Sam Williams Returns to Cowboys on One-Year 'Prove It' Deal

Edge rusher Sam Williams has re-signed with the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. After a knee injury cost him the 2024 season and a difficult 2025 campaign, Williams enters this year needing to prove his value in Christian Parker's new scheme. Despite maturity concerns and stiff competition for snaps, the Cowboys are hoping the former second-round pick can regain his form and provide much-needed pass-rushing depth for the 2026 season.
