  "account": "Veteran defensive end Sam Williams has been identified as a potential trade candidate for the Dallas Cowboys, according to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report. The Cowboys are looking to bolster their roster ahead of the 2026 NFL season, and the team's depth at the position, combined with available cap space, may make Williams a valuable trade asset. Williams, a 2022 second-round pick, returned to Dallas in free agency on a one-year deal after suffering a torn ACL in 2024. Despite his promising performances in his first two seasons with the team, recording 8.5 sacks, his future at the position may be limited. Dallas currently has just $5.1 million in cap space, but trading Williams could generate additional space, potentially creating opportunities for the Cowboys to acquire more impactful players.",
