Another troubled player headed our way? Perfect.

Going: Pacman Jones.

Coming: Roy Williams.

Not that one. The good one.

The Cowboys have acquired the Detroit Lions' and former University of Texas receiver and Detroit's seventh-round draft choice in 2009, in exchange for their first, third and sixth-round choices in '09.

Wow, initially that seems like a lot. But think about: Terrell Owens on one side and Williams, 27, on the other.

Seems like the Cowboys are better suited to win the Super Bowl today than they were yesterday. But then again, too bad Brad Johnson will be lobbing softballs to them.– Richie Whitt
