"In exchange for the three-time Pro Bowler, Dallas sent Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick, and the better of their two 2027 first-rounders to New York. The move signaled that the Cowboys are serious about rebuilding their once-feared defense, which has fallen apart over the past two seasons. However, the fallout from that blockbuster deal (and the subsequent trade of cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner to the Colts) has caused unrest in the Jets' locker room."
"Known for his ferocious tackling and sideline-to-sideline speed, Williams brought an energy and physicality that perfectly complemented Quinnen Williams, his younger brother, on the Jets' front seven. During the 2023 campaign, Quincy posted a career-best 139 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 3.0 sacks, earning second-team All-Pro honors. His ability to diagnose plays, cover tight ends, and deliver punishing hits made him one of the league's most complete linebackers."
The Dallas Cowboys acquired three-time Pro Bowler DT Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in a deadline trade, sending Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick, and the better of two 2027 first-rounders. The trade aims to restore Dallas' defense after two disappointing seasons. The deal and the subsequent trade of CB Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner to the Colts created unrest in the Jets' locker room, prompting linebacker Quincy Williams to publicly express frustration about losing his starting role. Quincy remains on the Jets' roster for the season unless released, but he could reach free agency next spring and may interest Dallas.
