Dallas is sending two draft picks and a player to New York in the deal.
In yet another blockbuster deadline move, the New York Jets have agreed to trade Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. In return, the Jets will receive a 2026 second-round draft pick, a 2027 first-round draft pick, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
This was the second major move the New York Jets have made within the last two hours. Earlier, Gang Green sent former Pro Bowl cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for two first-round draft picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell.
Quinnen Williams is on pace to have another Pro Bowl season this year. Through eight games, Williams has 32 total tackles, 17 solo tackles, seven tackles for loss, and a sack. Last season, when he made the Pro Bowl, he had 37 total tackles, 25 solo tackles, eight tackles for loss, and six sacks.
Quinnen Williams was taken with the third overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft after an incredibly successful college career at the University of Alabama that featured a College Football Playoff National Championship. In 2022, he was named a First-Team All-Pro. He has also been elected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons.
