Cowboys Sign Star Defender to Massive $100 Million Contract Extension
The Dallas Cowboys have locked in one of their best players for the foreseeable future.
Dallas Cowboys commit to defensive standout Quinnen Williams with a staggering $100 million contract extension. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Williams will be locked in for three more seasons, netting him a $105.9 million deal. The team acquired Williams in the trade deadline last season, sending Mazi Smith, a second-round draft pick, and a conditional first-round pick to the New York Jets.
Williams' impact was evident early, tallying 21 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a pass defensed, and an interception in his first seven games. Now, with the most guaranteed money ever given to a defensive tackle, Williams is poised to build on his success. Drafted third overall in 2019 by the Jets, Williams has since been recognized with four Pro Bowls and a first-team All-Pro award in 2022.
His impressive statistics include 343 tackles, 41.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 15 pass defensed, and two interceptions.
