The Dallas Cowboys made two key defensive acquisitions on the 2025 NFL trade deadline, acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets and linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals. These moves aim to address a struggling unit that has allowed 30.8 points per game through nine weeks. The trades come as Dallas sits at 3-5-1, seeking to salvage their playoff hopes.
The Dallas Cowboys traded for All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets on Tuesday, using assets from the earlier Micah Parsons deal to address defensive needs. This move pairs Williams with Pro Bowl DT Kenny Clark, acquired in the Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Williams' disruptive impact on the interior line.
