Cowboys celebrate after 'exciting' trades for Quinnen Williams, Logan Wilson: 'I'm (expletive) pumped'
Our Summary
The Dallas Cowboys have made significant moves to bolster their struggling defense by acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson through trades. Williams, a three-time Pro Bowler, arrives from the New York Jets in exchange for a first-round pick, while Wilson comes from the Cincinnati Bengals. These trades follow the Cowboys' defensive shortcomings, as evidenced by their recent performance against the Arizona Cardinals.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised the acquisitions, highlighting Williams' ability to disrupt offenses and Wilson's experience as key assets. The Cowboys' defense has been underperforming, ranking 29th against the run and 21st in sacks per pass attempt. The additions aim to strengthen a defensive front that includes veterans Kenny Clark and Dante Fowler.
Quarterback Dak Prescott expressed excitement over the trades, acknowledging the pressure on the offense to perform due to defensive deficiencies. Despite ranking fourth in points scored per game, the Cowboys have struggled to convert high-scoring games into victories, standing at a 3-5-1
