NFL: Lions WR Roy Williams traded to Cowboys

[ISUFan22]

Compensation unknown, but the deal is done.

EDIT....

Compensation is 1st, 3rd and 6th round picks.

Lions are a joke. Which wide receiver will they draft with their No.1 draft pick next year? Hope Roy has a better career as a Cowboy than he did as a Lion.

Compensation is 2nd round 2009 and 2nd round 2010 picks.

Lions are the joke of the NFL...Can't believe they traded him...Can't hurt I guess?

 

[Aclone]

Good thing they've got Brad Johnson to throw to him.

Lions are stupid.

 

[ISUFan22]

Check that...

1st, 3rd and 6th round picks.

Sheesh.

Check that...

1st, 3rd and 6th round picks.

Sheesh.

and THAT is a great deal for the Lions...

Bad move by the Cowboys. What impact is he supposed to have? And to give up that many picks? Not smart IMO.

Check that...

1st, 3rd and 6th round picks.

Sheesh.

So they get to draft another wide receiver, AND have picks left over. :wink:

He already called for a press conference in his driveway.

I think Dallas gave up a bit more than necessary. Dallas does get the Titan's 5th round pick next year via the Pacman deal.

I'm not sure how this works with TO & Roy on the same team ...

They both kinda take up a large chunk of the field ... not sure how they will co-exist.

 

[clones_jer]

you gotta link 22?

 

[ISUFan22]

No...saw it on NFL Network. Also was just showed in the ESPN bottom line.

I have Williams on one of my fantasy team. This should increase his value I would think.

 

[kcclones]

with Pacman being suspended today does that change what pick the cowboys give up for him?

It will decrease it. Two #1 receivers on a team, with an over the hill AVERAGE QB to throw to them isn't a good combination. Things will get even more interesting in Dallas, even if we didn't think it was possible.

I disagree. He was only averaging about 4 receptions per game. The Cowboys didn't really have a great #2 receiver. They have a good TE, but Crayton isn't a great #2 WR. I think teams will still put their best corner on TO, so I'm looking for his numbers to improve. It wouldn't take much.

I would think that the Cowboys gave up too much in this deal.
