The Cowboys’ defense is bad. It’s been really bad. And the loss of Micah Parsons was far more impactful that owner Jerry Jones will ever care to admit. As Jones sat in his box for Dallas’ Monday Night Football game, he watched his team get embarrassed by a bad Cardinals team that put up 27 points.
After teasing a potential trade over the weekend, the Cowboys announced on Tuesday a deal with the Bengals to bring linebacker Logan Wilson to Dallas for a seventh-round pick. It wasn’t the most exciting
news for Cowboys fans, as they were adding a player who was benched on another of the league’s worst defenses. But, Jones wasn’t done just yet, and with just two hours left ahead of the NFL trade deadline, actually made a blockbuster move.
The Cowboys are trading for DT Quinnen Williams, and in exchange, are sending a first-round and second-round pick, and Mazi Smith, to the Jets — who are having a bit of a fire sale at the moment.
Adding Quinnen Williams is a good move, but even Jerry Jones can make a good decision every once in awhile. Will it solve the Cowboys defensive problems? Probably not. But it will definitely have an impact, and the Eagles still have to face Dallas one more time this season.
