ESPN gives Cowboys an "F" for trade of former Alabama football star

There were several blockbuster trades at the NFL Trade deadline this year. One of the biggest was the New York Jets sending former Alabama All-American defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for DT Mazi Smith, a 2026 2nd round pick, and a 2027 1st round pick.

Williams was the No. 3 overall pick by the Jets in 2019 and had spent his whole career to this point in New York. He is regarded as one of the top defensive tackles in the NFL and was a 2022 first-team All-Pro. He's also made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons.
