Sam Williams Contract

Why cut him? He makes next to nothing, has experience at a position we are young at, and is playing for the bag.

Only thing is he is a genuinely stupid player, and if EZ is gonna fly off the handle, not sure we can have two like that.

Edge rushers are like pitchers in baseball. There’s not much to gain by cutting Sam Williams.
U cut him to make room for another player. EZ, miller, Lawrence, Gary, Houston….all OLB I would take above Williams, can even use Barham as a rusher at times. If they find we need another Olineman, got to cut someone from somewhere.
 
How often have we seen the Cowboys cut a player with guaranteed money, though? It may not seem like much, but there is still a cost that the Joneses have to pay to not have him on the roster.

Frankly, if they decide to move on, I could see them trying to trade him even for a conditional pick so that another team takes on the guaranteed salary cost. Then the team is only stuck with the signing bonus ($600,000).

Of course, his cap hit is $2.5 million while his dead cap hit is $2 million, so they might be satisfied just saving that half-million.
Strawman argument, the Cowboys currently have over $42 million in dead money.
