Rod Marinelli says that Roy williams will not be traded and that he envisions the Johnson/williams tandem to be a very productive one for years to come.
http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...
Marinelli envisions Williams and Calvin Johnson, the Lions' first-round draft pick last year, as a dominating receiving tandem.
Marinelli was forceful in answering when asked if Williams will be traded.
"No," Marinelli said. "I know the rumors that are out. Those two guys together, I want to see those guys where they can really impact a game. They are special.
"They've got to have, and they will have, great years for us. We have to ensure they have great years. Those are explosive weapons."Not many people have two guys like that on a team. We've got to do everything we can do to protect our quarterback -- get the ball to those two big guys. I'm very confident he's (Williams) here. Very confident."
Williams, a first-round pick in 2004, will be on the last year of his contract this season.
Marinelli seemed adamant that roy williams will not be traded. If he's not on the trading block,that doesn't leave any real top level WR's in free agency with the possible exception of donte stallworth.

Yeah, I saw that...
Wonder if Marinell's saying that to see if the another team's willing to ante up a higher draft pick?

Caldwell will not last past the second round...
....he could go as high as the late first and I would not expect him to be available past the middle of the second round. Andre is certainly not Reche.

i agree Fargo....late first, early 2nd...
He is the most polished out of the speedy slot guys...won't go past #50....but ya never know...WR's tend to slip...and they will in this draft for sure.

Caldwell is my #2 WR...
While DeSean Jackson lacks size, Sweed doesn't have the quickness either. Caldwell gives you the best combination of reasonable size, speed and quickness.
It's a weak group though. Reminds me of the '06 group...
1 (25) Santanio Holmes (DeSean Jackson)
2 (36) Chad Jackson (Andre Caldwell)
2 (44) Sinorice Moss (Maqrio Manningham)
2 (52) Greg Jennings (Limas Sweed)
With that said, there are going to be some real bargains. It's conceivable that Manningham, Doucet, and Hardy could be there at the end of the second round. Great value.

Roy Is A FA after Next Season
No big deal if we don't land him through a trade. We already have leverage because he wants to play close to home. We could aquire him next off-season without it costing us draft picks.
I'd look for a bargain speed guy like Devery Henderson once FA starts. TO and Witten are going to be the Number 1 and 2 options. We just need someone that can stretch the field vertically on the opposite side.

Terry
I'm aware that Roy wouldn't come cheap. But how many more years are we going to lock TO up for ? I mean the guy is what 34 going on 35 ? I'd say that if both contracts were structured correctly, we could have both signed. I can't see TO signing longer than 3 more years when he is extended. And, Roy does want to come back close to home. This might mean he signs for a little less than market value.
by ZachR on Feb 25, 2008 3:03 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I disagree, Roy will want a big contract
there will be no homer discount for sure.
Regarding T.O., I see him playing at a high level for at least 3 more years because of his incredible conditioning and freakish genes.
No way can you pay 2 WRs close to 10 million a year.

his stats do not warrant big money...
good luck to his agent to try to compare his stats to any of the top 10 WR's in the league....R Williams will get second tier money with his totals and injury history...

yeah thats the problem
is williams is going to want $10 mil per year.we can't afford to pay roy $10 mil and To $11 mil. we need to find some one a little more reasonably priced alternative. Plus crayton just signed a 4 year $14 mil dollar extension.Too much money at one position.

Your forgetting
TO won't be here for much longer so we could easily afford Williams. Williams would be the franchise WR. He won't get a 10 mil a year contract from a team. He would get a reasonable salary with a nice size signing bonus to keep his base down.

WHAT??????
TO won't be here for much longer so we could easily afford Williams.
What?
TO will go at least 3 more years WITH the cowboys
Williams would be the franchise WR. He won't get a 10 mil a year contract from a team. He would get a reasonable salary with a nice size signing bonus to keep his base down.
Thats why the lions were looking to trade him,because he was looking for an extension in the 10 mil a year range.
by TrueBlue24 on Feb 25, 2008 3:50 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He's only under contract for
one more year. As of right now he may not be on the team after the 2008 season. We will probably extend his contract, but nothing is certain. That's my point.
That in mind we have to look to the future for a impact #1 WR to replace him. Roy Williams would give us that guy for years to come when TO is gone whether thats after the 2008 season or two or three years down the line. At some point we have to be prepared and not wait until the last minute before addressing it.

If we sign a player like Williams

so would I, but
TO is on the downslide of his career at 35. That's just the plain hard facts. He may get a 3 year extension, but may only see a year or two depending if his diminishing skills. It happens to all the greats, his skills are going to deteriorate. We just need to be ready with a younger player capable of being a #1 WR.
Right now we don't have that guy. Besides TO we have a bunch of #3 WR's on this team. As much as people want to think Crayton is a #3 WR, not a #2. That's why he is paid like one. When I think of #2 WRs, I'm thinking of the Wayne's, Hoshmanzada, Boldins, Roy Williams or Calvin Johnson. Crayton isn't even on the same page as these players. The difference also is that those players I mentioned could be #1 WR's.

Skills diminishing????
I haven't noticed any diminishing skills the last 2 years,As a matter of fact, 166 receptions,2500 yards receiving,and 28 touchdowns. I don't call that on the downside(or downslide ...as you put it)of his career.
TO is on the downslide of his career at 35. That's just the plain hard facts. He may get a 3 year extension, but may only see a year or two depending if his diminishing skills.
I understand the need to groom a replacement.But not at 10 mil. a year while TO is still the best wide out in the league. Thats why you draft guys with potential.give them a few years to get ready when TO is finally done(no time soon...mind you).
Give it up Roy williams is a good receiver,but he wants way too much money,and has a history of being a "china doll".
Simply put,we can't afford him,even if we wanted him.Plus we have more pressing needs than signing a WR who'll wreck our salary cap. We need to get younger at receiver,but not at that cost.

who ever said he wants 10 mil??
Where are you getting you information from? I haven't seen a quote yet about Williams wanting 10 mil a year. The only thing that has come out is that he wants out of Detroit and would like to be in his home state.
On TO: TO is still great, but his speed has declined. Williams is a very good receiver and won't cost anywhere near 10 mil a year. Are you prepared to give TO 10 mil a year?? because if you think Williams would want that than TO would want more right? You really think Jerry would give TO more than 10 mil a year based on his age. I think not and expect him to walk if that happens. This is the reason I said we need to be prepared if TO is not around after the 2008 season. Nothing is guaranteed he will be back, just like Flozell. People need to take the blinders off. TO is not going to be on this team more than 2 or 3 years.

http://www.draftdaddy.com/blog/nfldr...
Last night we posted that our main source in Indy was reporting the Detroit Lions are shopping star wide receiver Roy Williams in hopes of getting a 2nd round pick in return -- either in the upcoming draft or next years draft.
This has created a buzz on many fan sites and has caused many to ask us why Detroit would even consider trading such a young and talented wide receiver for "only" a second round pick?
Here's the response from our source, when we asked the same question: Williams demands for a contract extenstion are pretty steep, which will knock down the Lions asking price in trades. He is reportedly looking for 8 to 10 million dollars a year, with a 28 million dollar signing bonus.
As for TO,He made 10 million in 2006, 8 million in 2007 and Scheduled for 7 million in 2008.
Are you prepared to give TO 10 mil a year?? because if you think Williams would want that than TO would want more right? You really think Jerry would give TO more than 10 mil a year based on his age.
http://lb.dallascowboys.com/news.cfm...
Owens is scheduled to pocket $10 million this season, combining his $5 million signing bonus with his $5 million base salary, which equates to a $6.66 million salary cap charge in 2006.
He has a pair of $3 million roster bonuses due over the next two years, and is scheduled to receive a $5 million base salary in 2007 and a $4 million in base in 2008
Yeah,I'd expect him to ask for 10 mil and I'd certainly expect Jerry to pay it.
The difference?
OWENS IS WORTH IT
by TrueBlue24 on Feb 25, 2008 7:20 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
You stand corrected
TO 2008 base salary is 4 mil with a 3 mil roster bonus, not 10 mil. Total 2008 salary is 8 mil including his roster bonus.
He has a pair of $3 million roster bonuses due over the next two years, and is scheduled to receive a $5 million base salary in 2007 and a $4 million in base in 2008.
http://lb.dallascowboys.com/news.cfm...
If Roy Williams is looking for 8 to 10 mil a year that would inlcude roster bonuses. It could be structured much like TO's.
TO is not going to get a 10 mil dollar base salary. Never, ever going to happen from Jerry Jones.

Jerry has already paid TO $10 mil.(2006).
R williams is not worth anywhere close to TO money.
His stats from 2007 suggest patrick crayton money.
actually crayton scored more touchdowns than R williams did last year.
TO will get an extension,as a matter of fact his agent,Rosenhaus,was talking to jerry at the combine about TO's extension as well as Barbers.
He'll get at least 3 year 25 million...if not more.
Roy williams will be picking up kitnas throws off the carpet at the silverdome....HaHaHa!

I know he got 10 mil in 2006
but that's not going to happen again. Not when he will be 3 years older. TO will be 36 during the 2009 season.
I bet they don''t extend his contract until after this season, if they do. It really depends on who we sign as a FA this off season whether, or not he gets an extension. Were not in a good money situation right now. Newman, MB3, Canty have to be extended before they hit FA after the 2008 season. Colombo and Ware in less than 2 seasons. I'm not sure overpaying for an aging WR who will be 35 this season is very wise. Marvin Harrison, who is 35 was one of the best for a long time hit a wall this year. This could happen to TO. It would have to very cap friendly for me to consider given him a contract extension after this season.

bad comparison
Roy Williams:
12 games. 64 Rec for 838 yds. 13.1 avg. and 5 Tds on a bad team.
Crayton:
15 games 50 Rec for 697 yds. 13.9 and 7 TDs.
Imagine if Williams would've had Romo throwing to him. He would've crushed Crayton's stats. He could easily get over 1000 yards and 10 TDs in this offense WITH TO.
Crayton is not even on the same page with Williams. There is a reason why Williams was the 10th pick in the 2004 draft and Crayton was a 7th round pick.
Crayton is a #3 WR in this league and Williams is a #1. It's that simple.
BTW, in case people want to question the speed of Roy Williams.
Williams ran a 4.4 40 at the NFL Combine.
Thats fast for a 6'3 215 lbs WR. Keep in mind he is only 26 with plenty of years ahead of him.

I can only compare what actually happened...this isn't fantasy but reality....
the reality is crayton outperformed williams in 2007.
Bottom line....Williams is a second teir WR,deserves second teir money and isn't even the best WR on his own team.
TO is the best WR in the league...hands down.
williams will never even be in that conversation.

Williams played 3 fewer games
the reality is crayton outperformed williams in 2007.
The only reason Crayton put up better numbers than Williams was because he played 3 fewer games, but he still had more yards and only 2 fewer TD's. Point is Williams is a superior WR compared to Crayton. It's not even close. He is a #1 WR talent, Crayton is not. Williams could fill the void when TO left, Crayton can't. He just doesn't posses that kind of ability.
And yes, Williams would've put up better number under Romo.

I'm not saying Williams is
your missing the point. The whole point on acquiring a threat like Williams is we would have a threat opposite TO for the next year or two or three. When TO is done here we would have a guy in place. Let's be honest, TO is not going to be here more than 2 or 3 more seasons. The guy is 35 yrs. old. He's going to break down. Everyone thought Jerry Rice was going to play forever and he deterioated quick after 35. It's going to happen. We just need to have some pieces in place when it does.

while I agree this will be T.O.'s last contract
I wouldn't say he will wear out after 35. Rice played exceptional up until he was 40 if you can remember. T.O. keeps his body in phenomanal shape and has great genes. I could easily seeing him play well that long if he wants to.
My argument is that those receivers combined are going to command too much money. There is no way Williams will come cheap.

that williams is fragile and sat out 3 games

I never said crayton was better,I said williams wasn't in TO's league(which he's NOT!)and that based on his stats he was more comparable to crayton(which is true)
Williams could fill the void when TO left,
Williams....again isn't even close to being in TO's league...and should be flattered to carry TO's jockstrap!
And yes, Williams would've put up better number under Romo.

he is NOT a #2....believe me...if we get R Williams..i'll be as happy as anyone...but it's not financially feasable right now....next spring it will be, cuz i see a major salary purge coming...Right now we address a real deep threat, speed burner in the draft....we need a guy that can deep....period.. Desean Jackson, Andre Calwell, Royal, Reynaud all fit that bill...or if you really want to go with Roy Williams types....Sweed, Kelly, Thomas fit that bill....We don't need R Williams...He would be a luxury pick up, and we can't afford that luxury this year...I hope he does stay in Detroit this year...and we get him in FA'09.
I'd actually prefer a run at Randy Moss over Williams...pay him the 6-9 mil a year...without giving up first day draft pick.

Follow the conversation please
I was just commenting on

That's was the point.
We need more than a mid round first round draft picks in the event TO is not around. Which could very well happen. The problem is this year there are no great WR prospects.
This from Mickey in a Q & A:
Mickey: Boy, you got that right. But here is the dilemma. Yes, from what the Cowboys saw in Stanback's development this past season, but mostly from practice sessions, they do have this feeling they are sitting on a gem. He has the speed to be very dangerous at wide receiver. He appears to have the necessary hands and athletic ability. Now it's just a matter of learning to play the position, like understanding what routes to run against what coverages, how to break jams at the line of scrimmage and become instinctive. That's what will take time. So while the Cowboys do think they have landed a keeper in Stanback, it sure would be hard to consider him the second receiver for the upcoming season if Glenn doesn't return. There would be nothing wrong with covering themselves by spending a high draft choice on a receiver, especially knowing Terrell Owens is moving into the final year of his contract. Might need a safety net there if Owens' asking price for 2009 becomes too steep.
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news.cf...
Even Mickey realizes TO may not be around. Blowing mid round draft picks is not very smart business if your looking to replace a talent like TO. It has to come via FA or a high draft pick.
Well see if Stanback is that gem, but at this point I don't like the pick. We shall find out in training camp.

To tell you the truth Boyz I don't like any of these WR this draft class. None of these players have the potential to be #1 WR in this league. They are either too small or too big and slow. WR is not an easy position to come in an play right away and I don't see any of these guys doing it. I wouldn't touch any of them until the 2nd or 3rd round.

like I said on several occasions..??????
I have always held the position that we should wait till day 2 to draft a WR...

thats why we're not trading for Williams
T.O. is our superstar WR, he's much better than Williams, its not even close.

totally agree ZachR.....
That's the approach I'd hope we take...we can get by this year with TO, Whitten, and Crayton....T Glenn is only an added bonus if he plays....
Getting a speed burner in the 2nd-4th range would only solidify us more for this one season.
Then we can think R Williams, Chad Johnson, etc to pair with TO....in '09 to open up the new stadium, when we wipe over 20 millionm off our cap after this season.

Marinelli is playing the media
They already publicly stated they are entertaining offers for Roy Williams. Williams has said publicly he wants out of Detroit and wants to be in his home state. Detroit knows he will be a UFA next year, which means they must move him or get nothing in return. So what does that lead you to believe? Roy is going to be traded on draft day or sometime after.
