Former Alabama defensive lineman traded to Dallas Cowboys

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys have made a deal that sends former Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys.

Williams is a multi-time pro-bowler and has been on the Jets for the entirety of his professional career. He is viewed as one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league, and the defensive line is a position the Cowboys desperately needed to improve as the organization sent Micah Parsons to the Packers before the season began.

The Jets are looking to the future and dealing their best players for draft picks.
