Cowboys sink a lot of money into one (overrated) position
According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com, the Dallas Cowboys have struck a deal with newly acquired WR Roy Williams on a five-year, $45 million contract extension. Williams will get $20 million guaranteed despite topping 850 yards once in his career.
As I noted yesterday when the Cowboys made the deal for Williams, they’re spending a lot of money on just one position. And an overrated position for that matter. Other teams (Patriots, Eagles, Bears) have made won or made Super Bowl appearances with significantly less offensive weapons than the Cowboys have now.
Last time I checked, Terrell Owens and his massive ego are still in Dallas. And with the NFL’s ridiculous rule of playing with only one football, Williams is going to cut into the amount of times T.O. gets opportunities to make plays in the passing game, which only spells disaster.
While the prospect of having Williams, Owens and Jason Witten in the same offense sounds exciting, there’s trouble brewing – I guarantee it. I guarantee it like the Cowboys guarantee $20 million to a receiver whose work ethic was often questioned in Detroit and not too mention doesn’t mind coming down with a case of the dropsies from time to time.
