WR Roy Williams Era Begins

Breaking News: Dallas Cowboys cut Terrell Owens.

Mixed feelings about this one.

Pros:

• Rid of team cancer. The less talented WR's on the team was picking up his shitty attitude, I'm looking at you Patrick Crayton.
• Gives Tony Romo a chance to finally lead the team, with his pal Jason Witten.
• Terrell Owens' production was way down last year. Age catching up to him? We'll find out.

Cons:

• $12 Million signing bonus last year, for a $34 million dollar deal. I don't even want to think about the dead money on this cut.
• Lack of a clear number one go to receiver. Roy Williams? Christ.
  

Honestly, given the cash tied into T.O.'s contract, I didn't think Jerry Jones would open the new Texas Stadium without him. I had thought that T.O. would be dumped at the end of the upcoming season, at least get one more year of service for that $12 million signing bonus.

My guess? Behind the scene meeting between Jones, Romo, and Garrett - somebody must have said it's either he goes or I go. Garrett went on an interview for the Ram's head coaching job, so it must have been Romo.

Where will T.O. land? Redskins perhaps with a "stick it to Dallas" discount? I know one place he won't go - Kansas City.

Update #1: Cowboys release Safety Roy Williams. This one was obvious, his salary numbers could not be justified by his production. Excellent run stopper, bad in coverage.

Not many guys have a NFL rule named after you. That in itself is quite an accomplishment. Coincidentally, the tackle that made the owners pursuit the rule in the off season was Roy Williams on T.O., funny how these two guys played for the same team in the subsequent years and are now out of work 12 hours apart.

Update #2: Now we know exactly what Jones meant by "Romo-friendly". Not sure how "friendly" the team is now, as there are a few players who believed T.O. was right. It would have been much better if Romo stood up to T.O. for himself, instead of having Jerry Jones cut him. Oh well, now there is a CB and a WR spot open for the winner of the Michael Irvin reality show.
