PFT: Lions Still Shopping Roy Williams...Cowboys make offer

[MTCowboys88]

isn't he only in his 2nd year at TTU, can you enter the draft that early?

I believe he just turned 21, so he's draft eligible as a soph.

He's a redshirt sophmore...he is eligible for the next draft.

17 minutes left. :bang2:

 

[Hailmary]

Has there been ANY trades so far today? Even a minor one?

 

[peppersquad]

There is no way Jerry will give up Austin, he is just starting to become an impact WR. I think that is false.

Its Roy Williams dude. The good Roy Williams. That first is going to go on a WR anyways that we HOPE is going to be good. Roy Williams is only 25, this is a no brainer.

Lions forum seems to suggest that Glazer is reporting this as being a done deal...Paperwork just being done

Personally, I'd rather spend less to get someone like Houshmanzadeh but we all know Jerry gets what Jerry wants.

 

[mrecktid]

doesnt seem like it'll be happening, 3-4 minutes left

 

[Ren]

guess we'll know in 5 minutes

 

[Hoofbite]

Not happening.

Is this like the NBA, NHL and MLB trade deadlines where moves can be made after the deadline if they are still working out the kinks?

Just because time runs out doesn't mean it will be reported instantaneously, fellas.

 

[JPM]

Just because time runs out doesn't mean it will be reported instantaneously, fellas.

Why do you have to ruin it ???

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

Just because time runs out doesn't mean it will be reported instantaneously, fellas.

That's what I was thinking. As long as the trade is filed with the league by the deadline, it's ok. It may not become public right when it happens... if it happens.

shefter called it on NFLN as done deal

just updated - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3643295

The Dallas Cowboys are close to a deal to acquire wide receiver Roy Williams from the Detroit Lions, a source told ESPN.com Tuesday. The trade would involve multiple draft picks but would not involve the Cowboys' first-round pick.

If sheffter is right about the trade Jerry got owned!
