not need and get the wr they need very bad. Lets see that triple on Owens now mother f'er

 

[Kiddnets]

Smart move by the Lions....haven't said that in about a decade! Good thing Millen is gone!

 

[TobiasFunke]

Shefter just stated it was a 1st 3rd and 6th

If this is correct, Jerry Jones is well on his way to becoming the George Steinbrenner of the NFL. Considering that the "mortgage the future to acquire marquee superstars" model didn't work in MLB, I can't imagine this will end well for the Cowboys in a league with a salary cap.If you want to trade a 1, 3 and 6, why not get a quality corner to replace the giant void left by Pac-Man and Terence Newman?

 

[QUEZILLA]

Roy was complaining about not getting enough targets. Didn't he say he wanted like 10 balls his way, and would have gotten that with Martz?

 

[riverrat]

I've got CJ from Detroit, and am dreading the increased coverage he'll face.

 

[MSULions]

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, according to a source. The deal took place moments before the 3 p.m. trade deadline.

He was still a prescence though, and a guy who could do SOMETHING.

Detroit: "Matt Millen isn't here anymore"

Jerry Jones: "oof"

ESPN SAID TWO #2 THIS YEAR AND NEXT tHEY JUST GOT A 5TH AND 6TH FROM tENN BECAUSE OF THE pACMAN SUSPENSION YES.Just have to hal on for the next 3 weeks and get Newman and Romo back then it is on

 

[Ripleys]

this is similar to the Skins trading Champ to Denver. He wasn't going to resign, so the Skins got what they could for him. Lions are doing the same thing here, and getting some great picks for Roy. Great for Megatron IMO...

ouchTJ Housh is going to be the highest paid WR ever, as he will be the only WR available in FA this year.

 

[Kevin Ashcraft]

Schefter's blog says it is for the 1,3 and 6.

ESPN says the deal is not even done yet lol

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3643295

The Dallas Cowboys are close to a deal to acquire wide receiver Roy Williams from the Detroit Lions, a source told ESPN.com Tuesday. The trade would involve multiple draft picks but would not involve the Cowboys' first-round pick.

The Cowboys are also trying to negotitate a long-term deal with Williams before completing the deal. Williams has expressed unhappiness playing for the winless Lions and can become a free agent after the season unless the team places the franchise tag on him.

 

[T Bell]

NFL Network reporting a 1st, 3rd and a 6th round pick.

That's a lot. Nice compensation for the Lions.

Assuming the Cowboys finished as the lowest ranked playoff team and picked 24th, they gave up the equivalent of ~1.18 according to the NFL pick value chart. If they finish better than that, the value is lower, and worse-higher.

 

[MSULions]

3 picks for a guy who was gone after next year anyway and drops 5 balls a game? This is what Detroit without Millen is going to be like? I must be dreaming!

 

[blackjack23]

two #2s is a good deal

#1 #3 and #6 is overpaying unless you're moving someone else's picks
