Should Cowboys bring C Connor Williams back?

[john van brocklin]

Center Connor Williams suffered a torn ACL back in early December 2023. Such an injury at a minimum lasts between 9 months and 12 months in order for it to fully heal. This means Connor Williams won't be able to play until most likely some time in late November. With this in mind and how Connor Williams is now a free agent, the Miami Dolphins got tired of waiting and hired Titans free agent Center, Aaron Brewer. This leaves Connor Williams available and on the outside looking in.

With the Cowboys currently in need of a good quality starting Center (Connor Williams was one of the best Centers in the NFL these past 2 seasons), should they bring Connor Williams back, offer him around 7-8 mil/season and patiently hope he fully recovers in time to play around Thanksgiving time?

Is he playing for free?

I would offer Connor Williams (after team doctor looks at his knee first) a veteran minimum 1 year deal with incentives to see if he's able to recover from that torn acl injury.

Stephen would approve of your offer!!!

I would agree with Stephen, especially since Connor Williams ended ranked top 3 overall as a Center last season. It's worth looking into since we currently have no top Center.

Yeah as need to have a top center maybe in the draft!

in the end, we wont bring Connor in. That ship has sailed. They like Hoffman and Bass alot. So much so they might not draft a guy til late. Hoffman is dirt cheap, as is Bass. One thing they will do is get much bigger on the dline and linebacker. Thats the direction we will go in the draft. We need dump trucks full of dirt at dt and edge. We need thumpers at linebacker with just enough skill to also cover. I dont think Damone Clarks days in Dallas will be much longer. He was terrible, poor tackler. We need enforcers at linebacker, not liabilities. Same at dline.

4th knee operation at only 26 years old. He also rubbed the dolphins the wrong way by trying to holdout during mini camp after only playing center for a single year.

Holding out? Sounds like he should fit right in here.

Can't say that I blame him. We did him wrong IMO. He is a good player and we kept forcing him into a position that he was ill-suited for.

Because we have not been able to get the OL coach situation right to save our lives.

Wish would confirm how utterly messed up this current coaching staff is .
