Video transcript:

Roy Williams (S) - Roy is in a tough spot. Cincinnati has been interested, but they probably wont do anything. As a physical, bigger safety teams are matching up more with lighter safeties so they can make plays. So right now it's Cincinnati or nothing.

Pacman Jones (CB) - Don't know any teams are interested. He has personal issues and comes with heartache. Has some difficulties if he does come in. He might be on ''Joes vs Joes'' or some other reality show, but the reality is it may take some time for him to get back into the NFL

Interesting for both of them. The Adam Jones one doesn't surprise me, I figured we'd be the final team to take any real shot at him. Now he'll only get on a team who is in desperate need of Corner help.

Roy I figured would get a nibble or two. I'm surprised to hear it's Cincy or nothing.

 

[WG5516]

Poor Roy, I was really hoping he would land on another team.

 

[Eddie]

That's amazing about Roy. He went from star player and face of the team to someone no one wants.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I wonder if that new 4-team league (where Jim Fassel, Dennis Green, etc. are coaching) will make a run at these 2 or other former NFL big names.

Jones is a natural fit for that.

Williams won't play unless he gets a good deal. There have been whispers that he just doesn't like playing that much. No passion for it. He'll play for a big deal but not for a small one.

than Roy is gonna be a full time preacher cause nobody is giving him a big deal.

That's amazing about Roy. He went from star player and face of the team to someone no one wants.

It's pretty hard to believe. I guess other teams saw what we saw over the last few years; a guy who didn't appear to have the speed necessary to stay on the field consistently.

 

[FCBarca]

I guess it's hard to believe that other teams are aware of what it took Jerry a few seasons too many to figure out...RW was already done as a safety

[big dog cowboy]

I wonder how interested Cincy would be in Roy if Zimmer weren't there.

As for Pacman, he just needs to go away.

 

[casmith07]

Roy can always come back and play special teams.

ROY WILLIAMS!

You know, I never really disliked Roy until a) Adam was so on his jock and b) his lame excuse for missing voluntary sessions last year.

So really, Roy and his #1 fan did this to me.

[HeHateMe]

What an amazing fall from grace.

From being the face of this franchise in 2006 to no one giving him a shot until probably camp time when the injuries start happening.

Sad, really.

 

[gbrittain]

I remember just last year a few people trying to convince the board that Roy was not really as bad as the media and us fans were making him out to be.

I guess we now know who was right and who was wrong.

 

[Nav22]

I'm not surprised about nobody wanting Roy. He chose Jesus over pigskin and "stopped playing angry" because of it. Too bad he couldn't balance the two like Reggie White did.

He started mailing in his NFL career years ago, and fans aren't the only ones who noticed.

Teams know that if you bring a guy like THAT into your locker room, it's detrimental. Roy is still a household name thanks to the reputation he established as a big-time hitter, so impressionable young players will listen to him and look up to him.

I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't want Michael Hamlin or DeAngelo Smith listening to ANYTHING Roy has to say about life or football. It can't be beneficial for them to be influenced by a guy who made a conscious effort to "stop playing angry" and flushed his career down the toilet in the process.

You want safeties who are willing to work, give it 100%, and who love their jobs.

Not to mention, willing to hit a WR coming across the middle like he stole your mama's purse.

 

[This is Our Year]

Nice to see our former players have latched onto other teams so quickley, oh wait..

 

[EPL0c0]

I remember just last year a few people trying to convince the board that Roy was not really as bad as the media and us fans were making him out to be.

I guess we now know who was right and who was wrong.

I wonder if Roy will still argue that it was Dallas' scheme that made him look bad and not his abilities (or diminishing/lack of abilities)

 

[BAT]

I wonder if KC (Pendergast) is interested. He was Roy's secondary coach when he was considered one of the best, if not the best, safeties in the league. Lots of Zimmer talk, but he was Roy's DC, and I doubt he had as much impact on Roy's success as Pendergast.
