fritz179 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Haha that's exactly what I was thinking. Now Brad Johnson's noodle arm is going to be really sore from throwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Might spread out the coverage more, and might mean a more open TO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I heard the Lions got a 1st, 3rd, 6th and 7th for him. If that's true that's just plain nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We could have got Tony Gonzalez for a 3rd round pick. Thats what KC was looking to get, with no takers. He sure would have given Gus some one to dump the ball to that has good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loos15 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Holy [PoorWordUsage] that's a lot of picks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hey__bob Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Straight from ESPN....The Cowboys will give up a first-round pick in 2009, plus a third- and sixth-rounder that year for Williams and a seventh-round pick in '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 That's insane to give up that much for an unproven guy. He's decent, but he hasn't lit them on fire. Talk about giving up. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassislife Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Williams is good. With the Cowboys he'll be utilized more. That is a lot of picks though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Might spread out the coverage more, and might mean a more open TO Sounds good in theory, but the barometer will be how many tears T.O. sheds in post-game press conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 thats crazy.I like this trade for alot of reasons. I have Calvin Johnson on my Fantasy team, might mean alot of good points.TO is going to be a horrible player about this, becuase hes not the go to guy ne more.

zepman Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 This trade will not go down good for the Cowboys. T.O. is NOT a team player and he will see far fewer balls his way now. This is a bomb waiting to explode in Big D. This is exactly the kind of move Detroit needed to make to start the rebuilding process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofishfisherman Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 We could have got Tony Gonzalez for a 3rd round pick. Thats what KC was looking to get, with no takers. He sure would have given Gus some one to dump the ball to that has good hands. I just read that 2 teams offered a third round pick for Gonzalez and it wasn't enough. KC wouldn't take anything less then a 2nd rounder. Gonzalez is a stud or atleast he will be for another year or two, but he's just too old to spend a 2nd round pick on.

Wookiee Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 T.O. is a team player in Cowboy land for some odd reason . If you have been watching their games this year you would see that blocking anywhere he can and doing anything to help out. This will have a positive impact on the Cowboys and will free up one of the 2. If they both are double covered they can throw it to Witten or Barber. Sure it might not start showing results until Romo gets back but it was a good move for them especially since they have both Roy Williams now and they are both from that area. The Lions Calvin Johnson will be double teamed constantly now and his value drops and yes he will get more looks of two defenders on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 after watching the review last night about this trade on ESPN, I guess Jerry Jones was talking to TO durning trade, and TO was jacked about him coming. This is what ESPN reported last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I do think they gave up way too much for him still but it will pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Amish Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 the lions traded Roy and a 2009 7th round pick for a 1st, 3rd, and 6th rounder from the cowboys in 2009.just to clarify a post earlier that stated the lions got 4 picks in return, actually they're getting three and giving up one.

so haaad Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 This might mean easier running for Mr. Barber, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Maybe not be a bad trade for either team. Detroit gave up a semi-proven early first rounder (7th pick overall in '04) for a first rounder and a third rounder. Figure the 6th and 7th round swap is fairly even. Dallas will likely be near the bottom of draft order for '09.Might help Detroit recover a little from the crazy "Draft a WR first" mentality that they had for so many years under Matt Millen. 4 out of 6 years they draft WR first?
