Dallas Cowboys and Pro Bowl Defensive Tackle Quinnen Williams Agreed to New Extension
He was acquired in a trade at the deadline last season. And since that time, it was the team’s goal to get him signed to a long-term deal. Well, that determination has become a reality. It was announced that the Dallas Cowboys and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams agreed to a new extension. Williams signed a three-year, $105.9 million extension, making him one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL. His annual salary of $35.3 million is slightly above the Titans defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons at $35.27 yearly average. Both of them are below Jalen Carter of the Eagles who set the market last month at $38 million per year.
Williams played in seven games for the Cowboys last year. He posted 21 tackles, three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks plus an interception. However, over his career he has 41.5 sacks with 343 tackles, 110 QB hits, eight forced fumbles and an impressive pair of picks. Needless to say, Williams is just the type of player coaches love and players fear. Hence Cowboys COO/co-owner Stephen Jones said:
“It’s a big part of all the moving parts that went with our trade last year,” Jones told DallasCowboys.com “I think this kind of, at the end of the day, puts a bow on top in terms of knowing that we’re going to have Q here for the next five years long term, and have Kenny [Clark] out there rolling, the deal we made with Rashan Gary and how we used the pick on [Malachi] Lawrence. All these things, you can’t say they were all tied to just that, but it’s a big deal. And certainly, he represents everything that we want in a Dallas Cowboys football player. He’s not only a great football player, but he’s a man, he’s a leader who people in the locker room look to every day. I was just talking to Christian [Parker], he’s the best player out on the field.”

And Williams is happy to be in Big D as that is what he wanted to happen. He had been asked at the end of July if he wanted to stay in Dallas and he replied:
“For sure, man,” Williams said when asked if he wanted to stay with the Cowboys long-term. “Especially being here with these guys, man. You’ve got a phenomenal group, a phenomenal staff, organization wise, it’s unbelievable. And then having guys that you can call and lean on, like DeMarcus Ware is one of my guys, it’s unbelievable man. Like I said, I’m not focused on no contract, I definitely want to be here for the long haul, I definitely would enjoy and love being here for the long haul, but I want to win, and that’s kind of the only thing I’m really focused on.”
Now he shall. Congratulations to Quinnen Williams on becoming highly paid!
