Vikings Agree To Trade WR Williamson To The Jaguars
Quote:
Minnesota Vikings' last link to the Randy Moss trade reportedly will be jettisoned from their roster later this week.

Though nothing may be officially announced until Friday at midnight ET when the NFL's new league year starts, the Jaguars have all but agreed on a trade with the Vikings for wide receiver Troy Williamson.

Williamson was given permission last week by coach Brad Childress to find a new home via a trade. The Vikings are expected to receive a sixth-round pick for Williamson.

The Jaguars were looking to add speed at receiver, and Williamson is one of the fastest in the league at the position. Going to the Jaguars will allow him to reunite with Mike Tice, the Jaguars assistant who was the head coach in Minnesota when Williamson was drafted.

Williamson was drafted in 2005 with the seventh overall pick, which the Vikings acquired from the Raiders for Moss. Other players which Minnesota acquired for Moss -- linebacker Napoleon Harris and cornerback Adrian Ward (picked in the seventh round via a Raiders selection) -- are no longer with the franchise.

Last season, Williamson was fined a game check -- a decision later reversed by the team -- for leaving the team to be with his family in South Carolina after the death of his grandmother, Celestine, to whom he was very close.

Williamson chose to stay at home the entire week and not return for the Vikings' game against the Chargers.

The Vikings wanted him back sooner, though, and docked him one paycheck for his absence, which amounted to more than $25,000 of his $435,000 base salary.

But after veteran players voiced support of Williamson's decision, the team opted to change course.

In 2007, Williamson caught 18 passes for 240 yards and one touchdown. In three NFL seasons, he has caught 79 passes for 1,067 yards and three touchdowns.

Information from ESPN.com's John Clayton and The Associated Press was used in this report.
Doesn't really make them better at WR..at all but its interesting non the less

I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free

I haven't followed him closely. What the fuck happened that he's only worth a 6th rounder?

He can't catch, like, at all. He can run really fast though.

SS is right. Dude can't catch or judge a ball in the air to save his life.

There are some seriously hilarious clips of it on Youtube.

You know, I thought you two were exaggerating. And then I saw a clip of him getting hit in the back of the head because he mis-judged the ball that bad.

Then I saw him 15 yards wide open, and completely dropping a pass.

Then I saw him drop another pass.

Then I saw him drop another pass.

Finally, I decided that you two were right.

Re: Vikings Agree To Trade WR Williamson To The Jaguars
Ok, so I went over to Youtube and you're right.. horrible plays. Misjudgment, poor hands, the works. Then I clicked on some of his college highlights and he was making some amazing moves and blazing past defenders. I remember seeing him in college and thinking, "wow.. he's fast"

What the hell happened? Why is he so awful now? It's definitely not because he isn't getting open. He's getting open, that's not the issue. He was wide open on those college highlights and he CAUGHT the ball. They weren't amazing catches but hell, he wasn't dropping easy ass balls all over the place.

Re: Vikings Agree To Trade WR Williamson To The Jaguars
Maybe they can use him as an RB or a kick returner with his speed.

I'm a good old rebel,
Now thats just what I am,
And for this Yankee nation,
I do not give a damn.
I'm glad we fought against her,
I only wish we'd won.
I ain't asking any pardon for anything we've done.

Re: Vikings Agree To Trade WR Williamson To The Jaguars
A kick returner is basicly all the can use him as, hes that bad at WR

YouTube - Troy Williamson Thats lol, busts the Broncos shittastic defense, 10 yards out in front of the secodary and drops the ball.

I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free
