    Hey all, was just thinking about wasted roster spots (= Paul Williams), and that got me to pondering about Roydell Williams.
    For a guy who really seemed to be doing something at the end of last season, I'm just interested to find that he can't seem to land anywhere at all. Other than a workout and a physical for the Rams late last month, I haven't been able to find any news.

    So what does everyone else think? Is Roydell done in this league? He's had a long time to recover from that injury, but admittedly, some players have needed longer even than that. Does anyone think he may have a shot next year with any team?

    From memory, Roydell needed surgery which would have put him out for the season. For many WRs with major surgery, it takes another full season afterwards to recover.

    On a related note, Courtney Roby looked pretty good returning kickoffs for the Saints a few back. I saw where Joe Fellini was cut from Detroit.

    Roydell caused me to post for the first time. I had been reading on the board for about six months beforehand, but posted when Roydell was drafted, since I'd watched him in college.

    I'm betting he'll be on someone's team next season after recovering from injury. Maybe even ours. He could certainly take Paul Williams' spot.

    I'd like to see Roydell back if he's still able to preform at a high level. But right now it seems more like he's the next one in the line of the Dyson's, Calico's, Givens'.

    From what I had heard, he was supposed to progress quite nicely once he got the screws and pins out of his lower leg/ankle. I would like to see him back at full speed, he was a tough runner with the ball. He could surely take CDavis' and Paul Williams' spots if healthy you would think.

    Hopefully the team drafts a WR who's even better than Roydell to take Paul Williams' spot. Or brings in a free agent like Torry Holt.

    Edit: I know Holt is signed, but I think there's a decent chance he gets released.
