ESPN: Roy Williams Released

[Mrdude108]

Wow, I honestly didnt see this one coming. I didnt think I would be chocked but I never thought we would cut him. Interesting.

 

[Cowboys22]

Wow. Who's our #3 now?

They will sign a vet WR.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Wow. I have to say i'm surprised by this. Hopefully this Duane Harris kid is a gem because the other WRs behind Dez/Miles dont excite me much at all.

 

[Miller]

Yes!Like it

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

You think they are preparing for a run at Nnamdi?

Don't think so but who knows.

I think they first want to get under the cap. Sign Free and go from there.

I guess if they cut Newman instead of restructuring then maybe they will go after him.

 

[The Emperor]

How much money are we saving?

 

[Concord]

Good Lord what a disappointment he turned out to be.

 

[The30YardSlant]

I just gained 100000000000000000 respect points for Jerry Jones. For only the second time in his life he has put his ego aside for the good of the team.

 

[burmafrd]

Shame as he had finally seemed to get on the same page as Romo last year. Oh well. We better hope for very good health for Austin and Dez; and we will need a good 3rd from somewhere.

 

[CoCo]

That does surprise me.

If the following are all gone (Columbo, Davis, Barber & Roy) that concerns me a bit because we don't have clear successors for two of those starters.

On the other hand, it seems to send a pretty clear message about the direction this team is headed. That part is exciting.

 

[kmp77]

Can we uncut Amendola??

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Wow. I didn't see this one coming. I was hoping he'd get another year but oh well. Hopefully the Cowboys don't feel they have a player on the roster who can be a #3 and they go and get a veteran.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

How much money are we saving?

15 minutes can save you 15% or more.

 

[peplaw06]

This one's a little surprising.

It tells me they're going to make a splash in free agency.

Count me as surprised too. I thought we either lost cap money with this move or didn't save too much? What is the effect on our cap number with this cut?

 

[Arch Stanton]

I just gained 100000000000000000 respect points for Jerry Jones. For only the second time in his life he has put his ego aside for the good of the team.

Ya think Jerry buys into Jason Garrett?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

He will hold a special place in Cowboy History.

 

[Picksix]

Wow. Who's our #3 now?

There are a ton of good WR's in FA. Hope they maybe get a solid #3 relatively cheap.

 

[Bigdog]

Is there a cap hit on this and if there is what is it? I thought if we released him the cowboys would take a big hit on the cap.

 

[Cowboys22]

How much money are we saving?

That should be $15-16 million cut off the 2011 cap with the 4 announced cuts. They should now be under the cap.

 

[zrinkill]

Garrett is showing who is in charge.
