Defensive Tackle · Dallas Cowboys

Quinnen Williams

No. 92 · 8th season

Quinnen Williams says the Cowboys have been fun. He also thinks last year was just the start.

There is something quietly telling about a player who calls a new place fun and then immediately says he knows he can do more.

Williams came to the Dallas Cowboys via a trade with the New York Jets during the 2025 season, stepping into a new locker room mid-year. Now he has a full offseason with the team under his belt — the routines, the relationships, the whole thing — and his read on it is that it clicked.

But the more interesting part is what he said next to that. He believes his play last year was not his ceiling. A player who is comfortable saying that publicly is either very sure of himself or very motivated. With Williams, it sounds like both.

For Dallas, that is exactly the kind of thing you want to hear from a defensive tackle settling into a new home. A full offseason is different from arriving mid-season — new teammates, new system, finding your footing. He has had all of that now.

The Cowboys are betting he is right about himself. So, apparently, is he.
