boyst Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I never want to see a player fail but I do not believe Roy Williams will find much success throughout the remainder of his career. I do not know if he would be an upgrade to any WR we have due to salary demands, however, he may be able to fill an X roll allowing Lee to be the Y that he naturally is...

sllib olaffub Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'd like to see our young recievers get some playing time, though. As it stands now we're going to see some cuts that might be mistakes - Jones, Roosevelt, and the other rookie - not Easley - have looked pretty good. So, if Williams would take a much lesser contract, and if he showed he still had "it", then I'd say he'd have to really look far better than our young guys. In the event he did, I could see Gailey cherishing the opportunity to take a Cowboy castoff and turn him into gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllib olaffub Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I just looked at the Cowboy's roster... dang, those 'boys gonna be hard to stop. That could be a probowl offense there, with Roy Williams, Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Patrick Clayton, Witten, Romo, Felix Jones, Choice, and Barber. Their Defense is real good. If they aren't in the Super Bowl, a whole bunch of guys are slacking and getting canned. And their O.C. is creative, too. The NFC playoffs are going to be nasty this year. Saints, Vikings, Packers, Cowboys, the other two wild card NFC East teams. Some high powered offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsner Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/...in&hpt=Sbin I'de maybe sign him for a dollar. But if he doesn't pan out, he would be obligated to give that dollar back. Even then he would be taking away valuable snaps from the players we already have who will do more than roy's sorry ass ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hplarrm Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 just because you have heard of a player before does not mean he is an upgrade for the Bills This the key for the Bills whether he is an upgrade over what they currently have. Based on the press he has gotten it seems likely not. However, it does not matter one bit whether he is another Texas wipebutt or whatever name one wants to call him, the key question is whether he is an upgrade over our lead candidate for #2 WR Johnson who regressed statistically across the board last year. Is he an upgrade over Parrish who I think has demonstrated he deserves a shot at the #3 job but I think is quite doubtful to be the #2 we need. Is he an upgrade over two time disappointment Hardy or over rookie Easley. Even though it is not harder to show more talent than any of our candidates, thee is a character question which can only be measured by shaking the hand and looking in the eye of the player (and not by some pronouncement from some armchair internet guru like us. Should we sign Williams if possible? Well we certainly have a large hole at #2 WR and it is up to Gailey and the braintrust to meet him when he hits FA and decide on whether he is an upgrade or not.

Saints, Vikings, Packers, Cowboys, the other two wild card NFC East teams. Some high powered offenses. This could have been cut and pasted from last year's preseason. Bryant is the only new addition, and rookie WRs rarely make a huge impact. Romo -- despite the gaudy regular season stats -- still has yet to prove he's a playoff QB. And yes, if that entire roster were wearing the red, white, royal blue, navy blue, and silver of the Buffalo Bills I'd be enthusiastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I liked him a lot in Detroit. Same here, I thought he was on the verge of breaking out as a top WR. From a talent perspective, he's an obvious upgrade for the Bills, but it seems unlikely he'd accept a modest contract and be the kind of humble, hard working veteran this team needs.

The only good players you listed was Miles and Witten, thats it. Chokeomo is looking at year 7 in the NFL. Yep he sat on the bench for 4 years before the Bleedsoe blowup. He ain't getting better, but worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills offensive line would need to be much stronger to allow HIM to get him down field and their QB to find him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Had a few good years in a pass happy Lions offense (1300 yards in 2006 and 838 yards in 12 games in 2007) and was solid in his first two years as a Lion (817 yards and 8 TD's his rookie year in 11 starts and 687 yards 8 TD's in 12 starts in his second season) but he has fallen off a cliff as a Cowboy in 2008 he had an atrocious year and had a bad year last season with 500ish yards and 8 TD's (Nice TD total but his receptions and yards indicated that he wasn't a consistent factor in the offense). If the Cowboys release him I would pick him up the guy is 28 which isn't too old. He is a big receiver (6 foot 3) who could complement Evans he played good with Jon Kitna which means he doesn't need a great QB to be successful. Williams is worth a shot honestly I know there is a lot of well just because you have heard of him doesn't make him better. But be honest is there any receiver on our roster that is going to catch 8 TD's like Williams did last season? As much as I want to give guys like Johnson and Hardy a chance I think its too much of an upgrade to pass up Williams for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Let me just say that we should at least look at him if he is indeed cut. This guy has produced, and even on bad teams with bad quarterbacks. For whatever reason, he has not worked out in Dallas. I am a BIG supporter of giving our young guys some playing time to see what we have and if we need to address a position next year. However, Roy is just 28, so if he did find his form again he could be a long term answer at WR, unlike some aging vet like TO was. This guy not only produced in Det, but was a highlight reel making all kinds of incredible catches. So, he has talent, but something has happened since he got to Dallas. Either he just hasnt been able to settle into that offense or lost some confidence (or a combo of both), but he was a playmaker and for more than one fluke season. In fact, at this point, he has had more good seasons than bad. So, if he is cut, he would be a very attractive player to bring in and see what he can do given his age and the ability he has shown in the past. Not to mention, he has good size too. He is about the only WR on the market I would endorse bringing in over our young guys though...If he struggles, then cut him and roll with our young core, and I do like the potential of our young guys.

billsfreak Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/...in&hpt=Sbin I don't think he will get cut, if they wanna dump him they will find someone who will give up a 6th or 7th round pick, which would be embarrasing after what they gave up for him not too long ago. He did manhandle the Bills a few years ago when they played in Detroit, he made the Bills look like little boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure talent wise a team would give up a 5-7th round selection but they don't want him at the ridiculous salary he makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
