The trade deadline is today and Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on The Fan this morning that he won't be doing any dealing.

Moments before last year's deadline, he swung a deal with Detroit for Roy Williams on the same day Adam Jones was suspended by the NFL.

"We won't be doing any trading today," Jones said.

And Jones said he has no regrets about the Williams' deal either, despite Williams' lack of stats, the $45 million contract and the first- and third-round picks the Cowboys gave up.

Jones said he looked at the third-rounder as a chance for Williams to play for the Cowboys last season and the first rounder to get him for this season. The teams swapped sixth and seventh round picks, which Jones considered a wash.

"I'm glad we got him because we got where we want to be - a young wide receiver in Miles Austin on the way up and a chance to stretch the field," Jones said, "and then Roy Williams as your No.1 receiver with a chance to have a great year because of how hard he's been working."

This man is so delusional. I don't know about you guys but I would rather have Hakeem Nicks or Kenny Britt over Roy E.

I believe we're not making any trades today, I do believe that, but I could have swore that last year he also said we wouldn't be making any moves as well.

I am disappointed in how Williams has performed in the passing game but I am THRILLED with the effect he has had on our running game!

If you go back and look at each of the long runs by our RBs you will see Roy Williams blocking downfield on nearly every one of them. He has really been the key to our leading the league in runs of over 20 yards (the Titans are 2nd but have played one more game than us).

Roy will improve as a receiver for us but his contribution to the team so far has been outstanding!

Why? We have done a terrible job of getting our receivers involved the last 2 years.

At least there would be optimism with those guys. With Roy I feel like he's reached his peak and you know what he is; an inconsistent, overrated possession receiver

that's what i was thinking also.

does anyone remember off hand what Jerry said at this time last year?

i'm not advocating making a move today, but i don't really think you can ever put anything past Jerry

No. no. just plain no. We're fine with Roy Williams. Britt, Nicks need a few more years. I'd take Crabtree he'll be better than Britt and Nicks.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Thank god.

No trades.

We tend to take it up the rear when it comes to trades.

WOW.

Just wow.

 

[TheSport78]

WOW.

Just wow.

I'm going over pure potential. Roy has little at this point in his career. The sky is the limit for Nicks and/or Britt

Jason Witten was drafted with a 3rd round pick.
Marion Barber and Tashad Choice were 4th round picks.

So Jerry just decided it was worth giving up a 3rd round pick so we could have Roy for half of a season last year - even though he would be coming in here not knowing the system and with no rhythm between him and Romo.

Yet ANOTHER example of the idiocy that is Jerry "the GM" Jones.

I'm sure you had those 3 players on your mock draft too.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

How many GMs in the World of sports have a Track Record like Jerry Jones over the last 13 years, ZERO cause they got CANNED!!!!


:horse: :horse: :chainsaw:

Just pointing out what can be had with a 3rd round pick. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have an opportunity to have a player the caliber of Witten, MBIII or Choice over getting Roy Williams in here for half of a non-playoff season.

Not real sure what a mock drafts has to with it.

Harvin has not done that much he been ok

Yet this year Eddie Royal has done jack nothing with the passing game not the priority and Marshall not drawing near the attention as he has in the past Eddie has done what ?

Colston has been the best rookie wr he was the #1 WR for a winning team and he was a 7th round pick that almost got cut
