"Williams, a former first-round pick from Alabama, has racked up 322 tackles, 101 QB hits and 40 sacks since joining the Jets in 2019. He was the Jets' 2019 first-round draft pick, has been a key piece of the defense since his arrival. He has gone to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons and was first-team All-Pro in 2022."
"Look, let me put it this way, Williams has two years left on his deal, so they might be able to hang onto him for those years, but they are trading more than likely their pick instead of the one they got from the Packers in the Micah Parsons trade before the year started. I give Jerry Jones for making the trade, but this trade would feel a heck of a lot better if they won that game yesterday, but they did not."
Jerry Jones acquired Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in a trade. The Cowboys sent a 2026 second-round pick, the better of their two 2027 first-round picks, and DT Mazi Smith to the Jets. The Jets had earlier traded cornerback Sauce Gardner. Williams was the Jets' 2019 first-round pick from Alabama and has registered 322 tackles, 101 QB hits and 40 sacks with the team, earning three consecutive Pro Bowl selections and first-team All-Pro in 2022. Williams has two years remaining on his contract. The move is framed as a short-term roster upgrade and part of a multi-year plan.
