Cowboys trade news: Dallas pursued Quincy Williams in Quinnen Williams deal

Cowboys trade news: Dallas pursued Quincy Williams in Quinnen Williams deal

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.

The aftermath of the trade deadline is always interesting as everyone involved starts to get a sense of things with dust having settled. The New York Jets are clearly rebuilding towards...

3 reasons for the Cowboys 27-17 loss to the Cardinals 

3 reasons for the Cowboys 27-17 loss to the Cardinals 

Before the Dallas Cowboys kicked off their game against the Arizona Cardinals, Jerry Jones claimed on the Stephen A. Smith Show that he had already made a trade and was working on a few more. Despite Jones not stating who the team had traded for, we now know it was Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals, or was it Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets? It’s fair to ask, does it even matter?

The Cowboys lost another game after they played sloppily, and the defense continued to hemorrhage yardage at an alarming rate. The loss essentially signals to the...

Cowboys vs. Cardinals Stock Report: Cowboys franchise seems to reach new low

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Arizona Cardinals. At just about no point in the game on Monday night were the Cowboys competitive. All the worst fears and speculations were realized in the manners in which we predicted in our worst thoughts and the cruelest part of it all is that none of us are surprised.

The season carries life in a technical sense, but it effectively ended on Monday night. The bye week will force us to dwell on this for a long time which is just great.

Here is our Stock Report from the Cardinals loss.

Cowboys survey: Who is to blame for the team’s poor start?

Cowboys survey: Who is to blame for the team’s poor start?

It has certainly been a strange few days for the Dallas Cowboys. Coming off the 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, it felt like the season was over. And it may still be. But Jerry Jones decided to take one last throw of the dice in 2025 and trade for Logan Wilson, and more importantly, Quinnen Williams.

Now we have to recalculate for a minute and absorb the new reality. Can the season really be saved? Do these move make sense now and for the future? Energetic debate is already ongoing about the trade deadline moves.

But instead of looking...

2025 NFL Week 10 Power Rankings: Cowboys fall after another bad loss

2025 NFL Week 10 Power Rankings: Cowboys fall after another bad loss

The Dallas Cowboys have lost two games in a row for the first time all season and morale is rather low around them for understandable reasons. Tuesday’s trades certainly made things a bit more interesting, though.

With the team on their bye week it means that if they manage to win their next game (against the Raiders in Week 11) they will have gone just about a month since last tasting the sensation of victory. That is tough.

You can imagine that national perception of the Cowboys right now is that they are one of the worst teams in the...

What does the trade for Quinnen Williams mean for Dallas?

This trade would have probably felt a heck of a lot better if Dallas had not lost to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night football, but still, Jerry Jones made the move for Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, who lost his starting spot to a rookie with the Bengals.

In case you somehow missed it, let’s start with getting the details of the trade out of the way first.

Dallas a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to the Jets to complete the trade for Williams. The 2027 pick going to the Jets will...

Quinnen Williams turns Cowboys defensive line from weakness to strength

Quinnen Williams turns Cowboys defensive line from weakness to strength

Let no one say that this trade deadline was uneventful. Daybreak brought news of the Cowboys’ trade for linebacker Logan Wilson, but the real headliner was made later on Tuesday. Jets star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams was sent to Dallas in a deal that involved former first-round pick Mazi Smith.

People are already debating the value of the trade, and that’s fair, but the fact remains that Williams is one of one. He’s been one of the most impactful interior defenders in the league since turning pro, making plays as both a pass rusher and run stuffer.

Since entering the...

BTB Wednesday Discussion: Describe the Cowboys trades in one word

The Dallas Cowboys have a new linebacker in Logan Wilson and new defensive tackle in Quinnen Williams. They acquired them both on Tuesday as the dust was still settling on their loss Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals.

Obviously the hope is that Wilson and Williams help stabilize a defense that is in sore need of help. Right now any help is welcome as the Cowboys defense is bordering on historical levels of ineptitude.

How would you describe the Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams trades in one word?

The Hidden Stat That Explains Why Dallas Folds Under Pressure

The Hidden Stat That Explains Why Dallas Folds Under Pressure

Dak Prescott is 1–19 when trailing by 10+ at halftime, which is a stat no quarterback wants— and the Cowboys’ defense keeps failing when he needs them most.


Prescott’s 1–19 Curse: Cowboys Collapse When Down Big

When Dak Prescott trails by double digits at halftime, the numbers are staggering.
In his Dallas Cowboys career, Prescott is 1–19 when down by 10 or more at halftime — a stat that highlights how Dallas falters when forced to play from behind.

And while much of the public criticism falls on Prescott, the truth is clear: the Cowboys’ defense has been...

Cowboys have clunker on both sides of ball, reach bye week in trouble

The Dallas Cowboys are using the trade deadline to try and save themselves in a 2025 season that was already on thin ice going into Monday night against a struggling Arizona Cardinals team, and might have slipped away entirely with a 27-17 primetime loss. Can you even fix a defense that painted Dallas into this near-impossible corner, no matter what Jerry Jones tried on the trade market? Is Brian Schottenheimer’s offense really a revelation after another uninspiring effort saw Dak Prescott hit nine times, sacked five, and Ryan Flournoy come up with the team’s only offensive touchdown well into the...

Jerry Jones takes a big swing at the deadline

Jerry Jones takes a big swing at the deadline

Jerry Jones pulled the trigger on two trades just before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.

Neither trade landed the “big name” players recently linked to Dallas.

Both trades were aimed at shoring up one of many glaring weaknesses on the Cowboys defense. Both Quinnen Williams (Jets) and Logan Wilson (Bengals) have solid numbers against the run.

Dallas had reportedly been pursuing Minkah Fitzpatrick (Dolphins), Trey Hendrickson (Bengals), and Maxx Crosby (Raiders) before settling for Wilson and Williams.

The trades might help turn around the 2025 season. But both seemed to be more aimed at the next two years instead....
