Five teams have already expressed an interest in former Cowboys safety Roy Williams, his agent Jordan Woy said. Williams plans on lining up some trips and possibly moving forward next week.

In the meantime, Williams himself is probably still soaking it all in. When reached Friday afternoon, Williams said he didn't want to discuss the situation and referred all questions about his future to Woy.

There's no question Williams anticipated this day would come. In late February, word broke that the team was shopping the five-time Pro Bowler for a possible trade. At that time, Woy said he hoped something would get done quickly.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Woy recently demanded the Cowboys trade or release Williams. You can't blame Williams' representative for forcing the Cowboys to hurry up and make up their minds. The fact that the team released Williams the same day as Terrell Owens was an interesting P.R. move, as if the team was worried about some sort of backlash from who knows where.

Someone out there must want a veteran safety who is eager to prove he's still got it. Move Williams close to the line of scrimmage, and maybe he can still knock people out. I'm ready to make a strong bet that Williams' NFL days are not over.

Unless he finds a new work ethic and totally rededicates himself: I'll take that bet. The guy has done NOTHING since signing that big deal. NADA.

His days are not over cause someone will give him another shot. He's only 28 years old. I'm hoping that the guy will pull it together and have a nice run, for someone, here and prove a lot of people wrong.

Unfortunately though, he has already proved a lot of people right.

*Nods* For sure. But I can hope the guy gets it together and does well anyway. :p

I really like the guy and wanted him here one more year to see if he could turn it around and I hope he still does, but there is no question that he had slipped big time so I definitely understand the move.

Roy's shoulder tells me otherwise.

He hasn't been the same since that injury.

unfortunately, one of those teams is the Oklahoma Sooners.

I wouldn't be surprised if Roy ends up in Cinn with Zimmer, as a couple of other posters have already stated.

I really hope he ends up outside of the NFC East.

Good luck to you Roy!

Why do I believe Woy but not Rosenhaus?

There's just something about a forked tongue and scales that doesn't inspire confidence. :laugh2:

Roy will be pro bowling and we will regret it in 09'
What kind of language is that? We do not regret around here, we rue.

I still think he's the best defensive player I've ever seen....when he was in college.

I can see the Pats getting him and him playing lights out for Belichek...and everybody will be saying I knew he had something left!!!!!

He is far from done. In the right system he can thrive. You put him with a Bellicheck or Lebeau and he owns.

Someone running a 4-3 will sign him to play LB and he'll do very well there.
