The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to their second trade on NFL trade deadline day.
The Cowboys are acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the Jets in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith. The 2027 pick will be the better of their two first-round picks, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Dallas Morning News.
The 2027 first round pick the Cowboys send to Jets will be the better of their two first round picks, per source. Reminder: they had an extra one from the Micah Parsons deal.

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has had interest in Williams. Before the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers, Jones called Jets owner Woody Johnson to ask about the availability of Williams but was told he wasn’t available.
