Lions trade WR Roy Williams to Dallas, per Adam Schefter

Geo · 10-14-2008, 03:02 PM

Just broke it right now on NFLN.

Says it's at least a first round pick, maybe another draft pick too.

Discuss.

Holy ****.

Bengals1690 · 10-14-2008, 03:03 PM

o man o man.

TO and Roy? geez

Geo · 10-14-2008, 03:04 PM

This is why I hated the TO extension, because I always felt they should sign Williams instead.

I wonder how much of him finally becoming an irritant pushed for this.

SeanTaylorRIP · 10-14-2008, 03:04 PM

I must see it to believe it, but if the Lions were able to get a first rounder, good job for them. It's not like this team was going anywhere with them. Now if they would only trade the Skins Calvin Johnson..... But yeah RoyWill and TO would be nasty. Now Dallas can have a Roy Williams who actually makes the team better when he's on the field.

Interesting. Very Interesting. Now the Lions have even more chance of getting the #1 overall pick.

Brodeur · 10-14-2008, 03:05 PM

Hopefully it's at least a first rounder. And I've been waiting for this to happen since April so I can't say I'm sad.

CashmoneyDrew · 10-14-2008, 03:06 PM

I guess I can start Calvin Johnson in my fantasy league now without worrying if Roy Williams will steal some catches.

Geo · 10-14-2008, 03:06 PM

If this is a move Detroit was able to make, because Millen was gone, than double bonus for finally canning that loser.

Asking for Demarcus Ware, lol.

Im_a_Romosexual · 10-14-2008, 03:06 PM

Can he play DB for a few weeks? :P

It'll be good to have him once Romo gets back :)

and some good news about the Cowboys, too.

Hah Williams wasn't stealing catches anyways. Calvin still won't put up consistent numbers with friggin Drew Stanton throwing to him.

Schefter's blog for those wanting a link, details to come.

Im_a_Romosexual · 10-14-2008, 03:07 PM

I think TO will welcome it, less double coverge with the good RW on the other side

AntoinCD · 10-14-2008, 03:08 PM

I just hope for the Lions sake their new GM is better at drafting than Matt Millen. I definitely see them go OT first and then DE with their second 1st.

SeanTaylorRIP · 10-14-2008, 03:09 PM

I question though because the Cowboys are a top 5 offense already, if it would have been smarter to target a DB.

drowe · 10-14-2008, 03:09 PM

wow. i hate all the media coverage the Cowboys get, but with the injuries and suspensions and now THIS, i think this team is gonna be very very interesting to watch.

Lito Sheppard? lol

Geo · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

Re: the Lions, I'd go QB (Stafford) first and then DE (whoever remains of Selvie/Orakpo/Hardy/Johnson) second. Then OT in the 2nd.

kwilk103 · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

2009 and 2010 2nd rounders

Bengals1690 · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

2 second rounders, in 09 and in 2010

AlexDown · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

Two second rounders was just said on ESPN

EDIT: Beat badly!

Tampa 2 4 life · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

per Ed Werder:

2009 2nd
2010 2nd

CashmoneyDrew · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

Ed Werder on NFL Live just said they got Roy Williams for 09 and 2010 second rounders.

Hines · 10-14-2008, 03:10 PM

I think this is a great trade for the Lions actually. They are in dire need of a lot of help. If they get a first rounder, they can use their two firsts to help them.
