Signed by Cowboys Cowboys and star DL Quinnen Williams agree to 3-year, $105.9M extension

[Havic]

GP playing on franchise tag for 2027. Deadline for a deal was July 15th. So he already knows it will be next year.

Was more of a tongue in cheek comment but good call out

So far all seem positive and like it.

Feels so good!! I'll be monitoring!!

Can this be a STICKY THREAD, it's big news!!

Nicole is having on heckuva summer! I think this is her 3rd big extension for one of her clients in a matter of weeks.

Glad Q will be with the team for some years.

And her clients don’t have to sit on tables to get paid.

That's the dude you pay right there.

good move...and this wasn't non-stop all over the media was it? Nice to see a deal done somewhat quietly.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Having said all this....

The Cowboys still had Quinnen under contract for two more years so there really wasn't that big of a rush to get this extension done now. The timing and the sudden extra cap space at least makes you THINK they could be opening up room for a trade acquisition.

The media is now gonna have to find something new to pee on the Cowboys about. Can’t say that they wait too long to sign their stars.. little do they know that it takes 2 to tango..

It’s HABBENING

OR NGM is playing Lucy to Charlie Brown as usual...

Hopefully, the Cowboy curse of second contracts/extensions will not show itself until a minimum of 4 more years.

Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for that to be the reality.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I know we are all concerned about the edge rushers, which is valid.

But when was the last time the Cowboys had two DTs as good as Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark at the same time? I think we'd have to go back to the 1990s with Leon Lett and Russell Maryland, to be honest.

 

[zrinkill]

I remember when Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith did not get big contracts until after they won a Superbowl ...... now you get big contracts because some sportswriter put you on a list.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Finally a welcome signing!!! Love the fact that we didn't give Micah all that guaranteed money - torn ACL and all - but gave it to a guy who is EXCELLENT at stopping the run.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

We all hate to say it, but give Jerry credit...

As almost everyone celebrates the signing...the curse of The Big Money payout haunts me. Maybe this one does payoff since he's not injured, rehabbing, or mental case?

 

[rambo2]

Now they have cap space.

Never once heard anything about a deal getting done. Good stuff.

I have a hard time giving Jerry credit for moves that don’t seem like him. It may come out this was but like hiring Christian Parker either he’s changed or someone else is in charge.

remember we had Chad Hennings and Tony Casilas as well
now none of them were as good as Q is, though Lett came close

Like I said, we done got some body doubles here
