Dallas Cowboys acquire Detroit Lions WR/49ers rumor Roy Williams

WR Roy WIlliams, this is S Roy Williams...hope you guys can get along.

Can anybody remember a trade of this significance at the NFL trading deadline?  The Cowboys give up a 2009 first round pick as well as a 3rd, and a 6th and give up get back a 7th round pick.

Apparently the deal is not 100% complete as the Cowboys have a window to negotiate an extension with Williams.  If they can work it out, it certainly provides another big time weapon for Brad Johnson, and of course Romo once he's healthy.

EDITOR'S UPDATE 3:00PM: The Redskins have signed Shaun Alexander to a 1-year deal.  Ladell Betts is hurt and they need a backup to Clinton Portis.  Given his role in the offense this is a solid signing in my opinion.

And Pacman Jones has been suspended for at least 4 games.  Just a wild day of news.

too much, I think

Roy Williams is talented. That’d doesn’t make him great. And great is what the insinuation is when you give up that much for a guy. And isn’t he in his contract year?

I hope he sucks (odds:even). And I hope the lions waste the picks (odds: astronomically good). That’s the 49er fan in me.

The NFL fan in me hopes it works out well for both teams – I like deadline trades, and have always wanted to see them be a bigger deal in the NFL, even though I understand why it doesn’t always make sense. Seeing this deal be beneficial for both teams might mean a few more clubs loosen up to the idea of dealing players mid-season.

Mid-season deals.

I think linemen may be the best players to deal at the deadline, as they don’t require that much to adjust to their new teams (in terms of scheme and such). Other positions, especially the offensive skill positions, will almost always need some adjustment period, which there isn’t much of at week 6 (almost the halfway point of the season).

I’m with you, though. It’s always interesting to see mid-season deals and it’d be kind of neat to see more of it.

wait a minute

it sounds like the lions are sending the 7th rounder to the cowboys, that makes a bit more sense
