absolutely! He may be a rental and Detroits' NEW GM...who ever that is....made a VERY shrewed move....3 picks! Almost like a Herschel Walker lite type move....
Anybody believe that Matt Millen could have pulled off this heist?
IF he did, GREAT for Dallas....but unless he makes the Pro Bowl ATLEAST 3 of those 5 years...they STILL paid too much for him.

I think Roy Williams signed a five year extension in Dallas sorry no links just what ESPNEWS was reporting yesterday
Not a rental, Dallas signed him to a fat 5 yr. extension. Detroit actually got more for Williams now then what Dallas offered last spring. The interim GM's name is Mayhew, he was Millen's whipping boy. But if this guy has got anymore moves like this, he's got my vote for the job. Now let's see how they screw up the draft picks they got out of this....I have additional comments in the NFL thread.
LIONS IN THE SUPER BOWL IN (fill in your guess here)!!!
So how many of you's are crying for the Cowboys today? Nice to see the Lions come out ahead for a change.
Paul.....there are a few teams you will NEVER, EVER see me cry for....the Cowboys are DEFINATELY one of those teams that I will NOT get any tear from me.
....BUT, I still think they gave up too much for a guy that after ALL the hype out of college 4 or 5 years ago, he has only ONE season with more than 850 yards and only ONE season that he has played atleast 16 games. Now don't get me wrong, he a good player....but to give 3 draft picks....INCLUDING a #1...he better be in the Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, T.O. or Randy Moss.
..and those guys he ain't....
I understand you statement Salsa, but, you have to consider who he's had throwing the ball to him and the O line (or lack there of) that has protected the QB to give him time to throw the ball.

Personally, I think both sides got a good deal out of this trade. Williams is a 1st round talent, who already bypassed the growing pains of a typical WR's first few years in the NFL. Plus, the Cowboys had two 3rd round picks this year, so they still had another pick in that round to fall back on.
Think about it. WR's don't usually come into the league and contribute right away as a rookie. Roy Williams is a proven play maker and is only 26 years old. Terrell Owens is 34. Jerry Jones wants to ensure that his team is exciting and competitive now and in the near future when they move into their new state-of-the-art stadium.
With that said, there is absolutely no reason why this offense can't overcome their playoff woes now. If all these offensive weapons stay healthy, there should be no excuse. On paper anyways, this has to be one of the scariest offenses EVER assembled!....
QB: Tony Romo - hurt
RB: Marion Barber
RB: Felix Jones - hurt
WR: Terrell Owens - getting old
WR: Roy Williams - good pick up
TE: Jason Witten
The ORIGINAL Roy Williams (Safety) has a broken arm (again) and is out for the season.Isn't Williams out for the season now?
Wow, Jones REALLY angered he football gods by buying NFC Championship tix for his players a week early last year..... (Which helped prompt my Giants to beat them at home)
