They reportedly gave up a 1st/3rd/6th for him. That's a really high price to pay.

I would have liked him in a Bears uniform, but not for that price.

They needed another WR but not that badly. This could cause a lot of internal problems for the Cowboys as well, especially with Romo out for a month. Should be interesting, high risk high reward type of deal.

Steep price. Too bad the Lions can't draft.

Defense is bad? Offensive line hurting you? Red Zone turnovers?

Trade 3 picks for a WR!

The Cowboys weren't hurting for offensive weapons to begin with. This doesn't address any problems they had, and it's an absolute ton to pay for a 2/3rds season rental of Williams. I mean he's a UFA at the end of the season, they could have just signed him next year without giving up 3 picks.

It would be pretty funny if he left them after the season though.

I would keep my picks, and use it for something more useful. Like, offensive line help.

Weird thing is that the Lions will just draft 3 WRs with those picks.

And he signs a 5 year extension. fun

Steep price to pay, but Romo/Barber/Jones/Williams/Witten for the long haul is scary.

I was just saying 2 games ago how Roy was who I wanted the bears to target in FA.No way I give up that many picks for someone I could try and get this offseason.Everyone nows TO doesnt like to share touches though so look out .........

TO is 34.

I don't think it's a bad thing that they are preparing to move away from him. He's already lost a step this year and isn't getting as good of separation. He's got maybe one year left at very high level (and maybe not), but after that he's done. The thing with TO is that he doesn't have great hands, so as his athletic ability fades his usefulness fades too. He's not like Jerry Rice who could hang on forever due to outstanding hands and route running.
