08:03 AM ET 07.27 | Among the roster casualties in Dallas, Roy Williams saw the writing on the wall. [Williams] was still at his home in Odessa when he got the word from owner Jerry Jones that he was going to be released. Williams said Jones told him the move was being made for salary cap reasons. Though he was disappointed, the former Longhorn star reacted in true Williams fashion. Known for being too open and honest, Williams said "It is a business. It is what it is. It's a business. I would have done the same thing." Williams never lived up to expectations after the Cowboys gave up four draft picks, including a first-rounder in 2009, to get him from Detroit in the middle of the 2008 season.

For the right price... we will have you back.

But - you are a #3 receiver at best on this team.

Hell - maybe a #4 (if we resign Hurd...)

No..time to move on. He'll be picking up someone's pads at another training camp.

Suits me...

Worst move Jerrah has made. Didn't think he could out-worst Galloway but he did. At least this mail-order Casanova is gone.

Good to the last drop...

Free signed last night - 4YR @ $32M... that means Columbo is gone also.

Around $20M in cap space cleared up. Jerry had a plan as he sat in on these negotiations.

Now... resign Kosier then get started on the Defense.

if Williams is cutting himself, should one of his friends get him into therapy?

Again, FN has over-hyped a non-story. He cut himself shaving.

Word..... Was thinking the same thing, then I realized... Either they didn't bother to dig a little deeper for their "copy pasting", or the threads usually always sucked and we didn't realize it.
