Cowboys Acquire WR Roy Williams

Welllll, shit. I feel like we could have made this deal.

Fuck the corporate world. I'm happy w/ our wideouts, but this is more than a damn shame. It means the Cowboys will have an elite WR for the forseeable future. It means we'll need to pull out a TON of nickel/dimes vs. them when they're at full strength, which means that their running game will be picking up a lot of yardage.

Sucks when teams get 2 #1 WRs. It'll be very tough to cover.

I guess this's been gone over in a separate diary. Didn't see commentary.

*shrugs

big freaking whoop. statistically, he’s barely better than reggie brown. he cried being number 2 in detroit to calvin johnson; only a matter of time before he starts in dallas. with the losing their about to do with brad johnson at the helm, TO will be anything but receptive once he starts taking receptions from him.

on top of that the cowboys gave up everything but their new stadium to get him.

roy is good, no doubt, but extremely overrated. if anything, the girls didn’t need a WR…cornerback…even qb maybe? this will sting them in the near future and next season.
you’ll see…

4th and 26!!!!

To top it off

How in the hell do they sign him longterm? They have no money this year anf they do have a few free agents next year that need to be signed as well as their draft picks. And again let’s not talk about those DB’s.

I would love to blow up Texas Stadium... With team still in it

But they’ll just waste the picks on more overrated WR’s and career backup QB’s
