Former Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams has found a new NFL home in Cincinnati, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, striking a deal with the AFC North team months after being cut by the Cowboys at his request.

The move reunites Williams with former Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, the Bengals’ defensive boss.

The former Pro Bowl defensive back agreed to a short-term, incentive laden contract, Williams’ agent told Bengals.com, declining to give out specific details.

“There were a couple of teams offering considerable more money, but Roy liked the fit in Cincinnati,” said Jordan Woy, Williams’ agent. ”It’s a good fit for both sides really. Roy obviously has a great relationship with Mike Zimmer and he’s excelled in that defense and the Bengals are happy to get a guy like that for their defense.”

Drafted eighth overall out of the University of Oklahoma in 2002, Williams was limited to two games last season due to a fractured forearm and recorded six tackles.

The 28-year-old California native has registered 506 career tackles and 19 interceptions in seven NFL seasons.

I guess they don't have enough ego's on that team

Ok....I'll set the over/under at 1.5

The number of players in the AFC North that will go on the DL after being horse-collared by Roy Williams.

Go.

I'll take the over by the way.

i already have the offensive gameplan for the Bengals game now.

play-fake or pump-fake to Roy Williams side of the field....then throw to whoever he was supposed to be covering because he'll be busy running full speed towards the line of scrimmage.

or...when he is covering the flats, make sure the RB knows to run full speed at him after the catch and then take one step to the left right before he gets there. he'll just keep running full speed right by them.

Quinn can hit the deep ball against the BENGALS!!!

PERFECT!!

lol...I tell you.....Cincy has definitely been busy this year...this divisioin is gonna be tough....

With him and Maualuga though you can definitely tell they're trying to shore up their run defense.

I'm curious to see how Maualuga performs in the NFL. Many have doubted that he can be much more than a two down backer. His stated overagressiveness could be a problem. Over run a play in the NFL and it's very hard to get back into it.
That being said, I got a feeling that he is going to be a stud that many teams regret not drafting.

Now THAT'S agent speak.

you don't know that.....a player might decide to turn down more $$$ to go and play for Cincy....


umm.....I guess

Perhaps it wasn't about playing in the Nati, but playing for his old coach? I suppose as a defensive player there might be an allure to playing for Marvin Lewis as well.
