Cowboys' unsung hero is the real MVP of blockbuster Quinnen Williams trade

The Dallas Cowboys made the most of the NFL trade deadline, bolstering their defense in a big way via the acquisition of New York Jets superstar defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

It cost a pretty penny for Jerry Jones to pull this deal off. A first-round bust in Mazi Smith, who the 'Boys somehow convinced Gang Green to take off their hands. Then it was a 2026 second-round selection, and a Round 1 pick in 2027.

In a perfect Jerry World, there's no reality in which Dallas is drafting high in the next couple of years.
