Terrance Williams may have been a consistent target for Tony Romo and Dak Prescott during his time in the NFL, but he clearly did not make his car payments with the same regularity. The former ​Dallas Cowboys wide receiver had his 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat repossessed after failing to keep up with the payments, per TMZ. NFL's Terrance Williams Hit By Repo Man, Snatches WR's Hellcat https://t.co/EJ3Tjt6Pd8 — TMZ Sports (@TMZ_Sports) February 12, 2019 This proposition seems a bit odd when you consider how much he bragged about styling out this ride years ago and the fact that in his six-year NFL career he netted a cool $13 million. However, this year, Williams barely played and was even suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy, which means that he may have missed a few game checks in 2018. Without speculating too much on his finances, he may not have been able to afford the car payments due to that, combined with his affinity for other tricked out cars, like the $325,000 Lamborghini he crashed back in May. Per Terrance Williams, he has 9 cars including the wrecked $325,000 powder blue lambo that idiot former Baylor teammate Kendall Wright wrecked...allegedly https://t.co/9Z4tceUb0c — Clarence Hill Jr (@clarencehilljr) May 24, 2018 I understand wanting to treat yourself after getting your first few big checks from your professional sports career, but nine cars is a little excessive, especially when you've made just $13 million. Hopefully, Williams can get his numbers all sorted out so that this doesn't happen to his seven remaining vehicles.<doc-sep>Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is not having a great offseason so far. According to TMZ, Williams apparently had his nice, green and purple Dodge Hellcat repossessed. It appears that the 29-year-old wide receiver had some trouble making payments on the vehicle, even though he has made close to $14 million during his NFL career. This is not the first time Williams has found trouble with his vehicles. Last year in May, Williams was arrested in Texas on suspicion of misdemeanor public intoxication after his bright blue $200,000 Lamborghini was found wrecked into a light pole. The police found Williams away from the scene of the crime, but found the keys to the Lambo in his pocket. He denied being the one who crashed the car, and the charge was later dismissed. Williams made over $4 million last year but had to repay around $200,000 due to his three-game suspension stemming from the DUI arrest. He played in just three games and made two catches for 18 yards. In six years as a Cowboy, Williams has caught 232 passes for 3,377 yards and 20 touchdowns. The Cowboys missed Williams in the early part of the season, as the offense struggled mightily. But everything changed when the Cowboys acquired Amari Cooper. Dallas went on to win seven of its next nine games and rallied to claim the NFC East title. With Williams on the sideline, the offense continued to improve. Cooper emerged as one of the best receivers in the NFL, putting up 725 yards and six touchdowns in nine games, running back Ezekiel Elliott led the NFL in rushing yards and recorded a career-high in receiving yards with 567 and rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup developed into a nice compliment piece to Cooper, recording a touchdown in the Wildcard round against the Seattle Seahawks and led the Cowboys in receiving yards with 119 in the Divisional round against the Los Angeles Rams. The Colorado State product seems to have a bright future in the NFL, and the Cowboys may now be considering their options with Williams. This young Cowboys team won their first playoff game since 2014, and they didn't need Williams to do it. While we don't want to speculate, the repo man showing up to Williams' place isn't exactly a good sign. We hope that the receiver is healthy and gearing up for a productive 2019, because the Cowboys would benefit from having another electric receiver ready to go. Dallas could choose to go a different direction however. It's apparent that the team doesn't need him, and with Cooper in the fold, Gallup coming on strong and several other options coming their way in the spring — eating a $5.25 million cap hit on a player who seems checked out and offers little production is a no-go.<doc-sep>It appears that wideout Terrance Williams has played his last down of football for the Dallas Cowboys after the team declined an option in his contract. Williams will now be a free agent in 2019, allowed to move on from the only team he’s known since entering the league in 2013. Williams was slated to take up $4,750,000 of cap space in 2019. The fact Dallas built an option into his deal is surprising, and does mean that if Williams signs somewhere this offseason for decent money, he will be part of the team’s compensatory formula for the 2020 draft. According to sources, the Cowboys have declined the option on Terrance Williams’ contract for 2019, making the receiver a free agent on March 14 and freeing up $2.25 million in cap space. Williams caught just two passes for 18 yards season, spending… https://t.co/tl7pWxrWuW — Todd Archer (@toddarcher) February 18, 2019 Although Dallas deciding to cut ties with the disappointing Williams was not a surprise, it was not a highly publicized fact that the organization indeed had an option year baked into his contract which was originally scheduled to go through the 2020 season. The declined option exercised an out in the four-year, $17 million contract Williams signed before the 2017 season, with a $5 million signing bonus. At the end of the day, Williams’ contract will have run two years, paid him nearly $9 million and will result in a $2.5 million dead cap charge. Truth be told, if the option clause had been known by the public, the disdain for his recent contract may never have reached the fever pitch it did. The move ends Williams’ time in Dallas after 68 starts and 83 games, with 232 receptions for 3,377 yards and 20 touchdowns in his six seasons after being selected in the third round of the 2013 draft. He joined a receiving corps with a three-year veteran Dez Bryant, and an emerging second-year slot receiver in Cole Beasley, and with future Hall of Fame tight end Jason Witten, became the centerpieces for the Dallas passing attack during the final years of the Tony Romo era and open salvo of Dak Prescott’s. Bryant and Witten moved on after 2017, and with Beasley a free agent whose words make it appear he’s looking for a change of scenery, the entire group is now likely to be gone when 2019 begins. The Cowboys ranked fifth in scoring in three of Williams’ first four years, the only exception being in 2015 when Romo played in four games and a trio of backup quarterbacks struggled to find any rhythm. Williams was a part of that, hauling in some of the most memorable catches in team history, despite his well-deserved reputation as a frustrating body catcher. Romo’s epic escapes must have a receiver make the play at the end of them, right? Here’s Williams pulling his Terry Toe Taps routine against Seattle in 2014. Of course, the most iconic Romo spin-out was against the Houston Texans and J.J. Watt, finding Williams in the end zone. Williams even made great plays for Prescott, just to a lesser degree. As bidding farewell to Williams was seen as a foregone conclusion after a drama-filled off-season paired with non-existent production in 2018, this news should not change the organization’s outlook at the position significantly. The next few months were already due to be a time of transition for the the Cowboy WR corps with Beasley and Tavon Austin set to become entrants in the free agent marketplace. Allen Hurns is also a candidate for release as he is set to carry a $6 million dollar cap hit. Should Beasley and/or Austin fail to come to terms to return and Hurns is released, Dallas will have to restock a position that currently only has Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup as dependable options with unproven talent such as Noah Brown and redshirt Cedrick Wilson bringing up depth end of the position. Free agency may be an option, but given the manner in which they have been burned with that route in recent years, the Cowboys will probably look to select and develop their own via the draft.

Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams did not have a stellar 2018 and it doesn’t look like 2019 is starting out much better. TMZ has reported Williams had his Dodge Challenger Hellcat repossessed due to non-payments, despite signing a four-year, $17 million contract in 2016 with $9.5 million guaranteed in 2017, and a total career earnings of just under $14 million to this point. Certainly, this is a personal matter and nothing the team will be roped into, unlike his last foray into the gossip columns. This is not the first issue Williams, 29, has dealt with. In May of 2018, he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor public intoxication after his blue Lamborghini was found wrecked against a light pole. There is also video of him riding a bike that same night while also appearing to be intoxicated. The DUI charges were later dismissed by the Frisco police. Williams ended up only playing three games for the Cowboys before being put on injured reserve with a foot injury. In October while on the IR, he was given a three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. In the three games he played, he had two receptions for 18 yards. For the 2018 season Williams was due $3.5 million Williams, a serviceable depth receiver, would be considered a hit given the draft capital spent on him (third round, No. 74 overall in the 2013 draft). He has amassed 232 receptions for 3,377 yards, 20 touchdowns in six seasons, and is due $3.5 million in 2019 if he is not released. His cap hit is currently $4.75 million this year and if released, he’d have a dead money hit of $2.5 million. With the additions of Amari Cooper and the progression of Michael Gallup, it is unlikely the Cowboys bring him back for 2019. You can follow Ryan Welch on Twitter @Rywelch.
