Five Dallas Cowboys Free Agents: Keep or Let Walk?
Terrance Williams, Wide Receiver
Age: 26 – 2016 Cap Hit: $1,825,868
A third round pick in 2013, there may not be a more polarizing player on the Cowboys roster when it comes to fan opinion. While some believe he is the perfect foil for Dez Bryant, there are other who cannot wait to see him out of a Cowboys uniform.
Williams has a serious reputation as a body-catcher, and always seems to make a mental error at the worst possible time.
The market for Williams will be an interesting one to watch. He is capable of making big plays that change the outcome of the game, and has shown he can be a good complementary piece across from Dez Bryant.

However, Williams failed to step up his game when Bryant was forced to miss time over the last two seasons, putting his ceiling at a very good second option in an offense.
Teams are always looking for new toys in the passing game, especially in today’s quarterback-driven league. While teams usually have their primary target figured out, many are always looking for somebody to take some defensive attention away from their star.
We’ve seen that Williams can fill that role, but the body-catch tendencies may scare some teams off. While the price likely won’t be too high, the front office can draft a replacement or even look in-house to replicate his impact, likely at a lower price.
