The Dallas Cowboys have executed a blockbuster move, securing elite defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets. This trade will add star power to a faltering Cowboys defense while accelerating the Jets' ongoing rebuild efforts just before the NFL trade deadline.
Details about the trade
Reports from multiple sources detail the Cowboys surrendering their own first-round pick and a second-round pick for Quinnen Williams. Crucially, this does not include the first-round selection the Cowboys obtained from the Green Bay Packers in the prior Micah Parsons trade. The Jets also receive former first-round defensive tackle Mazi Smith as part of the exchange.
Williams is signed through 2027. His base salary for 2025 is $15.65 million. Next year, it increases to $20.75 million. In 2027, it becomes $25.4 million.
Despite claims of avoiding a fire sale, the Jets have now stockpiled three first-round picks and additional value, turning what could be seen as distress into strategic high-value returns.
