Did he get a new deal or is he still a FA at the end of the year? Seems a steep price for someone who is being rented for part of this year.
You know, this trade does nothing to help Dallas' (battered) defense. Dallas need not need more offense. Especially at an already deep receiver/te position.

Supposedly everything is ready to go and it just needs to be signed and a physical taken.

Agreed already on the parameters. Between $8.5-9,000,000 per for 5 yrs, in the neighborhood of $50,000,000 total.
They're working on how it will be paid out.
They Cowboys still have 9 picks next year.
Stunning.
Soon after announcing the deal, the Cowboys said that they had given Williams a five-year extension on his contract that was set to expire after this season.
The Cowboys acquired their new star hours after learning they lost another in cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, whom NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Tuesday for at least four games.
Goodell will determine the full length of the suspension following the Cowboys' game in Washington on Nov. 16. Jones was in repeated legal trouble while with the Tennessee ans and was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle Oct. 7 with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas.
Jerry Jones, who has never shied from adding players with checkered pasts to the Cowboys locker room, made a point Tuesday to mention Williams' "outstanding character, no matter who you talk to."
Williams said the first phone call he received after the trade was from Owens, who has complained recently about not getting enough catches in an offense that lost quarterback Tony Romo this week for perhaps a month with a broken finger in his throwing hand.
Jerry Jones said Owens was "elated and beside himself" upon hearing the trade. Williams said he and T.O. talked about winning.
"We got two guys out there that can really run, they're big, but as you know, both of them can really make spectacular catches," Jones said.
Williams is expected to begin practicing with the Cowboys on Wednesday, and play in their game Sunday at St. Louis.
Williams will line up opposite Owens in an offense that has not had a clear No. 2 receiver since waiving veteran Terry Glenn this summer. Tight end Jason Witten leads the Cowboys with 39 catches and two touchdowns after six games. Owens has 23 catches and 5 TDs.
Yeah but what good is getting Roy Williams next year when they want to win a Super Bowl this year?
Not saying your logic isn't right - it absolutely is. That's by far smarter than giving up what they did for Roy. But Jerry Jones and all of DFW is screaming "win now!" and while this may hurt their future, they just took a big step towards winning right now by making this trade.
I'm not sure I agree because they gave a 1 for a position they would have taken anyway and he is ready now instead of 2 or 3 years. Also, we know he is good, he's still young. The biggest thing is money and thats a non issue with Jerry.
Scratch what I said mono...I see what you meant...I read your reply too fast the first time.
I agree
Because the post I responded to talked about whether they'd make the same deal on draft day, so I responded in kind to that hypothetical in terms of timing.
Okay I see. Still, hypothetically on draft day giving up all that would be about 1000000000000x worse than them really giving it up right now. Doing the deal right now makes sense while doing that same deal this offseason is stupid beyond comprehension.
hope u guys are prepared to see many catch able balls dropped...
I guess you don't know who led the league in drops last year.
Anyone know what Phili was offering up? Surprised they didn't go for it.

If TO es just ing cut him.
I'm tired of these 20 million dollar a year gots who cry like little es.
I see no reason for TO to . He's been staring down double coverage and help zone all season long. This will free him up form being the decoy 80% of the time.
I listened to the Roy Williams conference call. TO was the first Cowboy to call Williams. T.O. is "exstatic" about playing with Roy. Roy said he wants to contribute in any way he can and can't wait to play along side a verteran WR for the first time in his career.
I think it will be a good move. I don't see Roy Williams being a great WR but he will be very good for them for a few years.
This morning on 1310 the ticket in Dallas
Jerry Jones has been working on this deal for 2 years…
If Detroit had accepted this trade at the draft they would have gotten more than they got Tuesday. Wow..
Who didn't see this one coming?
http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW...east110908.htmCowboys sources say WR Roy E. Williams is starting to show some frustration over the fact that he hasn’t been used more in his three games with the club (three catches for 38 yards and one TD), which already has to raise doubts about a Williams-Terrell Owens pairing working over the long term. With so many mouths and egos to feed, it might be difficult for QB Tony Romo and coordinator Jason Garrett to make everyone happy.
name one receiver in the entire NFL that wouldn't be frustrated over playing with Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger.
I'm sure Jason Witten is frustrated, and he's been there longer. Where are the reports of him ing?
Why would he ? He's struggled out there just as much because of his ribs.
