Overview
- Dallas sent a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-rounder and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to New York for Williams, per multiple reports.
- Williams is listed as a starter on the Cowboys’ updated depth chart and brings three straight Pro Bowl seasons with consistent production.
- The Cowboys sit at 3-5-1 after dropping three of four, allowing 30.8 points and 397.4 yards per game, both second-worst in the NFL.
- Dallas retains five picks in the 2026 draft and at least one 2027 first-round pick, and it had just under $20.6 million in cap space to absorb the move, per Spotrac.
- Dak Prescott called the addition 'f--king pumped,' while some fans and analysts questioned the outlay of draft capital following the offseason Micah Parsons trade.
