Cowboys Re-sign Versatile DE Sam Williams

0:00On March 10th, the Dallas Cowboys are bringing back defensive end Sam Williams on a one-year deal worth $3 million. The former second-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft is set to stay in Dallas for at least another season. Williams has played his first three years with the Cowboys, racking up 9.56, 22 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles. He missed time after tearing his ACL and training camp during one of those early seasons on his rookie contract. This past year, he stepped up with 37 tackles including 23 solo stops and two pass breakups. After focusing on pass rushing in his first couple of seasons, he shifted to stopping the run and stuffed runners at the line seven times. Fans and analysts see this as a smart move to keep a versatile player who can build on his recent career highs. His background from Ole Miss, where he's shown in college, plus a strong NFL combine, made him a solid pick at number 24 overall. With Williams locked in, the Cowboys bolster their defensive line as they gear up for more action ahead.
