"Dallas is going to re-sign defensive end Sam Williams to a one-year, $3 million deal, per Mike Garafolo and Jane Slater of NFL Network. After coming back from his torn ACL, Williams was looking to prove himself to be the edge rusher the Cowboys hoped he would become after being drafted in the second round."
"Once Micah Parsons was shipped off to Green Bay, it left the door wide open for Williams to take advantage. It didn't come together for him in 2025. Turning the page to 2026, the defense gets to keep some of its depth at a position that had just James Houston as the sole healthy edge player heading into today."
"Williams has become an ace special teams player, so if this signing is to keep a quality player on that side of the ball around, it makes total sense. But there's another chance for him to be a part of the Cowboys' rotation of pass rushers this season."
The Dallas Cowboys addressed their edge rusher position by trading for Rashan Gary and re-signing defensive end Sam Williams to a one-year, $3 million contract. Williams, a second-round draft pick, is returning after recovering from a torn ACL. With Micah Parsons traded to Green Bay and James Houston as the only healthy edge player entering the offseason, the Cowboys needed depth at the position. Under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, Williams gets another opportunity to prove himself as a pass rusher. Additionally, Williams has become a valuable special teams contributor, making his retention beneficial for the defense.
