Rodney’s Replacement ?

This comes to us via ProFootballTalk: According to former Dallas Cowboys Personnel guy and of Sirrus NFL Radio, Gil Brandt said that “citing an unnamed NFL source, said that Williams could be a cap casualty of the Cowboys if he doesn’t have a strong training camp”.

With Rodney Harrison entering the final year on his contract, and also the possibility of his retirement, the Patriots need an air apparent for Harrison. Who better to fill those shoes than hard-hitting Roy Williams. It has been said that Williams does not fit the scheme that Wade Phillips is running in Dallas, and the Cowboys have had thoughts of trading Williams in the past. With apparently no takers the Cowboys may just have to cut the former first round pick. His rugged style is very reminiscent of Harrison, and he sure would fit the Bill Belichick style of football. There is just talk that Williams could get cut, but he would seemingly be a much better option to the Patriots than James Sanders. In August of 2006, Williams signed a 5-year 25.2 Million Dollar extension with 11.1 Million guaranteed.
