Jerry Jones expected immediate impact from Roy Williams

WR Roy Williams, who signed a five-year extension soon after arriving from Detroit, will be a Cowboy for a long time. But Jerry Jones wouldn't have given the Lions first- and third-round picks unless he believed Williams would make an instant impact.
Williams has made minimal impact so far, catching three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown in three games started by Brad Johnson.
"I thought it would come quicker just because of his presence out there on the other side of Terrell [Owens] could really alter how these teams are going to play us," Jerry said. "That compromised without having Romo out there, but it will be interesting to see how Washington plays us with the way we are using Williams and Terrell out there.
"But my expectations were that he would have an immediate impact and we would get this season out of him. That was one of the bonuses for giving up our 1 now rather than using the 1 in the draft for him at that time. We got a big input from here and a chance to accomplish something this year."
For what it's worth, Chris Chambers didn't make much of an immediate impact for the Chargers after being traded from Miami in the middle of last season. He had 35 catches for 555 yards and four TDs in 10 regular season games.
But Chambers was the Chargers' top receiving threat in the playoffs, when he had 16 catches for 278 yards and a TD in three games.
