Signed by Cowboys Cowboys re-sign Sam Williams

[OGSixshooter]

LOL...not "4L"...for one more year. Parents are part of the problem.

 

[Stash]

I don’t hate this move. Sam Williams teased some traits a few years back and I think the past changes at coordinator haven’t helped him.

I’ll give the new staff the benefit of the doubt about helping him.

 

[Scotman]

I guess I don't hate this like many of you. The talent is there. And, hopefully, a talented defensive coaching staff can bring it out of him. I saw they had signed him and I was afraid it would be 3 years at 10 each.

 

[shabazz]

Sam is worth $3 million. That's not saying much but he's worth $3 million.

The offense will use him as a tackling dummy and waterboy

Any port in a storm

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I appreciate you, Nip.

Man! Tough crowd in here sometimes. Lol

Someone just do that to me last week. I don’t remember what it was but the person I replied too understood exactly what I meant. I remember now I said that if I’m Miami I’d rather have Kyler than all of these QBs….of course I didn’t mention Mendoza because to me he was penciled in to Raiders but some smart *** had to tell me im
High if I think Mendoza was better. Clearly I wasn’t talking about him as option.

Why has Sam Williams started less games? Because he can’t beat out the guys in front of him. He was a second round pick. Our FO would love to pencil him in as a starter if they could.

I mean who was he suppose to beat out? Micah or Law?

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

This is different. This is what all in feels like.

JErRy gEtS iT nOw.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Williams is the perfect example of a Cowboy player who had done very little but is re-signed anyway.
Why sign him?
Why?

Last year it was a rookie second round pick.

Come on man what’s the argument here. That Sam is actually good? He stinks so far.

Showed something in 2022-23.

Then the injury.

But has good speed and obvious talent.

They need Edge LBs too.

 

[Havic]

This will be his last year with the team unless he shows out.

I don't care what the price is - Sam Williams is a dumb football player. Even at a low price point, the stupidity on the field makes him a liability. Not a road I would go down.

Huge head scratcher for me....Been raking my brain all day wondering WTH are they thinking???? Only thing I could come up with was....using him as a nickle pass rusher from the 5 tech....whenever they run the 3-4.....in 3rd and 4th downs...long distances.

 

[ak47kaehu]

He may be better suited to play olb in the 3-4. Body type reminds me of Anthony Spencer.

 

[CWR]

This is actually somewhat interesting. Maybe Sam needed more time to recover from a torn ALC and MCL, because his second half went under rated. Personally he makes me irrate with his stupidity, but this is encouraging I suppose...

Williams' season was a tale of two halves, earning him the title of PFF's "Most Improved" edge rusher in the second half of the year.

Overall Grade: 57.5
Early Season (Weeks 1–9): Struggled significantly with a 39.9 grade, ranking near the bottom of the league.

Late Season (Week 10–18): Surged to an 80.6 grade, the 11th-best at his position during that span.
Run Defense: Finished with a solid 74.7 run-defense grade (13th overall).
Pass Rush: Recorded 24 pressures and a 55.0 pass-rush grade.

i think stephen thinks he can unlock something once he deploys his secret sauce he talks about.

its probably a mix of Shiracha Mayo and Thousand islands

Maybe there is hope.

I stated before that resigning Sam Williams because of his versatility and special teams should happen and was a going to happen.

He reminds me of Jason Hatcher who took 5-7 years to blossom into a Pro Bowler. At least someone had a GM brain cell with the Arlington Jonesboys.

Reads more like a threat!!!

There is nothing to hate. He is either a camp body or he proves to CP he can be a contributor. If the Cowboys decide to move on, then simply cut him.

 

[LysleE]

This defense is in dire need of both quality starters and role players…Williams is neither. All he did was run his mouth. He has been on the team for 3 years and while physically talented, lacks the football IQ and situational awareness to be a consistent contributor under multiple coordinators. This money could be better spent elsewhere. At the very least he could have been a late signing by the Cowboys.

 

[plasticman]

This is a "show me" year for Williams who should have plenty saved up from what he didn't show in last season's "show me" year.
