Looks like things are really heating up as we approach free agency tomorrow. According to FOXsports.com, The Cowboys are actively shopping Roy Williams in attempt to get some sort of value for him before he is released. I wouldn’t expect anything higher than a conditional 4th or 5th rounder, maybe even a player swap. Its more likely clubs will wait for his release in which Roy can have his picking. Roy has said he doesn’t like the 3-4, so I’m sure he’d like to hit the market and land with a 4-3 club.
There may soon be only one Roy Williams on the Dallas Cowboys roster.
The Cowboys have contacted NFL teams trying to trade Williams, a five-time Pro Bowl safety in his seven seasons in Dallas, FOXSports.com has learned. If a deal can’t be reached, Williams could be released to clear room for the Cowboys under the salary cap.
Williams played in only three games last season because of forearm injuries. Although regarded as a strong tackler, Williams has struggled in coverage and is no longer considered a good fit for Dallas’ 3-4 scheme under head coach Wade Phillips.
Williams, 28, is scheduled to earn a $4.4 million base salary in 2009. He is under contract through 2010.
