Cowboys quickly give Williams new deal

By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports 30 minutes ago

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – After acquiring WR Roy Williams from the Lions for three NFL draft picks, the Dallas Cowboys signed him through the 2013 season, owner Jerry Jones confirmed from the owners meetings.
“This year plus an additional five,” Jones said of the contract extension for Williams, acquired for a first-, third- and sixth-round pick in 2009.
Financial terms of Williams’ contract were undisclosed. In addition, the Cowboys will receive Detroit’s seventh-round pick next year.
For Jones, it was welcome news after a brutal past week in which cornerback Adam Jones has been suspended indefinitely for his role in an off-field fight last week, and quarterback Tony Romo, receiver Sam Hurd, corner Terence Newman, running back Felix Jones, punter Mat McBriar and outside linebacker Anthony Spencer have suffered injuries or had surgery.

“This is good news, finally,” said Jerry Jones, whose team will also receive a fifth-round draft pick from the Titans as a result of Adam Jones’ suspension. “This gives us another threat on the other side of Terrell (Owens). That’s something that (offensive coordinator) Jason Garrett and I talked about during the offseason, getting another big-time threat on the other side to go with (Owens) and (tight end) Jason Witten.”
During his first four years with Detroit, Williams averaged 61 receptions a season. The seventh overall pick in the ‘04 draft out of Texas, Williams was second on the team this year with 17 receptions.
Jerry Jones made no secret that he has been pursuing Williams for a long time.
“We’ve been talking to the Lions for two years about Roy, who is very familiar to us being from Texas,” Jones said. “I talked to them again just before the draft and at the most recent owners meetings and we finally were able to get something done.”
As for concerns about how Williams will coexist with the emotional Owens, Jones smiled.
“I called Terrell and he was ecstatic,” Jones revealed. “He was the first person I called after I talked to Roy. As soon as Terrell heard he said, ‘Give me Roy’s number, I have to call him,’ .”

Well hopefully if he does get 2 more balls thrown to him, teams will stop doubleteaming T.O. and then he can explode on the field.

Nobody respected Crayton as a #2 WR.

Was Crayton really that bad?

He was awful as a #2 guy. For every pass he caught, he would drop about 2 or 3. He was more of a #3 WR. I actually Liked Austin more than Crayton and thought he might eventually be the #2 but he got hurt and it slowed him down. Their's a report on the Zone that Detroit originally wanted Austin in the deal but Jerry wouldn't trade him and instead gave them a #1 instead.

In other news.

Cowboys placed P Matt McBriar on injured reserve ending his season.

With a slew of injuries in the past few weeks, the Cowboys couldn't afford to hold a roster spot for their pro bowl punter. Sam Paulescu was signed to take McBriar's place.

So the Cowboys have two Roy Williams on the team now, right?

Yep. lol The other one's been out with an injury all season though.

Mr. Television · 10-14-2008, 07:45 PM

I like how all the tv experts say its a bad deal. The Cowboys basically just gave up a #1 for him because we have more than one #3. They all thought it was a great deal if Philly got him but not the Cowboys. lol

Big C · 10-14-2008, 08:02 PM

Roy Williams was a great player in a bad environment- a change of scenery is what he'll need.

mriggles · 10-14-2008, 09:16 PM

i think its a great move for the boys... But its not the offense that needed attention

Wreckless · 10-14-2008, 09:25 PM

Was Detroit giving him up, and teams were fighting for him or did Jerry just get him? Cause Sonny said Philly like we had a chance to get him lol. It's odd to see such a trade to get this guy in the middle of the season. T.O. will explode! Man I can't wait.
