Roy Williams traded to the Boys

CaneDawg · 10-14-08, 03:16 PM

whose gonna throw to him

FadeThePublic · 10-14-08, 03:17 PM

Great move by the lions!

Roy was in the final year of his contract and there was no way he'd ever re-sign with the lions.

Two 2nd round picks will be huge for the lions

Great deal for dallas too

Roy williams is a beast although he does drop to many balls

FadeThePublic · 10-14-08, 03:26 PM

Now I'm hearing the boys have to give up a 1st, 3rd, and 6th round picks.

Even better deal for the lions

daggerkobe · 10-14-08, 03:36 PM

Awful deal for the Boys.

Roy Williams can't keep his mouth shut.... like another pouty malcontent.

Bluehorseshoe · 10-14-08, 03:39 PM

That's horrible for Dallas.

You'd think Jerry would have learned to not trade for WR's by now after Galloway did nothing for them.

MJFtheGenius · 10-14-08, 03:39 PM

why not trade these picks for a head coach????

EaglesPhan36 · 10-14-08, 03:49 PM

It's a good trade for the future if they re-sign Roy Williams. I hate Dallas with a passion, so I hope he bolts and they continue to flounder around like the ass clowns they are this year.

element1286 · 10-14-08, 03:56 PM

This doesn't make them that much better as a team.

I agree Wade Phillips is useless. He could get out coached by Corky from "The Wonder Years".

Throw into the mix that one of your coaches is Dave Campo and you know you're in trouble.

FadeThePublic · 10-14-08, 04:00 PM

It makes the lions better next year.

There gonna have the #1 pick in the draft

And With Matt Millen gone no worries about drafting bullsh-t wide receivers

slacker00 · 10-14-08, 04:02 PM

I wonder how happy Bill Parcells is right now that he isn't in the middle of this mess? Add another head case to a team of malcontents.

Good for the Lions, though. Although now they've got 0-16 staring them in the face with Kitna on IR and their #1 WR gone. At least with Kitna & Roy they had some offensive firepower. Now what? I still say it's good for the Lions as a franchise.

fiveteamer · 10-14-08, 04:03 PM

Already the Lions look better.

FadeThePublic · 10-14-08, 04:05 PM

This trade never would of happened if Matt Millen was around cause he's a fukin idiot.

BestPlay2day · 10-14-08, 04:06 PM

Great deal for the Lions, Roy Williams wasn't coming back to Detriot. Surprised they got that much for him.

SBR Lou · 10-14-08, 04:23 PM

Wow... pretty cool for Cowboys fans

Deuce · 10-14-08, 04:26 PM

I have his jersey though. Fukk.

Roy Williams has just been traded to the Dallas Cowboys for 2 2nd round draft picks. Wow......If T O gets on board and doesnt pout, this just made the Boys even scarier on offense.

The Cowboys will give up a first-round pick in 2009, plus a third- and sixth-rounder that year for Williams and a seventh-round pick in '09.

A lot more than 2 2nd rounders.

When the reporter on ESPN broke the trade he said they gave up 2 2nd rounders, i was just repeating what i heard. I think the Lions got a great deal, they are in rebuilding mode, and extra draft picks are the key. When Roy Williams is on, he is a beast, he will definately help the Boys offense. He is major upgrade over Patrick Crayton and Auston Miles.

Redchevy · 10-14-08, 04:44 PM

Looks like Jones is scared shit that if he doesn't win it this year with Brady on crutches, he may never win it!

TodaysAction · 10-14-08, 04:45 PM

This could be something really good for the Lions, IF THEY DON'T SCREW IT UP!

xyzky · 10-14-08, 05:25 PM

That's a great deal for the Lions!! Looks like they could be good in a few years if they use the same approach that KC is using!

treece · 10-14-08, 05:47 PM

Cowboys now have 2 Roy Williams', a few Jones' and a pissed TO. This could get interesting.

Not to mention an injured Romo...Dallas isn't lacking theater, that's for sure.

daggerkobe · 10-14-08, 06:12 PM

Such a horrible trade.

Why do they need another receiver when they got Owens and Witten already fighting over the ball? And to give up a 1st RD pick?

They need DEFENSIVE help which that 1st RD pick would've helped in getting.

supershark · 10-14-08, 06:33 PM

what is going on I thought Dallas would be the last team looking for Roy Williams... whats next an offer for Gonzo?

Bluehorseshoe · 10-14-08, 07:23 PM

Didn't the Patriots get Moss for a fourth round pick?

ZBOIZ · 10-14-08, 07:27 PM

The Cowboys dont know what they want

Skidcom · 10-14-08, 07:36 PM

I am a very happy Lions fan. Always liked Williams but he was starting to pout and was becoming increasingly ineffective. Never thought the Millen firing would be paying dividends so quickly..helluva trade! Ironically,Williams was probably Millen's best pick. Maybe Sims we'll see. Putting Kitna on IR (for back spasms? come on) was a clear sign they are going for the youth movement. Extra draft picks will also be a great enticement to a future GM. Should lure a good one. That said, who wouldn't want the Lions GM job? Unbelievable pay and the greatest job security in sports

daggerkobe · 10-14-08, 07:40 PM

Cowboys desperately need secondary help with Pacman, Terence Newman and Roy Williams out.

I don't think they're too worried about that. The Pats have more problems than Tom being out such as an ancient defense and the blueprint to beat them which teams were using at the end of last year.

I guess my whole take on the deal is that when Brady's lighting up the scoreboard, the ancient defense is resting. What many fail to understand is that Brady makes the defenses' job even easier when teams are down 20/30 points making the opposition one dimensional and easier to defend. Truth be known, the Patriots best defensive player is actually Brady. Think about that for a minute.

Always Somethin' · 10-14-08, 10:15 PM

Yah because the Cowboys needing another WR is keeping them from winning games lately.

Bluehorseshoe · 10-14-08, 10:41 PM

I hope he can punt.....

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Dallas Cowboys punter Mat McBriar was put on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season two days after sustaining a broken foot on the last play of the overtime loss at Arizona.

McBriar's foot was broken Sunday when his punt was blocked by the Cardinals and recovered for the winning touchdown.

The Cowboys signed Sam Paulescu, who was in training camp with Dallas in 2007, and in Denver's camp this year. Paulescu, undrafted out of Oregon State, has punted in only one NFL game, averaging 44.2 yards on five kicks in the Broncos' 2007 season finale.

McBriar won't need surgery, but will need up to two months to recover, too long to keep him inactive on the roster. After his foot was hit by an unblocked rusher, McBriar had to be carted off the field.

McBriar, in his fifth season, was a Pro Bowler in 2006, when he had a 48.2-yard average. This season, he punted 17 times for a 49.4 average, third in the NFC and sixth in the NFL.

rm18 · 10-14-08, 10:44 PM

i think this was a bad decision, he is maybe the best punter in football
