As a lions fan, I think this is a great move. Maybe they can pick up some linemen and a franchise QB in the next draft. Kitna was never at the level that you could build an offense around him. I really like Kevin Smith in the backfield and their defense has potential but they need a big time QB soon.
NFL: Lions WR Roy Williams traded to Cowboys
- Thread starter ISUFan22
- Start date
Roy has been riding the pine of my fantasy football team. Wish I could trade him for that kind of value! Maybe this will make him worth a start.
Good move talent-wise...although giving up 1/2 of your picks in next year's draft will hurt. But if they have extras that will soften the blow a little.
The big question is how will he fit in ego-wise. He has a horrible attitude (like TO) when things aren't going well.

You know if Millen was still in charge, they'd have traded Williams for a few kicking tees and a sack of shiny things.
I took his post as how the pick Dallas gives to Detroit is imacted by the Pacman deal - which it is not.
Reports are RW has already verbally agreed to a 5-year deal that would lock him up with Dallas through 2013.

I was thinking a t-shirt and a ham sandwich.
Seriously, I am a Lions fan (now where is my paper bag to put over my head). I think this is what the Lions need for long term. I believe they are near the top of the salary cap, and need a influx of good draft picks to rebuild the team. They are not strong at any position sans wide receivers before today.
Actually, I understand the question he's asking.
When a team has two players with the same last name, usually you see the initial of the first name on the nameplate as well as the last name (i.e., J. Lewis and R. Lewis on the Ravens several years ago).
When a team has two players with the same last name and the first initial is the same, I've seen cases where either the first two letters of the first name or the entire first name went on the nameplate (although examples are slipping my mind)
In both cases the numbers would distinguish the players, and in the Ravens case Jamal Lewis plays offense and Ray Lewis plays defense. The point is the teams/NFL makes an attempt to try to distinguish the names of the athletes as well. Should be interesting to see what the Cowboys/NFL will do when you have two players with the same name playing on the same team.
Nah, I was thinking he'd make a similar deal to what was just made. He just would have spent all of the draft picks on receivers that don't fit the offensive scheme being implemented (that is, if there is a scheme in the first place).
