About this episode

Dallas Cowboys Re-sign Defensive End Sam Williams: A Promising Addition to the Defensive Front

The Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive end Sam Williams to a one-year contract, bringing him back to the team. Williams, 27, played all 17 games last season, starting five and recording 37 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. Drafted by the Cowboys in the second round in 2022, Williams showed promise with 8.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss in his first 32 games. However, a torn ACL and MCL sidelined him in 2024. His return in 2025 was met with praise from teammates and coach Brian Schottenheimer for his hunger and drive. Williams also made key plays on special teams, blocking a field goal and a punt that resulted in a touchdown. This move, along with the trade for Rashan Gary, strengthens the Cowboys defensive front for the upcoming season.

On March 10th, the Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive and Sam Williams to a one-year contract to bring him back to the team. Williams, who will be 27 years old at the start of the 2026 season, played all 17 games for Dallas last year, starting 5, and posting 37 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and 1 sec. Earlier in his career, the Cowboys drafted Williams in the second round, 56th overall, back in 2022, out of all miss. He showed promise with 8.5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss over his first 32 games, but a torn ACL and MCL in the 2000. 24 training camps sidelined him for that entire season. Teammates and head coach Brian Schadenheimer raved about Williams' hunger and drive when he returned for the 2025 camp. He made key plays on special teams too, blocking a field goal against the Detroit Lions, and a pun versus the Arizona Cardinals that turned into a touchdown. This marks the second pass rush boost for Dallas on the first day of legal tampering.

Earlier Monday morning, they traded with the Green Bay Packers for Rashon Gary in exchange for a fourth round pick in the 2027. Draft. With these moves, the Cowboys are stacking their defensive front, setting up an exciting push as they gear up for next season.
