THE “ORIGINAL” ROY WILLIAMS GETS HIS WISH
Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2009, 10:12 a.m.
With the pad of pink slips already out of the desk drawer for receiver Terrell Owens, NBC Dallas-Ft. Worth reports that the Dallas Cowboys used a second sheet on safety Roy Williams. (Not receiver Roy Williams, Sid. Safety Roy Williams.)
The move comes two days after Williams gave the team a “trade me or cut me” ultimatum, and presumably after the team exhausted all potential trade opportunities.
As of last week, the Cowboys were actively shopping the seven-year veteran, but could find no takers.
Williams had been griping for nearly a year about his perception that he’s not a good fit in the specific 3-4 system used by coach Wade Phillips.
Per Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News, the move saves $2 million in 2009 cap space.
Look for the Dolphins and former Dallas head coach Bill Parcells to possibly make a play for Williams.
