The Chicago Bears have officially started their pursuit of receiver Roy Williams, according to a league source with knowledge of the Bears' thinking.

Williams was released by the Cowboys Thursday afternoon. He previously flourished in Mike Martz’s system while teamed with Martz in Detroit. Martz also has strong ties to Bears receivers coach Darryl Drake, who coached Williams as Texas.

Greg Olsen The Bears have been looking for a big receiver to complement their group of speedy targets, and the need for such a receiver just became greater with tight end Greg Olsen being shopped for a trade.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 215-pound Williams is entering his eighth NFL season. He caught 37 passes for 530 yards and five touchdowns last season with Dallas.

He is a dog who quits and run bad routes. Should fit right in. Hook em Horns!

Yes, but....sigh....he'd still be far and away the best receiver on the team.

He would be but that's not too hard. He would poison the rest of the team and he's not as good as he thinks he is. No thanks.

Williams had his best season (that got him paid) under Martz. I actually can see the bright side here.

Right up until he feels he's not being targeted enough....

Going after Roy Williams is so Bear like. Lovie likes guys who are old, bad, & over the hill. Roy Williams sucks. I would rather have Sims Walker, Holmes, or even Edwards.

Right. We need another Lovie/Martz guy. They all worked out so well.

I agree.

I'm a cowboys fan first and bears second.....and NO WAY do the bears want this guy. He quits on routes, runs bad routes, drops balls, and all of the above.

He has the size and ability and all...but unless there is a change in his performance and effort, I hope the bears stay away.

In Nas-like fashion I will predict a Roy Williams Career-Renaissance (renaissance being somewhat inappropriate - implying that he actually had some type of worthy career prior to this, but I'm going with it).

He's now been cut. Realizes this is it. Has been reunited with the genius of Mike Martz.

3 straight 1000+ yard seasons.

2011 - 92 rec. 1215 yards - 12 TDs

Could happen but I'd rather go the safer route with Sims-Walker.

No...this can not happen...

The Hall of Fame is littered with problem children who figured things out with their third team at the age of 29 in an offense that wasn't designed to suit their few strengths.

Come on they have a point. He will have something to prove, he was okay in detroit, and will know the system. He was never really a good fit in Dallas. He does seem like an asswipe though.

I would love to jump on your bandwagon Doc but I just don't see it. His attitude sucks. At least when T.O. had the attitude he produced on the field.

The Roy Williams, who most in Chicago will compare to a Jerry Rice/Tom Waddle combo tomorrow morning. He mailed an engagement ring to his girlfriend. She said no, apparently to Mr. Postman. He sued to get the 78k ring back. It sounds like Jay and Roy will be a great combo. See what I did there? #Iwishthatwastheendofbadjokes

I thought you were talking about TenFootPenis. I just wanted to be sure. Somehow, I don't he will reciprocate and vote against my opponent. It's your job to convince him otherwise.

You know what they say; some people are wise and some people are otherwise.
