Jets Trade Quinnen Williams to Cowboys
Trade Details
The New York Jets have decided to trade Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys. In return, the Jets will receive a first-round pick in 2027, a second-round pick in 2026, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith. This trade marks a significant shift for both teams as they prepare for the rest of the season.
About Quinnen Williams
Quinnen Williams was picked third overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been recognized as a first-team All-Pro in 2022 and has made the Pro Bowl three times. His performance has made him a valuable player in the league, and his arrival in Dallas is highly anticipated.
Williams' Contract
Williams is under contract until 2027. His salary will be $15.65 million in 2025, $20.75 million in 2026, and $25.4 million in 2027. This makes him a significant investment for the Cowboys as they look to improve their defense.
Impact on the Cowboys
The Cowboys currently have one of the weaker defenses in the NFL and are struggling with a record of 3-5-1. Adding Williams could help strengthen their defense as they aim for a playoff spot. This trade comes on the same day the Cowboys also acquired linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals, indicating a strong push to enhance their roster.
