Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has signed a three-year contract extension that will make him the second-highest paid at his position, according to multiple reports. Williams, who came to Dallas in a trade deadline deal with the New York Jets last season, will earn $105.9 million over the length of the extension (through 2030). The deal includes $101 million guaranteed, $63.55 million guaranteed at signing and a $31.85 million signing bonus.
Contract Details
The 28-year-old’s $35.3 million annual average is second to Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter, who just signed a four-year extension worth $38 million per year. After the trade, Williams amassed 21 tackles, 1.5 sacks, nine quarterback hits and three tackles for loss in seven games played for the Cowboys.
From a team perspective, Dallas reduced its rushing yards allowed per game from 143 before Williams’ arrival to 99.1 in the seven games he played. The Jets received defensive tackle Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-round selection for Williams.
