Quinnen Williams agrees to $105.9M contract extension with Cowboys, locking him in through 2030 season

A DC said that he would "sleep like a baby" if he played Shedeur Sanders. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if Shedeur should start for the Cleveland Browns, and if the Dallas Cowboys can be the top offense in the NFL after George Pickens was ranked the 36th best player in the NFL.

The Dallas Cowboys and veteran defensive tackle Quinnen Williams agreed to a three-year extension prior to the start of the 2026 NFL season that will make him one of the highest-paid players at his position.

Williams agreed to an extension worth $105.9 million, including $101 million in guaranteed money and $63.35 million guaranteed at signing. He is also getting a signing bonus worth $31.85 million.

Williams, who has made the last four Pro Bowls, was traded to the Cowboys before the deadline last season in a blockbuster deal with the New York Jets.

The Jets, who were in the middle of another lackluster season, decided to trade away Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner (Indianapolis Colts), parting ways with two top four NFL Draft choices as they continue to rebuild.

Williams’ trade was interesting considering the Jets inked him to a four-year extension worth $96 million with $66 million guaranteed in 2023. The Jets acquired a second-round pick in 2026, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith in exchange for Williams.
