Cowboys Target Joshua Williams for Pass Defense Boost

0:00On March 4th, the Dallas Cowboys are laser-focused on fixing their league-worst pass defense this off-season. They brought in first-time defensive coordinator Christian Parker, who built top cornerbacks with the Eagles and Broncos. To make his new scheme work, they need athletic defensive backs, and one budget-friendly target is Chief's cornerback Joshua Williams. Williams is a 26-year-old former fourth-round pick and two-time Super Bowl winner. He posted top 10 stats and yards allowed per target in both 2023 and 2024, but saw less action in 2025. Behind Kansas City's deep secondary, experts see him as a steal at a projected one-year deal worth $1,500,000. His size, length, and speed make him a great fit for Parker's system, and fans are buzzing about the potential upgrade with his playoff experience. If Parker can revive Williams like he did past players, the Cowboys' secondary gets an instant lift without breaking the bank. Analysts have pegged Dallas as a top landing spot for this under the radar talent.
