"The Dallas Cowboys are a team notorious for being risk-averse and reluctant to make trades. However, something has gotten into Jerry Jones and the front office this year. First, the Cowboys made a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire wide receiver George Pickens, and that has worked tremendously so far this season. Then, after a much-publicized contract negotiation, the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers."
"Dallas sent a package that included a first-round pick and Mazi Smith to the New York Jets in exchange for Quinnen Williams. It's a shocking and exciting change of course for the Cowboys that nets them one of the NFL's best interior defenders and secures him in Dallas for the foreseeable future. As fortunate as the Cowboys are to have Williams' services, there are still some questions to ponder in the trade's aftermath. Here are ten burning questions following the Quinnen Williams trade."
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office shifted from a historically risk-averse approach to aggressive in-season trading this year. The team acquired wide receiver George Pickens from the Steelers and later traded Micah Parsons to the Packers. The Cowboys also added linebacker Logan Wilson for a seventh-round pick. Most notably, Dallas sent a package including a first-round pick and Mazi Smith to the New York Jets for Quinnen Williams. The Williams trade brings an elite interior defensive lineman to Dallas and locks him in for the foreseeable future. Several questions remain about decision-making, asset allocation, and long-term roster impact.
