Cowboys Sign Quinnen Williams to Three-Year, $105.9 Million Extension
The deal includes $101 million guaranteed, the most ever at signing for a defensive tackle, and could keep Williams in Dallas through 2030.
The Dallas Cowboys agreed to terms with defensive tackle Quinnen Williams on a three-year extension worth $105.9 million, including $101 million guaranteed, the most guaranteed money ever given to a defensive tackle at signing, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
How big is the deal?
At $35.3 million per year, Williams's average salary ranks second among defensive tackles behind only Philadelphia's Jalen Carter. The extension could keep him in Dallas through the 2030 season.
How did he end up on the Cowboys?
Dallas acquired Williams at the 2025 trade deadline, sending a 2027 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to the Jets. This extension comes as he heads into his first full season with the team.
Why lock him up now?
The deal secures a proven interior pass rusher as a long-term cornerstone of Dallas's defensive front, removing any uncertainty about his future with the team just as he settles in after the midseason trade.
