Cowboys want Roy Williams to work
by NICHOLAS J. COTSONIKA
Dallas owner Jerry Jones doesn’t seem to regret sending first- and third-round picks to the Lions as part of a package for wide receiver Roy Williams — and signing Williams to a big contract extension — even though Williams caught only 19 passes in 10 games for him.
“We are very pleased to have Roy Williams,” Jones said. “We saw an opportunity to get a player that can be our No. 1 receiver. … We gave up the one and the three, which I thought was good for Detroit. …
“We weren’t able to really utilize Roy with the success that we hoped to as the season went along, but that’s coming. As I look to the future, Roy will be our X receiver as I look down the road. He’s at that stage in his career.”
Sounds like Jones wants Williams to earn it, though.
“He’s got a lot of work to do this off-season — and he's going to do it, and will do it — but a lot of work regarding strength and conditioning,” Jones said. “That’ll help him stay on the field.”
