Overview
- Dallas acquired Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson in recent deals that cost a 2026 second-rounder, a 2026 seventh-rounder, the better of two 2027 first-round picks, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
- Williams, 27, arrives as a top-tier interior lineman under two additional years of team control at $21.8 million and $25.5 million, reinforcing the defensive front immediately.
- Following the earlier Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay, the Cowboys retain a Packers first-round pick that could bolster their remaining draft flexibility.
- An extension for wide receiver George Pickens has emerged as the next priority, with a franchise tag option required by the spring and a mid-July deadline if he plays on the tag.
- Opinionated analysis contends Dallas should still add a veteran edge rusher to complement Williams, presenting it as a move that could better translate the trades into on-field gains.
