You're welcome Cowboys fans. After last week's Saturday Morning Sports Week 6 Trade Deadline Spectacular, Detroit shipped wide out Roy Williams to the Cowboys in exchange for a first round pick, a third round pick, and a sixth round selection in the 2009 draft.
Williams was unhappy in Detroit, and became expendable with the emergence of last year's first round pick, wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Johnson has caught 23 passes so far this season for 377 yards and three touchdowns for the 0-5 Lions.
The deal bolsters Dallas' receiving corps, already a strength of the defending NFC East champs. With Terrell Owens, Patrick Crayton, and tight end Jason Witten already getting the majority of Tony Romo's throws, it could be difficult find enough passes for Williams, especially considering TO's willingness to complain about not receiving enough touches at the drop of a hat.
Of course, Cowboys fans will have to wait to see what kind of chemistry Romo and Williams will have. Dallas' starting quarterback is out up to four weeks with a broken pinkie finger on his throwing hand, suffered in Sunday's overtime loss in Arizona.
In the only other trade deadline move, Buffalo sent defensive tackle John McCargo to Indianapolis in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick. McCargo, who the Bills used a 2006 first round pick on (26th overall) , struggled to move up the depth chart in Buffalo. The Bills are leading the AFC East with a 4-1 record.
