IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys have two more agreements to reach with their draft picks after securing third-round wide receiver Terrance Williams to a four-year deal.

Williams, the No. 74 pick overall, will receive a signing bonus of roughly $619,500.

The Cowboys got Williams with the extra pick they acquired in their draft-day trade with San Francisco, moving from No. 18 in the first round to No. 31 where they picked Travis Frederick.

A Dallas native, Williams caught 97 passes for 1,832 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior at Baylor. He finished his collegiate career with 202 catches for 3,334 yards and 27 touchdowns.

The Cowboys expect Williams to be their No. 3 receiver behind Dez Bryant and Miles Austin. After a slow start at the rookie minicamp, Williams’ play improved and had a productive minicamp, which ended last week.

The Cowboys have yet to sign Frederick or second-round tight end Gavin Escobar, but expect deals to be completed quickly.

No holdouts this training camp. When you draft the right people that tends to not happen.

This I cannot wait to see. He'll be our best number 3 receiver in a while.

Thats not saying much.

Holdouts rarely happen anymore anyway. With the new CBA, rookie salaries are basically slotted. Not much to negotiate

Thats not saying much.

We've had a some good ones, Butch Johnson, Kelvin Martin, Kevin Williams, Patrick Crayton, Laurent Robinson. Now Terrance Williams.

I'd say Butch was the best out of all of them.

I don't think Aikman was fond of Kevin Williams.

I don't think Aikman was fond of Kevin Williams.

Not as a football player anyway.

Patrick Crayton and Laurent Robinson were pretty good #3 WR's

Kevin Williams wasn't very good, especially for being a 2nd rd pick.

This is true.

I vividly remember Aikman going after KWill for screwing up a route badly in the playoff game vs GB in 1993 (the first time we played them at home in the playoffs during those years). The play resulted in a pick, and Aikman just ripped his ass on the sideline along with Irvin.

He was pretty much a disappointment as a WR overall. Was definitely not worth the 2nd Jimmy invested in him.

Agree. Never liked him. He was no KMart.

In 1994 Aikman called Williams a derogatory name for screwing up a route and Switzer tried to force Aikman to apologize. He refused.

He called him Redskin. Oops wrong thread.

Didn't KEvin Williams have like a 10 reception 200 yard game against the Cardinals once?

It wouldn't surprise me. They always sucked back then.

Kevin Williams - 1995 Christmas Night

Clinched Homefield against the Cardinals on MNF because of 49ers loss the night before . 200 yd night and 2 TD'S

Emmitt set the TD record for a season that night if I'm not mistaken. Broken a few years later by Tomlinson.

It's also the Jerry Maguire game. The real footage for the movie came from that game.

 

[Jon88]

I remember that game.
