bu7ch Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2007/12/williams_jones_likely_to_leave.html Williams and Jones, who were both first-round draft picks in 2004, will become unrestricted free agents after next season and sources close to the players say they've had enough and want out. Wonder if Danny already has his eye on snatching up Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is possible seeing as the Skins are the masters of cap manipulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Roy Williams is a great WR. It's too bad he had to become a Detriot Lion. We can only hope to god that he doesn't go anywhere in the NFC East except the Redskins...then again we probably can't afford him anyways. Gotta pay those millions to Brandon Lloyd to ride the bench.

BALLz Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The one thing you learn about Williams very quickly is that he loves Texas and would love to return to his home state. Williams is a Texas guy and mentions it in nearly every interview and flies back to his home in Odessa to see his young child every chance he gets. If the Lions get two consecutive days off, Williams bolts for Texas. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it shows where his heart is. You left this part out and I don't like how that sounds at all. Hurry up and sign him Houston. Don't let him go to the Boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let him go to the Boys If he wants to return to Texas, after 08', Dallas would make more sense than Houston. He can probably be the #1 option or at the very least 1b cause Owens will be like 36 in 09'. Not to mention Romo sits to pee > Schuab and for now atleast our franchise is closer to reaching a SB.

dallasfan Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 And money probably won't be the biggest factor for him, cause he probably could've gone top 3 in the 03' draft but decided to stay at UT for his senior year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 We have alot of restructuring to do this offseason. We won't be able to afford him, but in a way, I'm tired of signing these star players. I'd rather try Anthony Mix and sign Bryant Johnson of the Cardinals to be our big possession receiver. No more spending gobs of money on these guys. I can't imagine Detroit just letting him go. They'll franchise him and try to get a 1st and 3rd for him. He's their best receiver right now.

I would love to sign Johnson, I think he's a beast...Good player, fairly young with talent and potential. Johnson also flies under the radar....he's exactly the type of player we don't go after.

Goaldeje Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I am the only one who thinks RW is a little overrated apparently. He makes spectacular plays, and then disappears for stretches. He's a good receiver, but not going to be worth what some team is going to pay him. :2cents: I love the idea of signing Mix and Br. Johnson. Both young, develop-able players. Both tall, and seem to work hard, love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Snyder could, he'd land him. I think the cap will prevent him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigredskin77 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm hoping the Redskins stay away from Free Agency and focus on the draft. Yes and get a GM which i know wont happen but Please get 2 good pass rushers in this draft. We have had no pass rush for the longest time. Please im begging you. We get 2 pass rushers we become a serious contender for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll franchise him and try to get a 1st and 3rd for him. He's their best receiver right now. Exactly, I don't want to go after "sexy" anymore. I want to go after good talent, but not super "look at me" talent. As good of a player Williams is, and a decnet guy off-field (no major problem other than tipping issues), he is not what we should get. I think the best teams, their awesome players are drafted, with a few FA complements. The free agents then come in to do the middling work, like what Rabach has done for us. The Patriots are obvious. The Packers, look at their WR's and tell me you expected that corps as a whole to be as good as they are. Look at that line, also all drafted, and now they are opening holes for the guy who backed up Julius Jones at ND (Ryan Grant). Then they sign Donald Lee to be the solid TE for them. Nick Barnett and AJ Hawk, both drafted too. The Cowboys, most of them are drafted or like Romo sits to pee, have spent their full career there. Same with the Colts. We have given big free agents a shot, we've been giving them chances since 2000. Lets take this team back and continue with the low-key approach adopted in 2006.
