"The Dallas Cowboys traded for defensive tackle Quinnen Williams on Tuesday, and in the process provided a lot of interest and intrigue for both the short- and long-term of their franchise. It took a 2026 second, 2027 first (the better between the two Dallas has of their own and Green Bay's from the Micah Parsons trade), and Mazi Smith to get the deal done, but Williams is a Cowboy."
"Quinnen Williams is getting all of the attention as one of the league's best defenders, but the Cowboys traded for former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson much earlier on Tuesday. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, the Cowboys were looking to land both Quinnen and Quincy Williams from the Jets, and when they could not get the latter, they ultimately pivoted to Wilson and Cincinnati."
"Graziano: I heard that at one point the Cowboys were talking to the Jets about a deal that would have sent Dallas both Williams brothers -- Quinnen and linebacker Quincy Williams. But that didn't work out, and the Cowboys pivoted to former Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson."
The Dallas Cowboys acquired defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick (the better of Dallas' own and Green Bay's). The Cowboys also acquired linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals after failing to acquire Quincy Williams. The Jets continue a roster reset that included trading cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for multiple first-round picks. Dallas explored a package to obtain both Quinnen and Quincy Williams but pivoted to Wilson when Quincy was unavailable. The moves reshape Dallas' defensive core immediately and in future contract planning.
